    I think you are right about the ball bouncing out of JVR's hands when marking, though I don't think it is the positioning. Hands are too stiff, no give when the ball is there. He has buckets for hands and I can see him developing those grabs, which he can take (training observations). Could be related to "not being loose as a goose" when playing. Give him some time, a few great games and he may be able to show us something. At least he is bringing it down for the front and centres, which appears to be be the instructions.  

    Thank you for your answer in an intelligent way unlike some, what I mean is if you have your hands, I hope I can explain it right, they have their wrist cocked back but their hands are in a position catching a cricket ball so when the ball comes in it is hitting the palms of their hands, that it what I mean about position of the hands which causes that stiffness when the ball hits,  so on that point you are right, I think JVR has the ability to play at this level and he needs to play at a higher level for a long period.

    I think BDA said the phrase the other day and it stuck in my mind ever since!

    While Bompt plays for the Bulldogs they'll always be a Premiership threat.  He is a champ for sure.

    I assumed you meant uneven placement of the hands, so the ball hits them at different times.

    I understand your description, and will look more closely at JVR's method next time.

    Any weekends a good weekend when Geelong get done but at least we could go ahead of Sydney on the ladder if Geelong win, which the should given Sydney’s injuries list.

    We weren't treated respectfully in that deal and was upsetting.

    But seeing last night's game , and Luke's inputs, I now have moved on and am sympathetic to him, knowing that last night he saw his future.

    Its a shame really because inside an elite club/team (us) he would thrive (cue 2021) and money can't buy that feeling.

    Just hope he's happy and content in other ways.

    So both us and the Dogs cop the Perth-Adelaide double on a 6 day break.

    One side comes out hungry, focused and wasn’t coming home without the 4 points. The other looked as flat as a pancake.

    I was surprised when they flew all the way back to Melb after the Eagles game. Logic demanded they fly to  Adelaide on Monday morning set up camp and have a relaxing week with no more travel..Stupid decision to fly back and fly out again. If Bulldogs flew from ADL after r5 straight to Perth theyre smarter than we are.

    Thats embarrassing.

    We will find out on Monday if we're an elite team. Elite teams dont play like we have recently and will overwhelm the wounded tigers.

    Lose and we're back with the pack.

    Apparently our players wanted to be back home to family. They even took the red eye flight... 🤦🏻‍♂️

    And they served up garbage, so I’m sure they’ve been reminded of that all week.

    And add in the fact most of the players clearly have no issues with hubbing, per the 2021 finals series.

    I think we clearly missed a trick and the Dogs were smart in reducing their hectic travel schedule as they had a couple of days in Adelaide post game and then flew to Perth at their leisure. Smart.

    The Dogs were physically and mentally on. We were physically and mentally off.

    GO…….!!!

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
