It might be YOUR last comment on this. It’s not mine. I can tell you with full confidence that one of the reasons the Club is keeping Fritta’s injury details quiet is to prevent opposition players from targeting him. As I mentioned before, Clarrie told me HIMSELF that this happens. I’m inclined to believe Clarrie. Aren’t you?

Pretty sure all clubs try to keep injuries under wrap especially those that can be easily targetted in future games.

Lots of porkies are told by clubs but realistically there are no secrets in AFL.  News gets out one way or another if not to the media certainly to other clubs.  Everyone knows about Fritta's foot injury - it was mentioned in training reports and I'm sure lazy media read them.

Good players get physically targetted even if not injured.

Some of the ball movement has been sublime , praccy match or not.

Anyone else notice Petracca was slightly limping when he walked off at half time - favouring his left leg😟


2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

anb really good through the middle

Finally picked up a holding here to ANB.  Wish they'd look at the Clarry match up a bit more.  Getting held off the ball quite a bit ... no frees

That’s his gait. By now it’s like saying Neitz used to wobble as he walked 

The porta-loos down there would be like getting into a sauna on a day like this.

Biggest takeaway for me so far


Chocco being goal kicking coach this year has to be a good thing doesnt it? Hes so enthusiastic about everything he does

That would have been some goal if Clarry could have finished. He's looking sharp.

Rivers great endeavour in general but a bit scatter gun with his kicking at times.  Bit of work to do there.

Sparrow's made about three rookie errors this quarter.  That last one on the mark costing us a goal.

Clarry out of the middle there taking on everyone ahead of him lol.  Nearly came off

Oliver almost with goal of the year. 
He is a freak 

 

11 min to go in the third.

Tigers kick three in a row in about 4 mins

Tiger smalls coming into the game a little more and theyve upped the effort side

Demons 11.8. 74

Tigers 7.7 43

We’ve dropped intensity here with some silly decision making and half hearted contest. Would be nice to put it away with the breeze then slow tempo in the last

  • 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.
