Yeah haven’t seen the first half Picket but he’s decision making in the fourth has been strange.

Billings has been great!

No he hasn’t, moments of class but he’s a few steps behind in pressure and contested work.

    Hard to read much from a practice match, but some positives so far:

    Windsor and Brown do not look out of place. Verrall also.

    Rivers strong improvement continues. McVee plays like he's been at this level for 10 years

    Kossie in the middle for more than the first bounce of each qtr is great

    Billings getting a bit of it.

    Viney is massive for our midfield

    A few negatives so far:

    The fumble attempts at marking, particularly by May and Lever

    Turn overs killing us, poor decision making and handball execution

    Lack of pressure in defence. Bolton must have the pox, he's that clear

    Still too many long bombs and poor conversion in front of goal

    Is Langdon playing? Just ran down an opponent, so just noticed him

    Give me his moments of class than our classless turnover merchants!

    Not sure what we’ve done to Windsor’s kicking but he’s now holding the ball funny and hitting the inside of the foot on half of them. He’s been nicely Melbourne’d

    Score please

    Big prediction, but we look bottom 8. You can focus on who is not out there, but the foot skills are as bad as any side in the league

    Its just scratch game but we still seem lacking up fwd.

    Rivers syrong improvement continues

    What?

    I’m not too concerned about our defense. 
    They’re clearly working of fast ball movement but the skills is still a concern. Sometimes they’re biting off more that they can chew but that’s why it’s a practice match. They are looking at what is working and what is not.

    Hasn’t had an amazing day by any stretch but it’s good signs from JVR you can tell he’s taken a step

    Conversion was off today but otherwise he's looking ominous as a strong marking forward target for us.

    I thought you were backing me up on the whole it’s a practice match thing.

    Yeah no doubt. But defs needs to tidy up his disposal.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
