Our kicking is poor. As usual.

Lucky omac can hit a target.

 

Some OK signs but just as many worries. ANB, Petracca, Brayshaw, Tomlinson decent.

Jetta, AvdB, Oliver and few others well off the pace.

    Good pressure so far. Just need to capitalise on the scoreboard more.

    3 set shots missed! We just have to fix that or we waste another season. Wasn’t Lewis taken on as goal kicking coach? He is commentating but not taking ownership. 

    Hawthorns disposal have been garbage as well- it’s the wind.

     

     

    Come on  Dees!  Preseason  or not Hate losing to the Mongrel Hawks. Stressed before the season actually starts.

    Weid needs to start clunking marks. 


    Poor skill from both teams. All the summer training and they are still rusty.  MFC dominate inside 50s with little scoreboard impact or pressure. 

    whyyyyyyy can't weed mark it

    he gets to the right spots time and time again, his second efforts are good, his kicking is generally sound...but he just doesn't clunk the marks

    He did down back I think that might be his future.

    One day Weid will take a mark. 

    Yes. Built like Tarzan but plays like ... well he should be stronger at marking the footy like he really wants it. 


    Really glad we've sorted our goal kicking over the summer...

    Did at Casey too 

    The funking hilariousness of blanket statements being made on the basis of a qrt. It’s preseason, for all :)

    Langdon is a 10/10 pick up. Love him. 
    He is fast and he can kick. Already he’s 100 times better than anyone we’ve had on a wing in the past 4 years.

    Super kick from Milkshake.  Love him from that distance.

    Great link up play too.

    Skills aren't great, true, but the conditions aren't exactly conducive to it.  Slippery all round the ground.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
