Getting pretty much nothing from our forwards, and moving the ball sloppily from defence. We do look tired, as you'd expect.

    Lets face it.
    We're going about as good as the umpires right now.

    I don't think there was any reason not to see out the quarter without conceding. Why did Rivers go inboard?

    the boys needed to sharpen up otherwise we're in trouble


    They were always going to come out firing

    7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

    i’ll take that!

    Rivers first quarter kicking again. Grrr.

    Flat game of footy without lots of intensity. 

    We usually play and score so well from a halfback turnovers, but we can't seem to get it past the wing.

    Choppy game so far, I think we’ll be ok when it settles. Crows getting away with a fair few throws, drops, arm chops - looks like they’re getting unco allowance.

    Poor kicking performance so far from Riv. Turned it over with his last 3 kicks.

    Noise of affirmation working well

    Completely outcoached and outplayed that quarter

    Lucky they didn't kick straight

    Adelaide play a chip game.... you win 70 metres out from their goal and rebound

    Getting smashed in the middle and our foot skills have been bad. 

    Hopefully we’re saving the energy for.. . Well, from now because we can’t afford them entering the 50 like that all game, eventually they’ll improve conversion.

    Hard to see on the Telly, Is Oliver being tagged? Can’t seem to get near it.

    • 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?
