    Thought May was actually decent. Shut down Elliot in the first half but then went on Mihocek and I think he kicked one on him. The other goals were on Petty.

    Petty was poor, although Darcy Cameron was gifted two of them by the umpire.

    I'll preface this by saying I like petty but he was destroyed yesterday.

    Can mark pretty well but his decision making on when to mark and when to spoil is not yet there. Too often gets bodied out of the contest.

    And when he gets the ball in a close situation his first thought is to grab the ball tight and fall to the ground, I guess attempting to force a stoppage.

    I find it hard to know whether this is being coached into him or whether he is nervous about his place in the side or if he genuinely doesn't have an attacking mode.

    He's young and the jury is still out but I would like to see more progress from him soon.

    May didn't play on Elliott in the first half. He was on Cameron. 

    Hibberd was on Elliott. 

    May would never play on Elliott.

    Oliver poor kicking.

    When the game was in the balance, quarters 1 and 4 he didn't lay a single tackle and had 7 possessions for those 2 quarters combined. hopeless.

    I'd like to see Petty having a couple of runs as a forward instead of 'you know who'. Some specialist coaching and experience might be very handy. There is quite a deal of skills and intellect in the forward's role, and perhaps, he might display these to good effect.

    My parallel observer of the TV coverage of the game counted 10 hits to Oliver's head (most from behind as haymakers) before half time so I guess the effects were quietly carried across the rest of the game. As we know, Max  gets his unfair share of these head and neck clouts each match despite the failing, oblivious eyes/decision-making of the snot goblins.

    Gawn and Oliver are repeatedly assaulted during matches.

    May would never play on Elliott. 

    May was definitely standing Elliott when he was in front of us at the Randwick end. It was an obvious mismatch of size but Elliott was not able to use any speed advantage so it worked but May dropped a couple and fumbled uncharacteristically.

    He did take the first grab in the mark thar Cameron was paid but he was not directly standing him. Elliott certainly got away from him in Third quarter.He stood Mihohek a few times. Our defence did seem to hold positions while Pies forwards rotated. The subsequent confusion created was responsible for the looseness that led to goals. But the defence did not lse the game. Our forwards lost it and their defence won it through better marking and distribution.

    TMac - was fully dilated

    Sparrow - caught too often

    Petty - shades of OMac

    Weed - over and out

    JJ - a consistent performer

    Kozzie - doesn’t do enough 

    Goodwin - a wakeup call

    Chook Fowler - seriously peed off

    Need to play Petty Foward or he will turn into OMac

    I'd love Petty forward instead of Weideman. Petty has showed promise in his 1 game trialled as a forward.

    The accuracy and speed of delivery to their forwards by the pies was par excellence and our defenders were limited in stopping them.

    Was a great performance and I hope we took notice. Our mids blew it as much as our forward line did imho.

    The [censored] who stuffed the May hands on the mark, paid htb against Sparrow who had kicked it away and a deliberate when it was hand balled to a Demon as well as the no htb on Blicavs which cost the lions the game. He is hopeless. Will probably get the GF.

    And who will take his rôle until Tomlinson returns to defence?  Majak?

    But SHocking and Gil tell us repeatedly that  the head is sacrosanct, and if course Christian does too (when the commentators highlight it) ?

    AFL should be hammered for letting this happen:

    - Mummy & Nankervis thugs, opponent beats me oh I’ll hit him in the head

    - if DeGoey got sent off for a quarter would have a better effect (replay should be used on this type of crap)

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
