I was sitting here thinking "didn't Higgins go to the Cats??" only to realise that was Shaun Higgins not Jack!

    Teams will quickly learn what other teams are doing and either copy or adjust. I guess practice matches are a good time to try out tactics like Geelong are doing. Good on them for thinking outside the box.

    Saw that in our game yesterday, thought it was strange how far back from the mark we were all the time, makes sense now. , means at no time we can give away a 50 if players move on a habit/reflex.

    We play Fremantle in Round 1. How did they go against WCE today?

    47 point winners(107-60) I just read. Fyfe dominated in the middle in the first half then was rested after the main break and Walters kicked 4.2 playing predominantly forward.

    Unfortunately Dom Tyson was quiet bad. His ball use has gotten far worse. Really feel for the lad as he was a favourite of mine. But he'll be lucky to string 10 games this year.

    Really sad how much he's diminished over the last few years.

    GWS in their terrible years.

    Demons in some terrible years.

    North in some terrible years.

    Not really the sort of career he would have been hoping for.

    Yes, but he did have one really good year with us in his first season, 2014 when we all thought he was going to become a champion for the club.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      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.
