If Weideman kicks a bag tomorrow he has to be an automatic replacement for Petty.

And where would you play him,half back?

    Max needs a bit of a rev up I reckon. Hope the boys get around him and get him going. 

    Maxy definitely struggling again. He’s actually tapping to Swans mids!!!

    If we open up the forward 50 for BBB we will win by 6 goals plus

    Leave him one out with the forward flankers streaming towards goal for a crumb 

    their backline is strong on the ground and in the contest - we need to clear it out!

    Im sorry but 9 times as many centre clearances is an absolute disgrace.

    Swans tackle count much higher too.

    Come on Lever.. Rivers.. especially Hunt and Gus.get going for goodness sake.

    Jackson shut down as is Fritta.

    Goodsy needs to give them a serve re pressure.

    Congrats Oliver...Spargo...Tmac... bbb...Max... May and Langdon.

    But please make our tackles harder.

    McDonald (back) + Wiedeman > McDonald forward + Petty

    Petty isn't the future. He's not an AFL standard defender, no way known.

    Should be 4 goals up. We kicked well early but missed 2 soda set shots there and Tracc needs to nail those snaps if he is to be elite. Hopefully second half we get our goal kicking accuracy right.

    Harmes has justified his selection

    Pre-bandage Harmes was horrible. Poor decisions.

    Post-bandage Harmes better. Perhaps the head bandage changed his mindset?

    Bit in that.

    Enjoyed the games of Harmes and Jordon so far. Harmes has justified his selection and Jordon continues to improve. 

    Benny Brown looks more of an aerial threat today compared to last week.

    Dees by 30.

    Once Harmes stopped trying to break every tackle he got better.

    Jordon has been good, the cleanness of ball use will come with games and belief he has that few moments to compose before distribution.

    Kicking efficiency at only 50 percent that quarter. Clean that up and we'll get somewhere.

    Love you Max but your goal kicking stinks big time. U 2 trac.

    Kozzie was in space with no one on him coming from behind on his right side.  No one within cooee...just off the bench maybe.

    Doesn't usually happen unless 50 out or more but with Maxy on a pretty severe angle (for him) they might wanna consider dishing off to a better kick like Kozzie on the run in this situation.  Has to be a better percentage chance surely 

    ANB doing some nice things, Melk, loved that 1st goal when heat was on, Tmac work down the ground was key, he can go back but then the 1st goal was clutch. Lever jumping up and down with frustration was funny. So many moments in this game be still my beating heart. God bless Langdon. Benny doing exactly what we wanted. So many more comments for the end of game.

    Also kudos/ hat tip to Longmire - he is scaring the crap out of me, Syd winning clearances, stalled our intercept marking and has numbers at the ball. That said how good are the Dee's didn't drop their bundle - thanks Goodwin!

    Imagine not looking that good as a 21 year old, 12 game key defender. 

    There is 0% chance they drop him now. Show him some belief. He will deliver in the back half of the year.

    Gosh Petty looks very shaky. Needs to significantly build up his strength. 

    Thought Harmes has been ok to good. Max a bit quiet again, though came into it a bit more during the second.

    Quite a few have the fumbles.........calm down and play simple footy.

    Petty’s having an absolute shocker. He started poorly but improved in the Hawthorn game so let’s see what the second half brings. 

    Should be 4 goals up after the dominance we had for the first 15 minutes of that quarter. 

    If the ground is as greasy as the aisles here, I’m not surprised the kicking efficiency is down. Few slipping as well.

     

    Fritta has to get his [censored] together. He’s all over the shop. 
    Clearances. Clearances. Clearances. It’s the only way to get Sydney to stop riding our arses

    • 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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
