Umps not giving us much

That's an understatement.  17 frees to 10 their way.

 
 

The only thing I don't like so far is our pressure in the forward line when he ball hits the deck.  They have run it out far too easily this term.  We need to be better with this.


 

[censored] I love Jetta! Awesome mark!

    I wish every player on this team had the same attitude & effort as Neville Jetta.

    Went through like a freight train!

    As for Smith, got injured through his own stupidity. Decides to play and after marking and have his kick smothered when he should've gone back and given himself more distance over the mark.

    Lewis has been good today.

    Said Fritsch off injured and said nothing else since. Useless commentators

    Again TMac and Weid spoil each other. 

    That's what happens when you just bomb it in long. A bit more clarity from those delivering the ball would make it easier for our forwards.

    An easy chest mark dropped by Spargo and puts us immediately under pressure the other way.


    This has been a great contest. But both sides need to put it away for the past quarter. Players are dropping like flies. It's a practice match ffs!

    We can't stop them running out of defence. 

    To me, that's the only thing that I've been disappointed with.  I can handle the skills, fitness etc. at this time of the year.  But our pressure when the ball his the deck hasn't been great, and for the game style we have it needs to be better.  We bomb it in and if it isn't marked then we keep it in there and set up the wall.  Hasn't happened nearly enough today, although you would expect it to improve when the real stuff begins.

     

    Fritsch with a hip. Don’t think he will play again today. 

    Our defence is all at sea. Can’t say I’m full of confidence at the moment. It is just a practice match I know, but between our horrible form and the injuries, I prefer it be over already.

    Have to agree Wise. If that is indeed our gameplan, then keeping the ball in once it hits the deck has to be our biggest contingency plan should we not mark it.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
