Harmes will struggle to get a game. 

Until he improves his kicking he will be struggling to cement a position. Once he does though, he'll become an almost automatic selection, as he can find a fair bit of the footy.

    Petracca kicks his fourth to go along with his 20 touches.

    A number of the young blokes have played well ... Salem,  Petracca & Oliver especially.  Brayshaw has shown a bit when he's been on - got some class about him. 

    Viney,  Jones,  Gawn,  Vince,  Lewis,  Hogan all good & all our backmen have done their job too.  Vanders, Hunt & ANB all made contributions. 

    Some great signs.  The Blues never threatened. 

    17.14.116 to 9.8.62.

    TMac makes really bad decisions with the ball.  Cost us a couple of goals.

    lots of positives, but blues were witches hats.

    Wouldn't you know it. However they were gimmes and he only had 4 possessions. I do like him as a player nonetheless

    9 goal win should help Membership ticking over

    We should be in the mix this year

    Our swarming pressure on the player with the ball and quick hands to someone in space out of a contest were the general highlights. Petracca played the game at a different level to all others today and showed he has gone up a level or 2 at least. Melksham rusty first half but very good second half. Our general transition out of deep defence is our biggest issue. Spencer proved he will be serviceable if needed to stand up during the year but I think we can put the two ruckman experiment away for round 1.

    DId you mean 14?

    To me the most obvious difference in our play is the quick sharp handballs which are not going to a player about to be tackled, or are so quick that he still isn't tackled.  Perhaps that is biased by only watching the game on TV.

    Club history made twice today.

    First Melbourne Football Club win at Casey Fields ... (in the AFLW)

    Second Melbourne Football Club win at Casey Fields ... (and first in the AFL)

    Other notable achievement ->

    Put an end to Carlton's season (well that's what one of their supporters just told me).

    Carlton weren't destined for much of a season ;)

    Good hit out and solid contribution from all. However, the McDonald brothers really need to work on their disposal and decision making. CP was epic today and if he can consistently play to that level then he could be anything.

    Oh, I was watching on the iPhone in Bunnings with the kids screaming in the play area.

    Bit distracted.

    • 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.

    • 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.
