The Weid has kicked 2

That’s a positive for me

One of them was a gift from that fat explosive guy wearing number 5.

    The make shift backline being ordinary is hardly a surprise. 

    Nor is a shock that Preuss is going to take a while to build his tank.

    The bigger shame is that we’re still making system mistakes.

    - Bombing it forward under little pressure.

    - 2 defenders on to 1 opponent with no impact.

    There’s a bunch of maturing limited players who have shown no improvement as well. Oscar, Frost, ANB, Hunt all bad.

    Yeah. Was hoping to see just a few in and under type things. Tough to do in a half I guess.


    Hunt and stretch not up to it either

    Not as key cogs in a side, though.  Allow them to be role players again and they'll do their job well.

    Wouldn’t say they do their job well.

    Stretch can’t kick and Hunt is not much better


    3 goals in 4 mins

    I like Preuss as a second ruck to Gawn but  as I’ve been saying for months we need another ruck option to cover injuries.

    Keilty has been serviceable, Pedersen would be handy but we need another genuine ruck.

    One player who I reckon has sewn up a spot in Round 1, if he hadn't already, is Fritsch.  He's had a great day.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
