    Melksham. Again no impact.

    Two on the trot.Ā 

    He's simply on or off and never the twain shall meet for some reason.

    Bowey had a Barry Crocker.

    Just about his worst game.

    That said, that free that was paid against him in the marking contest was a howler.Ā 

    That sort of grappling happens a 100 times a match. And when they mark it they hardly ever pay it.

    But sure, ok pay it.

    Then how do you not pay maxy, Grundy and jvr frees for being mauled all game?

    I am beyond angry with the umpiring last night. Forget tge result, but it was simply nuts hoe many cleat holding the ball frees were not paid - for both sides, but we copped it worse.

    I thought Ray in particular had a howler in the last Q...

    It's ok to let the game go in a finals type tight game (maybe).

    ...but to not pay the sling against Riv (luckily it was picked up by another ump) and JVR having his legs taken out.

    Please.....

    Agree. He and Bowey were not good. Ā When I look at the runners from half back and run and carry , both Bowey and Salem need to do much better.Ā

    People who criticise Melksham need to remember he's often playing on mutch taller opponentsĀ

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more Ā consecutive defeats.Ā

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
