Cute goal

 
 

Spargo has started really well. Watching him close up and he’s made some smart decisions in traffic.


Omac takes a strong pack mark. Hits a target. Rivers than turns it over and cost us a goal.

Classic turnover there.

Yep, poor kick by Rivers straight to an opponent

good, he'll learn from it.

OMac is a pretty good kick, doesnt miss many. Thats not an issue.

Spargo and Brown playing well. Melksham slotted a nice goal.

It really is a step up from VFL and although no one is going in very hard, its a good match. Havent seen Bradtke get many hitouts yet.

If we can take anything from a scratch match, and really you can't read too much into it, there are some positives.

Rivers, outside of the late turnover, has look good with ball in hand and shows composure.

Spargo did some nice things and it's good to see him hit a few targets and get to position well.

Melksham is a cut above the rest but, most pleasingly, is looking really fit.

Gus and Fritsch haven't had a major impact but will get better as the game rolls on.

Half forward.

Is there any wind there?

Slight breeze.  Perfect conditions. Ground in top nick.

Besides the turn over, Rivers has been good as has Spargo.

memo to rivers: don't go short back into the corridor from back pocket!

Exactly what Tomlinson was saying to Lockhart after Lockhart went inboard and turned the ball over leading to North’s first goal. Interesting listening as the North player was lining up. Tomlinson basically told him there was no need to go toward the centre at all. He praised him for the nifty footwork but Tomlinson had led to the boundary and that’s where the ball should have gone.

If it comes down to a tall forward choice between Brown and Weid, then Weid will need to lift considerably

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • 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.

    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.
