T MAC is a shadow of himself. Move May into forward like 

 

I don’t think we are out of this, we’ve improved this quarter around the ball, just need to get smarter with disposal in our forward half

Edited by —coach—

Frost, Oliver and Viney thats it.

Weideman not a natural footballer 

needs to spend the start of each season at Casey and continue to learn there’s more to it than mark and kick

Key forwards aren’t in the team to tackle but his pressure is woeful.

Bring in Keilty

Yep should have had Keilty in instead of OMc.

 

Petracca. The momentum killer.

Season over

Serious finals aspirations are... I'd say

Petracca stuffed it again. How can anyone be satisfied with what he’s producing? 


We just do not play good in the heat or the wet.

Just wait till the conditions are perfect, we will blitz.

Petracca is horrible. Needs to go to the VFL and learn to take a mark. 

Oliver is the only player I want near the ball. The rest are VFL standard. 

Amazingly we are not out of this.

Need to outscore them by 2 goals in the third and see what we can do in Q4.

Our lack of scoring power is seriously worrying

oliver is a freak

brayshaw, viney and harmes are honest battlers

we have no forward structure and no way of moving the ball forward other than bombing it long

petracca, anb and hunt worst on

Tell you what, if this is the only margin at the end, I’ll take it as moral victory 


Fritsch has been disappointing so far this season too. I was expecting him to take another step forward this year and become a quality player, but he’s struggling.

Oliver really digging in and trying to carry the team. He’s a star.

Good end to the half. Got on top. 

Oliver amazing. KK, Frost, May, Brayshaw all solid. Viney in and out. Petracca just terrible. Gawn uninspiring and seemingly not 100%. Zero forward coherency. ANB useless. Weeds not ideal for the weather. Jones is absolutely cooked.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
