Is JVR playing as a CHF or a deep forward?   

Hard to say from this vision.  Would need to ve watching from behind the goals to tell what he is or isn't doing. 

Mostly 'isn't' so far

2nd 

xx scoring !! One goal!!!  Inside 50s x 28  

xx fumbles. Laurie. Rivers. 
Xx dropped marks in forward 50. Sparrow. Fritsch. Chandler 
xx kick to packs !! Still !!! 
 

👏👏May. Howes. Viney. 

 

none of the umpires are consistent on this rule

 

Jack Viney decapitated - HTB.

And now a ridiculous 70 to give them a goal

Tough conditions I know but the skills from both sides are terrible. 

About time someone other than me said it.

Two questions regarding rules. They highlighted Grundy taking away Gawn’s space at centre bounces, he goes straight to the man before the ball is up in the air, I’m surprised that’s permitted. 
 

Second one is the McDonald has the ball from the mark on the forward 50, May stranded from the stand rule but McDonald is allowed to go straight towards goal ignoring May’s positioning and off the line of the mark, umpire doesn’t call play on. I don’t mind the rule, but that’s insanely unfair on the defensive team. 

Gawn needs to meet him halfway. If Gawn is remaining stationary and Grundy is simply taking the available space then fair play. Gawn needs to be more proactive.


Laurie subbed off. Billings on. About time!

The biggest worry is no run or connection by hand.  Mostly up & under kicks and the mid field looks to be right off the pace.

That's aside from the usual forward woes.

Is that Premiership coach Goodwin?


 

Looks like all the toxins are coming out of Oliver's pores.

  • 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.
