Gawn - reasserted his dominance 

Viney - impressive tagging role

Petracca - excellent second half

Billings - important and effective 

May - dominated his opponents

Oliver - prolific and important 

McDonald - was impressively dominant 

Salem - better second half

Rivers - less fumbling today

Chandler - took his chances

Pickett - important, not prolific 

Langdon - continued mediocre form

Lever - strong and resilient 

McVee - reliable and steady

Howes - continued impressive performance 

Hore - made transition seamlessly 

Brown - a welcome return 

Windsor - learning the ropes

Van Rooyen - limited but effective 

Neal Bullen - some important touches

Sparrow - was rarely noticed

Fritsch - disappointing kicking skills

Woewodin - had little involvement 

 

joeboy; add some pizzazz!  

Ok solid overall with very little to disagree about.

Ed Langdon must be the new whipping boy out on the Canterbury line. 

18 disciplined disposals at 88%+ DE makes him a solid team contributor. 

 

Ed - Good second half.


Melbourne - great team effort. 

Oliver ........ CHOO CHOO CHAMPION

 

Pretty fair report 
but 

Langdon getting better slowly 

Jvr slow start, better

BBB  everywhere man thankyou

EARL SPALDING was one of my favourite players of that era, I think we just gave him away to Carltank for nothing?🤨🤮

Yep ditto Mr Fence.

In the end we / he couldn't quite correct his wayward set shot kicking for goal so we moved him on.  Everything else was good imho.

Unfortunately he improved that aspect to a fair degree at Carltank & as you would already know, went on to play in their '95' flag.

Agree. I think Ed's form from the Carlton game has been good. Looks to be on the improve compared to 2023. Covered a lot of ground yesterday to plug spaces and a lot of that running he does knowing it won't be rewarded with possession but potentially saves/sets up scores

  • 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.
