J.Smith, no follow up to his good 2nd quarter. Fell out the game as his opponent tightened up on him.

Harmes doing well.

    Agree, Melksham is outstanding at this level which is where he should stay.

    Far far too good for VFL but not quite constant enough for AFL. But when Melksham is on he is on.

    McDonald has got better as the game has gone on as well.

    Melksham doesn’t impact enough at AFL. He’s a good sub but he isn’t a 4 quarter player.

    Could have fooled Carlton last year.

    I saw a clip of Melksham’s goal where he kicked it up to himself. McDonald looked like he could barely walk, let alone run. 

    Has he improved since then or is he injured?

    Melksham 5 sausage rolls has been superb. 

    Geez for all the bagging of TMac ive see nhim take about 5 marks second half, kick a 2nd goal and helped set up others. Some here just love to bag our own. 

    Turner has been excellent down back. 

    Brown looks proppy and not quite right to me.

    as the sub he replaces Harmes

    If Petty doesn't return he takes Schache's spot in the 22

    We’d be far too short if we replace Schache with Melksham. Leaves JVR as our only tall forward.

    Melksham’s VFL form is good but his recent AFL form has been poor. Sub only IMO.

    I agree. He was crucial in the last 2 minutes of that game. The problem is he's not consistent and does not exhibit the selflessness we're trying to communicate to the rest of the team.

    I'm not bagging him in general. He's a strong mark, presents well and works hard up the ground. But he's slow, tries to unsuccessfully break tackles all the time, and makes skill errors that an AFL player shouldn't make. He should look at a player like Mitch White who is very limited but only tries to do what he's capable of.

    I agree with you about Turner. He to me was the obvious standout from an AFL perspective. Despite very poor Casey midfield pressure on Box Hill's running players he stood up superbly.

    Melksham main issue is that he doesn't apply enough pressure to disrupt opposition transition out of our FWD 50

    Yep - I remember a game vs Richmond back in 2019 (ugggh) where they beat us comfortably, but Melky kicked 4 - brought the Harlem Globetrotters that day - very strong. Wish he could be more consistent - from game to game, and within games. Let’s be honest, he’s got game!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
