    6 rounds in and we are clear last on the ladder.

    Let that sink in. 

    Nathan Jones, Max Gawn, Jack Viney, Jordan Lewis, Tom Mcdonald, Nev Jetta, and Hibberd should be embarrassed. 

    What a massive indictment on everything Roos and Jackson achieved. What a massive insult to the fans and what they've had to put up with.

    What a [censored] disgrace.

    Yep folks, we are now on the bottom.  Extraordinary, hardly believable.

    The results of this round have pushed us to last. Better?

    Totally agree. Years of being a basket case and getting top draft pick and where stone motherless last. Do club like Cats; Eagles, Hawks ever experience this humiliation. Shameful. As for Stephen May hang your head in shame

    These ANZAC Services on before games, after ANZAC Day are just not right. 

    Why does the AFL persist in such things?

    don’t over do it...

    With Easter and ANZAC Day so close this year it seems like everyone has taken the opportunity to treat the whole week as a holiday. The day (a solemn DAY of remembrance) has lost something with this continuation. Easter round was already long and drawn out. Thank goodness ANZAC Day falls on a Saturday next year.

    Rosee, Butters and Duursma all look like good pick ups for Port

    Three first round picks in the last draft! Looks like it’s transformed the team. I also note how well their no name backline played because they are organised and work as a unit. And we coughed up 3 first rounders for 2 key backs who can’t get on the park. Just an observation.

    Agreed. Anzac Day was just swamped this year.

    Well, in this month's edition of Ben Cunnington is a sniping *****, we have some kind of Marvel-inspired dance-attack elbow to the face of Brad Ebert.

    So... nearest the pin guesses what excuse the tribunal will find to downgrade it to a fine, or will he maybe even get a whole week this time?

    Following on from the whack Robbie Gray in the guts move that had him off the ground earlier in the game.

    Kids can play much earlier,  if they can find the space and time that suits them.   Always has been. 

    More space effectively makes the game feel a little slower for them, compared to the congested flood of last year. They can feel their way more naturally.

    Back in the 70's,  kids like Timmy Watson were playing VFL at 16Yrs of age,

     

    The AFL's cocked up timing of changes really stuffed us,  as we were building for the game style of the past 8 Years.

    Seems like an age ago already that I looked at our team and thought we could win the whole thing. That was frikn August. When I look now we seem fully a mile off even being a goodish, ordinary team. 

    In time we’ll find out exactly what happened in the summer of 18/19. I have a complex theory but it involves black magic and Voldemort.

    Brad Scott's thin skin shows again:  :.. admits that stinging criticism from club greats could become a distraction for his team..."  "But it’s a fact that it can become a distraction. Particularly when a club that prides itself on being really tight and really strong has people nipping around the edges."  Carey and King criticise North

    That is a startling admission and would imagine more distracting to his players knowing that their coach is taking on board what commentators say.  Commentators who are paid to create click bait. 

    King and Carey aren't giving worse than we got from the likes of Lyon and Schwartz for a few years. 

    Scott could learn a lot form Goodwin:  tell his team it is all 'fugazzi'!

    Unfortunately it’s only fugazi if you start winning games.

    • 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?
