Better 2nd half of qtr.  from the view from the game, it’s been a game of almost, often just out of touch.

Kelly and eagles around packs are doing well.  Their plan seems to be slow us down around packs to stop our quick breaks. 

Edited by darkhorse72

Not at our best but credit to the Eagles for turning up and applying the pressure

Grundy Fritsch TMac Lever doing well. McVee and Chandler having off days. JVR hitting packs and creating contests

The 4 points are safe but would like to see tidier ball use in the second half

    Mindset still not where it should be.  This is the type of game we should just fire up and kill.  But no.... Our mindset is way off.

    Free kick count is 9-9. But it’s the ones they don’t pay that frustrates me.

    Whats the point of having the 4th umpire if they still refuse to pay the bleeding obvious?

    Thank you. It's the incorrect disposal by wc that sucks.

    Fair dinkum, the biased umpiring in the West Coast games should come under investigation. Of course nothing will happen with the protected species they are. Makes watching so hard. 

    Umpire No. 6 seems to be the problem.

    We are not switched on. How many times have we kicked it to a West Coast player.

    Disclaimer: Positive Police leave thread now, Melbourne are in front but people are negative. We get it.

    We're ticking along, doing just enough. Been clinical up forward which is good. Skills have been off though wit a tonne of wormburner kicks through the middle. Need to clean that up. 

    We did work our way back into it with more uncontested ball 123 - 114 but the worry is the turnovers West Coast are getting in dangerous areas where but haven't been able to convert. The Eagles should probably be 2 goals down at worst right now. 

    Win contested ball, be clean, no need to Hollywood around with it and just put it in the right place and kick some goals.

    More like a 2022 performance so far. Fritsch has a [censored] laser boot and has been the difference between the two sides.

    We're playing so terribly we're almost double their score.  Cheer up, little Demonlanders.

    It's OK but I think bbb is a much stronger mark.

    Trac has 2 contested possesions, no tackles and 1 clearance so far. Needs to lift.

    Fritata is a world class player

    JVR relentless competitor

    Viney doing the tough work in the middle

    Not much more positives so far

    100% Eagles are crowding the contest and putting on the pressure in numbers. 
    It's making it difficult to break out of the back half unless we switch the ball. 

    I think the players you mentioned + Trac will have a better second half. 

    Someone to clamp Hunt, he's been left completely alone all game

    God, there's a name I was happy to forget🤮

    The Eagles are cracking in and taking it on. Nothing wrong with our effort but our focus and attention to details is lacking. Would prefer us to simplify and stop the Hollywood handballs.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
