I think he definitely improved as the game went on but I honestly thought May was not having a great night particularly early

news.com's take: 

He’s astounded’: Demons star snubs teammate in ugly moment

Hilarious article, particularly read with the knowledge of how the game played out 9whcih the article doesn't reference - it must have been written and posted almost immediately after the incident

 

Haha yeah the 'that's not a premiership side' stuff is over the top, but I do agree with the 'that's not Dees footy' comments. It will get wallpapered over because of how we won in the end, but I thought it was horrendous from Fritsch, and not the first time for him this year.

100% agree. And it was 'un Melbourne'. Worried me at the time, in terms of our attitude.

Brown burnt, I think nibbler, really badly later in the game at the punt road end.

Easy handball to a player in oodles of space for a certain goal, and instead he tries an off balanced snap on his non-preferred - and missed.

Yep, and Fritsch did it again in the third when he tried to dribble a goal from the boundary instead of centring it.

Fritsch, Brown and (not last night) Trac all have a selfish tendency around goals that they haven't seemed to be able to stamp out.

Yep, good call.

There was touch of Hollywood about hat effort as well

Whilst I think the commentators were over the top, there were missed goal opportunities that could have been costly in a close game.  
 

Hope they learn from those ‘mis takes’.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
