    baggers get away with a lot of throws and just dropping the ball once they're being tackled

    Them and the Pies are the umps massive pets. Expect +150 each for the season.

    well Harry McKay should be missing first few weeks - cleaned Bowey up

    Nothing in it if he goes for that it's a joke.

    Pretty good run from halfback and delivery inside 50, all things considered.

    Max forward is brilliant, that will allow Grundy to play predominantly ruck…………….wait a minute

    If McKay doesn’t get 3 weeks for that, nothing has changed. 

    Nup didn't raise the elbow. As the commentators said just the momentum he had & mckay is a lot stronger than Jake. Considering bowey didn't get a free for high contact nothing will happen.

    it's extraordinary that I can't decide whether gawn, petracca, or oliver are the best players I've ever seen play for us

    Max Gawn is in my opinion the best ruckman to play the game and the best Melbourne player to play the game.

    Don't think there was really much in that.

    Max is firing.

    Tracca too.

    Some Good inside 50 connection.

    Not a good night for Werridee.

    His two most hated players - Tomlinson and Schache - both prominent early.

    And on top of that Howes had an exceptional first term.

    Oh dear, I feel another team coming!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
