Can anyone explain the lining up of that kick after the siren - it was for OOB on the full but the man on the mark was brought in 10-15 meters.

Outside 5 cos didn’t stand mark immediately

But then was moved to 10 metres not 5, these clown umpires.

I reckon we will run this game out but I’m really hoping to see a lift from guys like JVR and Sparrow. If they get involved and kick a few, we’ll be ok. We will need the lift.

He chose the outside 5 option.  The best option for any kick from the boundary when its OOTF.

But was then ordered to stand 10 meters away instead of 5.... go figure.

Umps making the rules up on the run.  And as per usual its mostly us getting the rough end of the pineapple.

Harrison Petty please, please, please get well soon!!!

Looks like JVR needs him to avoid mismatches.

a better quarter, but then that was not a particulary high mark to reach with only 1 goal in each of the first 2 quarters. really need to improve our disposal of the ball still pretty poor, lots of turn overs and kicking to the opposition. Gawny needs to change up his routine getting beaten too easily

 


My app says it still feels like 26 degrees up there. Will takes it toll. Hopefully we aren’t a player down with Bowey. But this is where we’ll see if selwyn is worth his paycheck. Hopefully our more seasoned players will start to roll over the top. Carn Dees 🔴🔵

Petty will make everyone better. Who goes to Petty JVR and Fritsch. Then add Kozzie and we have some very exciting forward half players. 

 

Schache, sorry to say; no chase.

  • 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.
