Agreed. A lot of the new recruits always are looking to do team things and give it off. Sometimes they need to trust their gut. 

And again - Id love to see him just go for the snap inside 50.

    Caleb Lewis is a 196cm prospect from VFL Footscray VFL who formerly was with the Sandringham Dragons.

    He played at St Bedes and Bevo stole him late in the season for the Dogs VFL team. The kick can seriously play.

    AMW sets up a goal for Schache. But Tomlinson is the one who put on the pressure, kept it in and got it out.

    Casey regained a little momentum in the second half of the quarter. Plenty of possessions from hardworking Campbell Hustwaite who had nine touches for the term. Some very good promise from Tholstrop.

    Moniz-Wakefield having an excellent 2nd quarter. 

    He backs himself in and takes the game on.

    defense

    a couple of marks, a couple of turnovers, and no second efforts

    Both he and Adams are a serious concern at this stage - really should be showing more

    A “better” quarter. 
    the defence is holding up in a tough game. Tomlinson + Jefferson + Adams are getting to contests and not being beaten. But it’s a lot of inside 50s and each time we rebound it’s a turnover or spoil. AMW had a great quarter and looks very good behind the ball. 
     

    mids are being smashed. Clearance work is terrible and they don’t really know how to play together by the looks of it. Kolt is having a good first game and is playing the role he is being asked, but it would be good to see him to be a bit more selfish. Woey playing better but needs more runners. K Brown again ok for his first season but again needs more forwards to kick to. Laurie is ok but not sure what he is offering as a mid. 
     

    forwards are not seeing much of it but Lewis looks a player. Schache doing what he does at this level and looks good. 
     

    verrell being beaten by someone bigger in Meek but working hard. KFW still a while away. Fullerton has been ok, but I thought he’d be more involved around the ball. 
     

    Tomlinson best on for me, followed by Kolt, then Woey. I’m feeling better about Jefferson after that quarter.

    AMW shows a bit but his disposal is not good enough. 

    Disappointing half by Woewodin, with too many mistakes. He needs to get stronger and cleaner.

    Brown is a clever player. But is too small for AFL at the moment. 

    Jefferson shows no AFL qualities. 

    Tholstrup does some good things but not enough. 

    Laurie is a good ordinary VFL player.

    Schache played a decent half but doesn’t have the competitive spirit to play as a forward in the AFL.

    Is love to hear from someone at the game. From the tv, I wonder if they are zoning and playing the system like we’ve taught them? So that’s why Jefferson goes for some contests and others he runs back to the goal line. Adams comes forward to attack a contest and then runs back. Whatever Goody said to them at quarter time, they’ve changed something in the set up and he’s got AMW much more involved.

    looks like he’s ready to take a step up to me.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
