    FFS, let's just forfeit the season, regroup and recruit a frigging KPF.

    Isn’t everyone thrilled that we sell this game so that 800 people can see it in Alice Springs?

    It sucks.

    Another game where we are simply not making the most of our plentiful opportunities. So infuriating. 
    Petracca with simple goal kicking just letting us down time and time again. For such a talented player, it’s inexplicable.

    9 years in the system and sometimes it feels he is getting worse, really a shame.

    From most accurate team to least accurate team. It’s become a problem now and is costing us games. Need to bloody convert lads!

    Didn’t like Grundy stopping and appealing for a free when the ball was right there

    Was very poor.

    If Trac can’t convert then he should be kept away from the forward line, not spend more time there haha

    He’s just a bit awkward with everything he does, rarely takes the ball cleanly and takes too long to be able to dispose of the ball.

    She just said she’s not sure. Seems it must be bad because he didn’t want to talk much. She’ll update me and I’ll pass on whatever she tells me. 

    You would think Petracca would learn that dropping the footy from shoulder height will lead to inaccurate kicking. We teach the under 10s a low ball drop so I dunno how he has missed the message?!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
