I am out tonight and can't watch all the media footy shows post round 1, however it would be good if anyone could summarise what the footy shows discuss about the Dees tonight.

    Lloyd questioned Hogan's attitude for the first 3 quarters, said he was excellent in the last. Big praise for Watts.  Lloyd said we will win around 50% of our games but just miss out on the 8. That was it basically.

    No mention of Oliver? These shows are all just about Collingwood these days

    Good summation HB but I note most of the show has been spent talking Hawks and to Sam Mitchell. FCS the Hawks get all the coverage on free to air programs because they always play Friday, Saturday. We playing in the twilight zone get no coverage on Sunday and get something on Monday nights occasionally. Not much tonight though. I thought Oliver might have got something but no, let's talk a bit longer with Sam 'corker' Mitchell about their injury burden! 

    By the way did anyone see Hodge dropping the knee onto Bartels today? Barts had to leave the field on the blood rule. Saw it once on the news but would love to see it again to judge the intent. No doubt MRP will look the other way anyway.

    Bernie vince on game day & nate jones on sunday footy not enough for some people? More coverage than most weeks for us I would've thought. Now clarry gets the rising star there's bound to be more during the week too! Lol

    Talking footy was actually quite good tonight.  Lots of discussion of the drug tests, of course.  They really rate Oliver and his Rising Star Nom.  Also talked up the overall quality of the top 5 draftees who all got games this week and all looked AFL-ready.  Wietering and Oliver were singled out from the bunch for their awesome games.  Watts got a big wrap as well for his game. Said he had set a new bar for himself and now he needs to play like that every week. They also rate the direction Melbourne has taken with their gameplan.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
