Choco Williams needs to get stuck into the kicking training again. Our accuracy has been horrible the last 5 matches and is basically the difference now.

    Jesus, you'd think GWS would think they're a legit chance.

    Isn’t every one just thrilled that we gave up a home game to travel interstate?

    Geelong got momentum from their crowd and played to their strengths at home. We gave this game up.

    I absolutely hate it. Melbourne homes games at the G only. If we want to be taken seriously start acting that way.

    We aren’t dropping our best forward from tonight, Champ.

    In: Brown, Bowey, Tomlinson, Oliver (worth a punt), Harmes (sub)

    Out: Chandler, Spargo, Jordon, Petty

    Whatever we do, can we actually have a tactical sub that can impact the game with some power. Harmes (who I'm not a massive fan of) would've been a better choice tonight given the conditions.

    Smith sucks people in, he's a flashy play or two a game, but can't play footy

    Re Joel Smith-I wasn't sucked in AD. I saw the excellent work he did in the first half with his marks, contesting, knocking on, handballs when the rest of the. team was struggling. He actually showed leadership with his efforts. He was quieter in the second half but one of our better players overall who contested hard all night and was effective. In my view he is a very important player for us.

    We can bring it back to Melbourne but it will end up at Marvel. We won't get another game at the G

    Yeh not a fan of a small forward being the sub.

    Angus, Lingers, Kozzy all had bad games and have been off their best, lingers in particular for a while. 

    So tired of us picking blokes on reputation over an actual performance given to the coaches, dropping Tomlinson has proved to be an absolute shocker as most of us thought it was. For Petty to stroll back in and serve that up was horrendous.

    Fine by me. There will be 25,000 Melbourne supporters there, who can give our boys some momentum and belief.

    They aren’t getting that playing in front of 5,000 impartial footy fans in Port and Adelaide jumpers in Alice.

    Hopefully Brown has a good run for Casey this week. Would like to see him back in asap, would help the small forwards as well.

    He has to be dropped. Absolutely a liability. May pressure well but useless when has the ball.

    Tomlinson back into defense. Petty forward. 

    JJ out.  Bowey in. 

    Spargo not the sub. 

    Hibbo to play on Greene. 

    Do we need to give Gawn a week off? He seems cooked.

    I assume Clarry won’t play. Obviously if fit he is in for literally anyone that isn’t Viney as I would kill for another player with clean ball handling skills in the contest.

    Not sure who goes in and out as we never make a lot of changes.

    I'd look to bring Oliver and Bowey in. Would like a proper key forward in as well, Brown being the most likely candidate but not sure how likely that would be.

    Jordon, Spargo and Chandler all in danger of being dropped while Hibberd may need further resting and Petty looks underdone.

    Will probably end up being Oliver in, Jordon out.

    Brown in and forward, Petty back to Casey to be replaced by Tomlinson (should never have been dropped in the first place).

    Brown needs to prove himself at Casey. He’s banged up and immobile. He doesn’t solve our issues IMO. 

    TMac is who we desperately miss. A tall who can play higher up and take contested marks. We’ve looked awful up forward ever since he stuffed his foot in 2022. 

    This is a role Petty can play well and it’s what they tried to get Smith to do.

    Fine theory, but this game would be played at Docklands not the G, and would cost the club $500k and mean we needed to find a new sponsor rather than the NT govt

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
