Too many passengers today. We need a big big lift from Jones, Melksham, Viney (looks hurt in that last contest), JJ, ANB and Brown. You can’t have this many players doing SFA when Hawthorn are all over us like a rash.

    technically it was Hibberd for May, and Fritsch for Petty.

    I don’t think so. It was Hibberd for Jetta, Petty for May and Brown for Frisch.

    We are playing poorly. What can you say apart from praising our max and lever and kozzie.

    Mids look slow and i dont know who will kick our goals.

    Out of context.......they are just numbers. 
    All were there. Many other numbers should’ve been added though

    Those calling for Petty’s inclusion might not be so bullish about him now.  Very ordinary so far.

    He is not so accomplished in defence IMHO.  Much better as a medium tall mobile forward.  However, with so many tall forwards in the waiting i can't see the FD rolling this die anytime soon so we will be left to die wondering this season me thinks.

    If we could take our chances in front of goal we'd  be 5 goals up. Just tidy this up and the 4pts are ours

    Gotta lift, simple as that.

    like to see jackson take a mark

    2 marks. Uncontested. About 15 contested attempts.  He took 2 beauty’s versus Freo and not really any contested marks since. Gets to the contest but needs to grab a few more.

    Too many passengers today. Max, Kozzie and Lever the only players on their game. We need more from Oliver, Trac, Viney and Tmac. Ground ball work is sub-par. Not locking the ball into our I50. Come on Spargs and Nibbler.

    Jones looks like an old man today. Pains me to say it.

    The coaches will earn their wages at half-time. the Hawks will re-group and come out firing again.

    A nerve shredder coming up folks

    Salem ?

    Ive been saying this for a few weeks.  Needs to lose the Hollywood and just knuckle down.  Neither him or Viney are very good at threading the needle to hit up targets inside 50.  Just hit the hot zone quickly or shoot at goal if within range and put pressure on the opp either just outside the square or on the scoreboard pls.

    Missing May, back line looks ... random. As for forward line, less said the better.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
