I've been really disappointed in our younger players. None of them look up to it unfortunately. Who picks these blokes ?

 

Spargo would struggle to get a kick at vfl

The young kids look like....um young kids. Not everyone is Clayton Oliver in their first 10 games.

    Unless I read it wrong, Kozzie played this morning in the middle mainly, and didnt get much of a touch.

    But looked promising, dangerous,  threatening etc etc. Same old

    Has made a few blues, but he is yet to debut at AFL level and he is improving as the game goes on.

    He is also up against arguably the best midfield in the AFL.

    Simpleton comment.  

    He looks no where near it

    Tmac, 3 disposals, 1 of those a turn over resulting in a goal (and a 2nd almost the same).  Bloke is still cooked.

    Needs to be one out at Full Forward

    Leading possessions for us at half time 

    Never would have guessed, he hasn’t been anywhere near influencing the game.  

    Major differences in the way way we are playing the game compared to how we played against Doggies last year.   We are being bold from the Kick ins, often going long to around middle of the ground.  We are not getting sucked into contests like bees to a honey pot, we are holding our space and not giving them easy options. ANd we are without quite a few of our best players.  We are going to tear them apart this half with a fitter and disciplined young Melbourne team. Go Demons 100+points for the game!!

    It’s had to know what to make of this game. We lack our trademark intensity at the coalface, which is rectified by adding Viney and Oliver, and are lacking some class ball use and control - Salem. Im

    I am disappointed about the lack of forwards available. It’s been a glaring problem for 2 years and it’s the thing we need this time of year to work on the most.

    He was carried all last year. As was T MacDonald.


    More [censored] umpiring.

    Umpiring very ordinary.

    How is that a free kick for English but not for May? ?

    You know the answer.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
