Gawn - a huge loss

Viney - obviously played underdone 

Brayshaw - disposals were amateurish 

Petty - tried but failed

Oliver - many irrelevant possessions 

Petracca - involved too late 

Rivers - loose but tried

Bowey - not the worst

Lever - played with passion

Harmes - not to standard

Langdon - had little input 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely noticed 

McDonald -  had no influence 

Fritsch - was obviously underdone 

Spargo - was easily outpointed 

Grundy - tried but ineffective 

Hunter - had little influence 

Sparrow - a nothing game

Chandler - took his chances

McVee - regularly looked lost 

Melksham - probably on field

Brown - our only forward

I’m starting to worry Sparrow doesn’t have another level

Hard on Bowser, Rivers and Chandler.

Agreed. Rivers played well

I think this was was established last year.

I’d been trying to ignore it but can’t anymore

I thought Grundy was great not his fault the midfield was terrible.

Certainly worked his way into the game as the solo ruck and credit to him. Needs to build some synergy with Trac and Clarry if we’re to win the centre clearances going forward.

He’s going to earn his money this year if Gawn’s out for weeks, but he’d love having the number 1 mantle to himself.

Tomlinson - was pleasingly solid


Petty: has lost confidence 

what's going on,   two weeks in a row and i mostly agree, 

was not looking to read this thread   but it is compelling

Shrewd recruiting by us. Imagine how we'd be without Grundy now that Max is out 


@joeboy  Hunter - had little influence 

I have to disagree. Hunter played very well in my opinion. I was at the game.  He was creative and smart with very few errors. Probably one of our best 3-4 players. 22 possessions.  15 kicks. 480 metres gained. Kicked a good goal.  Hit targets.  He was prominent and had influence.

  • 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.

  • 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.
