Surely they can bring Brad Green on a casual basis down to the club to teach our forward to kick goals. He was the best goal kicker I’ve seen in my life. Natural, relaxed, could nail them from everywhere. We need some of that.

    5.2 to 2 behinds - great quarter Dees.  Can we be ruthless and really put them to the sword in the 2nd half?

    We look so much better when Oliver is kicking the footy

    Petracca is elite

    Is Shiel playing?

    Oliver has been awsome today.  Played a very important hand in a number of goals.

    Honestly they are rubbish Essendon and don't want it, split them open don't even leave the door ajar.

    I'd give Mitch Brown another contract in a heartbeat if I had to make the decision.

    Surprisingly intelligent footballer.

    Great quarter apart from Fritta's conversion. Salem playing best game of year. Vanders terrific. Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Langdon doing great.

    Apart from the obvious good players I think Brown has been effective. Melksham can pi$$ off - can’t even lay a simple tackle.

    Melksham still getting a game is a joke. Who has this much time to get back into form? And they just move him around the field to stink it up. 
    Harmes has been rotting at half back and they dropped him. Melksham does nothing for 15 weeks so gets a prime midfield spot to ball watch and enjoy one handed tackles.

    We look great today.

    Dry conditions suit our style of play.

    Bummer those two losses against Freo and Swans We’re in pouring rain and howling winds.

    Much better 2nd quarter. Oliver kicking the ball now and is 100% efficient, viney not trying to take tacklers on and just getting rid of it, fritta kicked a goal and our backline going ok.

    Mitch Brown looks good leading up

    Langdon tackles, player drops the ball - incorrect disposal - free kick?  Noooooo. [censored] off umpires.

    I think the umpires threw that rule out mid season, it’s inexplicable, but it is the AFL!

    Mitch Brown 13 possessions and 7 marks..  this guy should have been in the team all season, especially ahead of T Mac.

    Definitely should have been played earlier

    Perhaps Petracca could teach them?

     

    Mitch Brown just makes us better. His lead up work has been fantastic. Give him another contract Goody.

    Was worth comming down to Carrara today, just to listen to the Bummers fans around me paying out and eating their own that quarter.  May it continue for another two decades.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
