Yep that flick was far too cute. It's times like this where we're prone to complacency thinking it's already all locked up.

I think the flip has worked well the problem was the lack of a melbourne player running through there.

Bad last 5 mins

We slacked off a lot more than five minutes it was just that the kicked their goals in the last few mins. They had lots of the ball just kicked inaccurately during the quarter.

    How has everyone seen T-Mac so far?

    Servicable

     

    We were outplayed for most of the second half of the quarter. It's actually a relief they didn't score more against us. Hopefully we can get back on top through the middle.
    BTW I really like Rivers - he looks a keeper.

    Melksham and Jones quiet, need to do more.


    Disappointing that we let them back in the game. We are up by 5 goals a comfortable lead but not a match winning lead. Lets hope we find our first quarter form.

    Quiet with good little bits, hasn’t really been in many contested marking situations. I’d like to see a bit more from him in the 2nd half.

    Rivers looks very good, Jackson has wow factor!

    Rivers does look good. Jackson is thereabouts. It's a big ask to have a first year player chopping out in the ruck. I'd love to see him snag a goal.

    Struggling with the pace of ball movement so fumbled a couple but he is getting into the right positions and hopefully the nerves settle. 

    Thanks, lets hope he can get in the the game?


    41 points up only a small big lead lot easier to come back from, after the first 7 goals ever side is certain to kick the next few goals fact of football.


    Knuckle up Melbourne 

     

    Whats with the fumbling

    • 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.
