Actually after watching the replay didn’t look like a free

It wasn't. Side not back. 

 

Clarry’s kicking has been terrible

Sometimes I wonder why Sparrow gets selected.

Today is one of them.

he is pretty important to the midfield rotation and making sure our other mids get a rest

 

Better quarter, much more contested ball and a few more (earned) free kicks our way.

Our movement is better this week but our kicking inside 50 is still ****house. 3 marks i50 from 27 entries, vs 8 from 27 for them. Need to do a lot better at kicking to advantage


Still a lot of work needed on our entries. Oliver has absolutely butchered some of his entries. Trying to be too cute and just completely missing the target.

Feel like if we just get some better connection and can nullify Jones better we’ll run away with it.

Just today?

 

Credit to Goodwin. Our attacking method feels different. We are using the corridor more. Our field kicking has been good. We are taking a moment to assess the next kick attacking out of half back. I like it. 
 

Nice to have BB and Tmac back. Both are doing their job well. Clarry is a beast. Really loving the look of howes, Windsor and billings. 
 

Plenty to like! 

May and Clarry physically monstering them

Billings and Windsor providing the class

Seeing a lot more kick and mark and spread than last year. Far from perfect but good to see Goody is implementing changes to the game plan


Gawn on track for 30 touches and 12 clearances and 36 hit outs

Umpiring standard this season leaves a lot to be desired.

We seemed to have taken our foot off their neck in the second halve of the second quarter.

Great effort from Bb and good to see Chin of old.

Kozzie gone cold.

May playing very well.

Hore is back where he belongs.

Jvr totally mia that quarter.

He and Fritta need to get going. Moreso Fritta.

Max atoning for last week.

Viney was quiet that quarter after a blistering start.

 

Milky in the rooms giving advice to fritta 

obviously a coach in the making really good to see. And petty wandering around as well


If Sparrow and Fritta can get involved, this would be a big help in consolidating a lead. 

Seemed like we took our foot off a little in the second half of that qtr. a little bit of a missed opportunity but I appreciate it’s warm out there. Might need to conserve energy?

Windsor has been excellent.  So quick of mind and hands. Love him already. 


Using the half time breaks to read more this year.

Currently reading Hymns of the Republic by S.G Gwynne which details the last year of the Civil War. Highly recommend!

Hope the DA have the ice vests on at half time. 30oC in the helmets 

tough goin

Pleasantly surprised by TMac, BBB and Hore. Sparrow has done SFA. Lever still below par. 

Stoked with Bbb.

From reports I was expecting him to play with a cane

Literally just rocked in after running the length of Birrarung Marr no idea what's happening in the city

Isn't that stupid person who blocked freeway holding a rally.

If Kossie can have 10 quality possessions in the 2nd half we’ll win easily 

Big if!!!

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
