It's going to be fun watching the rest of the comp cotton on to how good Salem actually is. Often dismissed as steak knives in the Tyson deal. He's gonna shock a few.

    At the ground where we just kicked into the wind. Was howling when Wieds took his kick hence the poor trajectory.

    Positives:

    - Smith is a player

    - Salem is all class and involved a lot

    - Jones and Viney involved in everything

    - VB Cans only $5

    - Trac and Bradshaw both busy

     

    Negatives

    - too Hogan conscious in the first quarter

    - need some beater kicks and not bombing going inside 50

    - easy goals from WB from half forward

    - TMac having a pretty sour game so far

     

     

    At least you are spared the commentary team fawning over Cloke and the Doggies. You wouldn't know the Dees were playing.

    No, we will be. Were were in a position to put a beating on this mob. We got complacent, made some mistakes, now they are in the game.

    Joel Smith would have to be pretty happy with his first half! I'm excited!

    Interesting to see Salem being all about contested possessions and handballs, working in the middle.

    If I let myself hype, Sam Weidemann sounds like he might be a useful mark-kick-goal-repeat player for us, while Hogan roams wild.

    Saw Wagner on crutches. Did they give an update?

    Not yet, although crutches doesn't fill you with confidence.  Hopefully they're just doing it as a precaution.

    yes, they're not saying knee or ankle, but possibly something with the fibula.

    His knee was strapped wasn't it? That precludes ankle.

    i'll say it again - brayshaw is a very poor kick who regularly misses targets.

    under no pressure we had an easy 50 entry and brayshaw turned it over - and they got a goal as a result

    That's what happens when you drop the ball from just below your chin.

    Umps very quick to call holding/dropping ball to us. Not so quick the other way. 

    That's what happens when you're playing the "better" team. and they're the premiers on top of that. Get used to it.

    agreed.

    he can't kick properly and trac gives hospital handballs - fortunately things that they can work on.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
