Luckily I am getting tanked before the in laws and kids come over for tea. How unwatchable if football these days...but I still can't avert my eyes.

By the way... still no goalless quarters...

The we momentum swung our way that qtr. Our finishing i to the forward line is still a massive worry.

 

After least after last week we should be fresh to run it out hard in the second half

Lots of positives though. Have liked Hannan’s game so far - he adds plenty when he is fit and going.

He and Lockhart have been great additions.

    McDonald is doing everything right so far. Everything he has brought the ball down our way its created opportunities for our cumbers

    Should have been the first dropped after the Carlton game as was stated many times here, sadly our coaching geniuses thought otherwise.

    He has half a game to keep his place.

    I think James Harmes might be back in the midfield for good after this.

    Rivers and Lockhart look very very good 

    Like them, just add something different 

    if Tmac can stick a few it'd be nice

    Much better quarter but still issues.

    We're barely generating shots on goal and too many of them are on an angle.

    Brayshaw's goal was nice but the kick inside 50 from Harmes was to a pack of Geelong players who spoiled each other.

    Our defence tightened though, and our ball movement sped up which was important. We're zero chance of winning if we try playing slow with short kicks.

    Gawn, Tomlinson and Lockhart all playing well IMO.

    god damn we need a forward 

    Might be time to swap Lever up forward for T-Mac.  Even if its just for a quarter.  Need a tall mobile marking forward in the mix.  Too many wasted entries

    Steven May playing a very good defensive game on Hawkins.

    Rivers is playing like a veteran already.

    Hibbered has actually been good.

    Leave Harmes in the midfield and get rid of the Dusty don't argues!

    agree - he's too good to play down back

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
