Demons up by 2 points after a Tmac behind from the far half forward line.

Happy with what I've seen so far. It's a hot day in the sun but the boys are working hard, look fit and hungry.

Field kicking has been impressive. Goal kicking not so much. 

 

Kozzy on the siren!!! TMac provides the contest and Pickett picks up the crumbs!

Set shot goal kicking 😱

This is why we are cactus without Fritta

 

Few too many 40 out chances when you’d want them inside 30 but we’re getting decent enough shots.

our game plan just isn’t tear it up free running footy. It’s controlled kicking and burst from congestion runner 

But a rivers kick to Chandler that set up a scoring shot was indicative of a willingness to attack more.

It’s really windy here. 

Is the wind favoring one end more?

Early thoughts

- Hunter looks a player. Had about 8 touches (all constructive) and a goal.

- Oliver and Petracca: Business at usual.

- TMac imposing early.

- Gawn started in the ruck before Grundy came on about 10 minutes in. Gawn then took the final 5 or so minutes.

- McVee had a couple of nice moments.

Early returns on Pickett mid and Rivers having a rotation are both promising without being spectacular.

ANB also took a wing rotation that I assumed might be Spargo or Harmes

Langdon haircut?

Yep. Harder to make out on the far wing now. Got the buzz cut a few months ago. Doesn't look like he is planning on growing it back. 

Any indication that Gawn or Grundy will contribute when not rucking, or should we get used to seeing one of them on the bench all day?

One of our better first sixths. 

8ths


Grundy, Pickett, Viney and Sparrow at centre bounce. ANB takes Hunters place on members wing.

Goal to petracca. So quick.

Edit: might be Hunter on the far wing. Hard to tell him and Langdon apart from distance with Lingers haircut.

This chick commentating is way better than underwood 

Jess Webster, yep.

Seems to have just the right tone for the occasion. Pleased to be there, keeping the conversation going during slow patches without sending it off the rails, lifting the energy a bit for good passages of play but not going over the top.

I guess the short summary is she seems like someone it'd be good to watch the football with.

Would need to take a LOT of unidentified white powder before becoming unhinged enough to commentate a friday night game, though.

Melbourne kick an early one in the second as Gawn crashes the pack, allowing Trac to walk into goal

 

Bowey with a lovely defensive mark.

Kozzy doing it all over the ground at the moment

  • 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.

    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.
