There’s the dees we know and .....

If that’s what we are going to dish up this season we are in for another quality season. 
 

See what happens when we get some of our good players back but geez I ain’t holding my breath. 

 

Nothing changed. Same old Melbourne. Still my heart beats true. Why?

Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him 

Agreed back. Though most would have given Jetta another shot.

 

Haven't been able to watch any of this one.  Are there any positives at all coming out if this?  What's the score btw?


max gets man handled, held out of the contest and jumped all over. English falls over and gets a free every time

 

Need to protect MAxX

    It’s 97-61

    No real positives. Jackson looks ok. ANB been excellent. Not sure if you think that’s a positive tho. 
     

    Jones looks good.

    Why are we not running guys like Petty and Laurie and giving game time to Tmac and Jones.

    Defensively solid. Lever and May looking in good nick.

    Fritsch kicked straight.

    None of the support act putting their hand up for round 1 selection

    This is really a pissy poor effort today.

    Really depressing stuff. 

    Sad thing is this is only pre season.

    More bad than good as a big picture, but IMO the positives would be:

    - May continuing his great form.
    - Lever looking like he's about to peak.
    - ANB some good moments as a linkup player and among the goals.
    - Chandler managed to snag one. Chance for round 1 maybe.

    We'd be 100 down if not for May and Lever

    28-13. There’s no coming back from that. 

    And all the umps will get a 'well done' from HQ.

    its not the loss, or the fact that we have a few missing.. its the way we lost. Appalling footy and does nothing, absolutely nothing to suggest we are going to do what Simon Goodwin has come out and said today.

    R1 looms large.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
