Gee it helps to win a clearance.

Well done Smith.

Pay attention Tmac.

Watch it again and just before the ball comes in Tmac gets body on Weitering and prevents him getting to the contest

 

It's not the umpires' fault we are behind. It's our wayward forward line yet again. In an arm wrestle, the winner is always the side that converts its chances.

Same strengths and same weaknesses on show. Bombing it to no one. Tmac can’t get off the ground at all. Well done Joel smith. Only for him we’d be in all sorts.

no composure, trac the main offender. Struggling to move the ball.

but we’re still in it. Hoping our superior fitness can see us home.

come on dees. 

 

Let's face it..as mecurial as his skills are Kossi is an [censored]. 

Pickett [censored] the bed again in a big game. Why am I not surprised?


At this point I'd sun Schache out midway through the third for McDonald.

Yep been saying that for ages. His hack kicks are meaningless 

Are we talking about Petracca?

Has been a liability so far. Hopefully he can light up the second half.

Get TMac off and try Schache. Can’t be worse.

Won't be better. I can guarantee. There's a reason he isn't on at the start when the heat is on. Soft as half-melted butter.

I cannot believe what I saw that quarter. Never have I see such a blatant attempt to get a team back into it than that.

I really don’t understand the rules of footy anymore. That was incomprehensible.

Yes, TMac needs to retire. respectfully

We're at 57% efficiency going forward. Our issue tonight is actually giving away territory on the flanks.

Didn't see Spargo that quarter.

Jordan ain't no Gus.

Fire up Fritta.

Anb too.

Chandler and Kozzie ain't that much at all. 

Smith a Lone hand fwd.

Tmac see ya later. Tx for some memories . You should not have been there last week as well.  Could you just show a glimmer of gusto in perhaps your last game.   Fgs.

Bring on the sub.

 


The lack of foot skills in our team is glaring, isn't it?

Pickett set the tone early by giving up the shot on goal Smith had early in the game.

He will be suspended for his bump on Cripps and rightly so.

 

Won't be much of a loss tbh on current form. Unfortunately the next cab off the rank would be Bailey Laurie and that fills me with very little confidence.

Tries to be the tough guy too much too.

Just get a kick first Koz.

Undisciplined.

They completely changed the momentum and also denied us getting the lead back. Disgraceful. But doing as they are told.

TMac is a game killer and they have hom next season as well!

Takes the biggest defender..hasn't been true for seasons,now he just gets in the way and crushes our hopes.

Faark!

I'm waiting for the impossible hanger attempts now.

Commentary completely ignores the ARC. AFL shysters

Huh? I think without him tonight we’d be getting absolutely smashed!

Mate he's had a putrid first half. Dinky little 5m kicks that gets directly turned over. 

Running at 55% says it all along with just 2 tackles.

It's Jake Lever, Petracca and May who are keeping us in it.

  • 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.
