    Reasonably sure there's more to it than: Handball blind = Premiership.

    Him & Viney had a very compromised pre-season (only 3 weeks).  Let's see how they both come out in the first 6 rounds in 2020.

    Lever has been dogged today and not in a good way.  Another handball over the head Lucifer's longjohns!

    Tough to watch. How did our ball movement and skills get to be so bad. 

    Im so focused on how often we f up that’s its easy to forget the scores are level. I expect that small mercy to be removed early  in the third.

    Oliver's never had one though. Every time Max gives him one he hands it off to the nearest customer.

    What about drinking bourbon straight from the bottle at 3.30 in the afternoon?

    Haha yep has a ring to it Trig.  Especially in the deep of winter!

    Melk & Fritschreig our only two who have shown natural forward instincts/craft and finishing skills this season along with Lewis when played there.  Good to have those two up forward again.  Working well together also so far.

    Melk one of the rare players for us who works hard to position himself front and square (on the move) for the crumb.

    Both are always on the move as well.

    wow... just wow

    Just tuned in been at a few open houses. Seems like our best footy has already happened :( 

     

    Gee Wags, JKH, ANB, Stretch and Spargs are all very easily brushed aside.   Need some strengthening, big pre-seasons await.   No sure how many with Dees in 2020.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
