Weid needs to kick this for confidence. 

I posted last week that Sam needed to practice goalkicking.... seems he didn't

    Hannan did really creating the spillage

    Ok. Hannan "created" a contested ball situation. But Oliver won the loose ground ball then "created" our launch towards goal with a handball that cut through the crowd to a player (Petracca) who was able to burst away.

    Weid is really becoming the player we hoped for imo. As is Lever and Tracca.

    I said it in another thread... I hope people don’t pile on Jones. Give him a qtr or a game to find his feet.

    Bloody hell.  How can they ping Harmes for holding the ball when there have been so many of those in the quarter?  Annoys me.

    I reckon we've been slightly the better side so far.  We look excellent around the contest, we just need to hit the scoreboard a little more and clean things up on the defensive end.

    Weideman doing absolutely everything right. Except kicking in front of goal.

    Oliver’s kicking is so bad at times. 

    He seems to stuff up the short kicks a bit like brayshaw. He needs to eliminate these types of turnovers.

    Melksham looks on

    Weid doesn't 

    Weid had been good apart from goal kicking

    It’s ok. It’s Lewis Jetta going into the rooms according to the commentary. 

    Embarrassing wasn't it?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
