O'Mac punched it through... probably the right thing according to the commentators

Omac didn't punch it through. He was flying for the mark but a dark haired casey player punched it through. Can't remember the name.

    Spargo no goals and wasted kicking. He has a long way to go.

    Unlike him - usually it’s the other way around with very few possessions but good decision making. Probably lacking confidence. Still think he will be ok long term. He needs to develop some upper body strength to be able to stick tackles

    Doesn’t sound like the right thing to do given the scores and the time. But sounds very OMac

    have doubts on Petty, not sure he is quick enough (pace and decision making)

    Maybe Petty is just still thinking his way thru footy... and not yet playing on instinct.  Lets give him time. 

    Oscar is the one who needs his finger surgically removed from an orifice...  someone give him a rattle,  so he can move along to its beat.

    Sparrows performance was pleasing to read about. Seems to be a likely inclusion for Viney next week.

    Was hoping to read a bit about Sparrow’s game in the VFL match report. Nothing on him, not even named in the best.

    Saw Sparrow was an emergency for the Richmond game which suggests he’s still in the coach’s mind for a call-up.  Seems a likely inclusion at this point.

    Maybe he can be put in the forward line to add a bit of pressure

    Yeah- would have to be a half forward role.  

    Petracca to the midfield for Viney, Sparrow to half-forward for Petracca.

    Kielty WILL play VS Hawks, Mark it down. 

    Chance Oscar replaces him but I hope not - think we need potential of someone taking grabs up forward or going back. Could both come in to replace Weid but unlikely. Really need Smith, VB, May, Lever back and I think Baker will play in 2-3. So annoyed we put smith back on field to make groin worse he was PRIMED for marking fwd pressure dual role!!!

    Kielty, Sparrow in for Viney & Weideman.

    Thats the risk you take.  You dont rush a behind with scores level that late in the game.

    Yes you do as it gives you clean possession and the chance to move it 70 metres toward goal with one kick

    Although it’s not really ‘we’. It’s a VFL team.

    Think it’s we to most of us

    Preuss will come in for Weid. Keilty has done very little, only 10 touches he doesn't get the ball enough. ANB is injured too isn't he Corey will come in for him.

    I would wait on baker. No pre season remember. 

    Didn't really look the goods before he was injured..

    How the hell could you tell that about bedford yet.

    As a junior he didn't get a lot of the ball and was not a goal kicker.

    At his size he has to do more than just tackle, run fast...and get a couple of kicks

    He's following a similar path to another couple of kids that have been on the list, Dom Barry & Dion Johnstone. They looked ok but couldn't find enough of the ball.

    So...just a feeling I have. Hope I'm proved wrong...

    On today’s form, Sparrow and Keilty could come in.  Add Preuss back as well. 

    Think Viney out injured, with Weideman and Hunt to be likely omissions.

    Why are we drafting these types, small forwards who don’t kick goals and don’t have too many tricks, that is X factor?

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
