when you dominate a quarter and a half and only kick 4.10 it's going to come back and bite you.

    Mcpherson a nice specky in the pack and kicks truly.  Three in a row for the Doggys now.

    Hibb with 20 disposals putting his hand up for the job on Paps this week

    Hibberd with 13 possessions in the 2nd quarter. Making a statement.

    I love Hibbo. He only knows one way. Straight through.

    For who though Chook?

    Dunstan is more likely for Harmes.  Getting a fair bit of it so far.  Needs to clean up the disposal somewhat

    Melksham. Can’t see why Jordon couldn’t replace Harmes either. Also Hibberd for McVee - going well at Casey. Schache for Max.

    Great to see several players putting their hands up and keeping pressure on the seniors.

    Jordon has been quality and  should replace Harmes.

    Hibberd had got a lot of ball sweeping but I am not convinced anymore on him defensively. McVee would be very stiff to not play round 3 being Cameron took one mark and kicked 2 goals on a night when our backs were massively under the pump.  

    Schache has not hurt his chances but interesting that JVR seems to have been preferred to relieve in the ruck behind Bell. Whether to play Schache, JVR or both is still up for grabs based on their second half output.

    Jordon completely dominating in the midfield. Direct replacement for Harmes thanks.

    Hibbo still got it. You'd think he'd come in for McVee who I actually thought battled well. Another senior head down back won't hurt.

    Schache the dominant forward so far. Has already taken 5 marks in the first half and unlucky not to have a couple of goals on board.

    Special mention to Bailey Laurie. Looks complete different player to what he was last year. Class, poise and distributing well.

    Rough end of the half losing some centre clearances and getting beat by some good efforts by the Dogs forwards.

    JJ’s been impressive with his ability to cover the ground and contested work in important contests. Whether he’s truly an inside mid just yet is another question but he’s certainly pushing for a spot and they can move wingers and find room for him. He’s kept it simple.

    Dunstan’s been Dunstan.

    Hibbo’s had some good moments, he’s certainly still a star at this level.

    Howes flashes brilliance just needs to get more playing at half back. K Turner has more work to do on his kicking than I thought previously but he’s very willing 

    Scache’s been the best of the key forwards taking marks and drawing free kicks. JVR’s best has been enticing but he’s made a few unusual errors with his kicking. Has been involved though which is good.

    I’ve really liked the game of Max Gregory aka Fake Bowey.

    Hannan having a pretty mad third term.  Him & Mcpherson bringing the Dogs back into it.

    Holding call against the Doggys in the Square sees JVR get his first to get one back

    • 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.
