Agree.

I like Weid. But just not up to it. Has no presence

    Any chance with 50 seconds left and a throw in on the half back flank, a forward or two would go down back to help defend?

    How someone 197cm tall and 97kg has zero presence is beyond me. It wouldn’t matter if he was 297cm and 197kg, he simply has no desire for the contest.

    BT and Brayshaw spent 5 minutes crapping on about Jackson leaving and what the trade looks like. Such poor commentary. No analysis of the game whatsoever. I am not surprised. 

    Also showing replays and missing a minute of the game. Atrocious.

    BT says we’ll done. I say he got [censored] lucky. A miss kick went to a team mate then the ugly punt luckily bounced in to goal, could’ve easily have gone the other way. 

    BT is an [censored]  that's why they usually have Daisy to correct him

    Just randomly naming Freo players as trades. Just STFU already and call the game.

    Really? Jack Viney has delivered one of the great halves of footy you’ll ever see, the effort across the team has been selfless and intense in hostile territory, and all anyone wants to do is pot Weed?

    This place is better than that isn’t it?

    Watching Jackson think he could run and bounce on wet turf I decided he's even more stupid than he is ugly.

    Meanwhile Melksham is showing Labd what Goody is smarter than a lot of you guys

    Same amount of disposals as Lobb, but has had more tackles.

    Might not be a night for the key forwards.

    Nev, Weideman hasn't even had a kick or handball the whole half. Lobb has actually touched it 4 times and has had a contested mark.

    There is no justifying Weideman's performance tonight, this is as poor as it gets unfortunately.

    Probably not if analysis of Melksham is any guide. 

    Is Weid actually playing tonight?

    This is the real test now. The dogs flicked the switch last week and we couldn’t respond. We have to maintain this lead! C’mon Boys!

    Lobb has had 4 touches... Weid has had none.

    No touches and 2 tackles.

    The evidence is in. End the experiment.

    He will not make it.

    Heck, I wouldn’t mind if he had no touches if he threw his body around. Physicality Weid.

    Yeah just realized I looked at the wrong number there.

    Has been poor, but find it pretty [censored] even by Demonland standards that that's what people are focusing on.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • 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.
