Rivers and Lockhart - very good kicks: what we need.

    Might only be a scratch match but there are players here clearly trying their hardest to make an impression and impressing they are. 

    Some of the ball movement out of defence has been first class and intensity is through the roof.

    Fritsch behind from a set shot

     4.12.36 to 3.2.20

    I could go back to 2019 match reports and copy and paste about 500 comments asking. Why Isn't goal kicking coached and practiced at training?


    Good forward pressure and tackle by Bedford. Reward for effort with the set shot Goal.

    Rivers kick a few minutes ago out of the back 50 was a beauty. Allowed us to open up the whole ground and transition quickly  for a shot on goal. Hope to see him in the seniors this year.

    Isn’t Lewis our goal kicking coach? 

     

    Field kicking has been good, just not goal kicking. 


    I wonder how far Spargo can kick. I dont know if he can cover > 35 meters.

    WHAT THE HELL IS STAFFORD DOING?

    How is a former ruckman the goal kicking coach? On researching this he kicked 141 goals 66 behinds during his career, so he did spend some time forward. FWIW, I played a lot of my amateur football as a ruckman and take offense that stereotype us as poor kicks. Having said that, if you had Matthew Lloyd or Greg Stafford as your two options........

    He’s getting plenty of it.

    Loving our transitions but by golly, Gus looks rusty!

    He looks a fair way off teh pace, which is ok, Swallow looks better than him. It may take a while for Gus to get going. He wouldnt be on the plane to Perth in my team at the moment, looks like he needs block of games.

    6.12.48 to 3.2.20

     whoever the Casey boys are they’re doing alright. 

    Either you're a prophet, or the stream is on a delay...!

    I think the best thing to come out of this game is that it looks like we have depth, more so than ever. Its exciting.

     

    Thinking about a pint or two at Hardemans after this if anyone is keen. 
    Meet a few of you desperado’s.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
