Feels so good to have full length quarters again.

    We still bomb,bomb,bomb into the forwardline indiscriminately!

    Baker amongst it. Looked comfortable.

    Amen.

    Jetta any issues on his hit on Tom Lynch? Lynch sooked it up big time. And Jetta played well that quarter.


    Promising signs from TMac. Lever's disposal hopefully rusty. 

    Forward pressure not good enough to stop their run out of defence. 

    Although we lead they looked more threatening when they went forward.

    Spargo promising.

    Lynch is an expert, bit of a worry.

    Reprimand I would think due to low impact and being in a contest (so not intentional). Lynch deserved it

    It is hard not to dislike Lynch.

    So I won't bother trying not to.

    He [censored] me to tears.

    Any idea why Riewoldt’s taken 2 marks on Jetta?

    T Macs taken 3 contested marks.

    Jones still knows how to kick a snag for our first.

    Death, Taxes, Gravity, Jetta always on a much bigger opponent (leads to him being crunched and carrying injuries for the majoirty of the season).

    Great to see TMac more mobile and his great hands.

    still not great with our forward entries but good effort around the the field. Baker and James Jordan showing a bit.

    Go Dees

    Good quarter. Lever, Baker and Petracca playing well. Good to see Oliver playing

    Surely any contact on that grub must be deemed as low

    Hit on Tom Lynch? Are you talking about where Jetta brought him to ground late in the qtr? That was barely a free, Lynch sooked it up at the umps as usual. Nothing in it. Lynch is a weapons-grade *log

    Can't see any significant signs of change regarding all ball use going forward.

    Our pressure has been fantastic which is nothing new aside from our lapses during some games.

    But all I want to see in these pre-season games is some genuine change in the way we move the ball.

     

    Edited by JimmyGadson

    Early thoughts:

    1) It looks like Goody has finally figured out there is no need to rush in new players just because they look good at training - Jones and Jetta get games, while our third year men - Jordan, Sparrow, Chandler and Baker all get game time ahead of younger rivals.

    2) Lever strong in air, Spargo vision, Trac brilliance, Baker and Langdon tackling.

    3) It seems when Tiger bigs get free kick or mark in middle of ground we will sag off and ignore manning mark - thereby forcing their bigs to make right attacking decision.

    just one quarter though

    There were at least 2 instances in that quarter where we didn't man the mark. The first was just outside 50 and resulted in a shot on goal. Bit of a concern

    Why is Jetta always against someone a foot taller?

    Probably because we have a $700K a season CHB who won't play on a man.


    The siren at Casey Fields sounds like Gus the steam shovel from Mr Squiggle.

    Spargo might not be able to roost it 60m, but his kicks are flat and get where they are going nice and quick.

     

    The classic 4 up in the marking contest. It’ll work this year you’ll see.

    gawn's kick from d50 straight into the 'hot spot' at the top of the 50 was laughably bad

    tigers still look a mile better but at least are only a couple of points up

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
