    Sadly it appears Liam Jurrah isn’t there. The roads have been closed which must be the reason since he loves this match every year. 😢

    I need more good news from you… not less 😭

    Great selection Joel Smith. Complete waste of space at this stage. 

    Meanwhile JVR kicking 4 and probably multiple contested marks.

    We just need to do what it takes to get this job done. Stop piddling around with too much handball.

    Never have a small at the back of the pack. Chandler is the invisible man surely can't be gifted a game next week.

    It's lazy, just hanging out there hoping it will skid to the back.

    Somethings wrong at this club. What a waste of talent.

    Maybe that’s the problem? We think we have the list to win another one.

    Our list is out of balance. We need 2-3 elite ball users off half back and in the HF area that are reasonably big bodied (ie not Salem / Bowey) and are good natural athletes.

    We are also dominating the falling over count by a mile.

    The problem again is the small forwards. Chandler, ANB, Kozzie and Melk simply can't get it done. Don't expect Brown or Smith to get many looks.

    We can hope the champion team shows up in the last...🤞🏻

    +40 disposals but only +8 effective disposals - wasteful

    We got panned for not wanting it enough last week and not going hard enough. Show them what we're made of.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
