Iā€™m wrapped we won and great to see Rivers & Kossi give a lot!

But can we stop doing stupid things! Kick out strategy, not selecting Lockhart to pick up opposing small forward! Weideman down, so why not move him for 10 minutes!

We have some top players, Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, May, Langdon and I think Viney is a fun if used the right way, so there is potential, but. Coaching has to improve

    Only in hindsight.

    Brown was poor against Swans

    Disagree with both of these comments bing.

    It was a simply ridiculous decision to drop him for preuss. The fact that was wet justĀ amplified the stupidity of that decision.

    Not just becuase preuss is not a forward and is slow as wet weekĀ but alps becuase Pruess barely left inside 50 and brown gets on his bike and provides options and cover.

    ThatĀ decision was big factor in our inability to stop them crossing and not being able to stop their chains of uncontested possessions.Ā 

    mind melting decision.Ā

    So, tell me again, why did Melbourne have to play in Cairns the last two weeks? The Gabba is our ground!

    It was a nice win against a side with some class, but don't forget that they are a side that dropped their skipper and made 8 changes.Ā  Some young players showed promise.

    I look forward to next week and the bradbury plan continuing

    Proud of the composure showed by the boys in the last 3 minutes. Better than what was going on in our lounge room.

    And that 50m penalty for their first goal was a [censored] joke

    I've said this in another thread, but I don't think Weid has played poorly at all, before tonight.

    Tonight I felt he was outpositioned and unable to work his way into the contest.

    However, we will go nowhere as a club without consistency forward of centre, and we can't rely on any two of Brown, Jackson and Weideman to do it. Weideman's got runs on the board and although he was poor tonight, he goes nowhere for mine.

    Yes for the wanting us to lose, but no for the selection comment.

    Tonight showed why the likes of Melksham andĀ ANB should not be in the team. Its infuriating Melksham continues to get a game with zero defensive pressure all year. Not only that, he gives up goals through stupidity and lack of discipline.Ā 

    I'll cop the losing comment. Won't cop we continue to gift Melksham a game week in, week out.

    I owe Oskar Baker an apology. He was really good tonight.

    Two superb snaps from both sides of his body.

    I recall being in Palm CoveĀ when we drafted Rivers and I started yelling in excitement, as he was the one I wanted for our last pick. People were staring at me.Ā 
    I think I then asked you if you knew much about him as a kid, not about his footy. I said at the time that he could be the best ofĀ the 3 we got and pushed him on DL from that moment on. Yes he could be the best ofĀ the 3 and I am thrilled for him and the great game he played tonight. Pickett played his best game for us too and could have kicked 4.

    Yes great pick up, mate of mine works in development at East Freo, rates him highly

    I'm talking solely about the losing comment Dazzle, all good re issues with selection. I actually don't mind ANB he applies pressure and prevents opposition just waltzing out

    [Censored] me.

    Preuss lays one tackle (after which he tried to kick a goal he had no ability to kick and missed entirely) and gets credit.

    What is it about Demonland and Preuss?Ā 

    Ā 
    Someone gave him sheet for being lumbering and slow.
    I pointed out he was quick enough to catch the bloke who also thought he was lumbering and slow.
    Credit where it was due.
    Never said he was a star and I'm certainly not on the selection committee.
    If I was, Jones would have retired 2years ago and Rivers would have had much more game time this year than he has.

    Fork me alright.

    We cannot simply throw an 18 year in one of the most crucial game of the year straight into the side on the back of a 5 week lay off.

    Stick with Weideman,Ā  he just needs to learn how to get himself out from this rut. Dropping him won't fix that. This is all part of his development into a good power forward.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturdayā€™s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach inĀ Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but Iā€™ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demonsā€™ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).Ā

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneā€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Ā As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationā€™s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.Ā

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
