Tuggers celebrating goals like they matter. 

 
 

No surprise to see the Tigers get on top here.  If you're watching it carefully, the mistakes are coming from the depth players who are being given a run today.  It also means that our work from the kick outs, and even the run from defence, isn't working how we'd like.  

That's what JLT is for, though.

    I want Salem to be a midfielder - but he just isn't. He is far more effective down back.

    Yep agree King. He's just not quick enough instinct/reaction-wise. Nothing wrong with being a good disposer coming off HB though.

    I’d seriously play Petty or Frost over OMac. He’s getting outrun by Nankervis for god sake.

    Petty has been one positive in our backline so far today.  Has already taken three good grabs and has used it quite well.  Positive signs for him.

    13 scoring shots to 10... hm....

    He's slow in the head and slow in general play. He reminds me so much like Garland in their seemingly lackadaisical approach.

    spargo... 65% gametime for 1 possession

    He’s been rubbish. He was poor last match too. He doesn’t get involved a lot, so he needs to make the most of his opportunities and currently isn’t. Jeffy however has been good the past few marches and should be in the team round 1 on form.

    Pruess has been a big disappointment today. Someone his size getting tackled and pinged by small rejects like Mac Weller is an embarrassment. He’d wanna turn his form around or he won’t be playing much senior footy this year. Very uncompetitive today.

    Stands out when our defence is butchering the delivery

    • 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.
