    Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

    Do I not know what belies mean? This looks exactly what 16 v 19 should look like

    Certainly do and am enjoying the game. A tight competitive contest with most blokes giving it a real go.

    Interesting to see that Fraser Rosman is currently lining up for Port Melbourne.

    Schache - good, but could easily be better, not screaming afl 

    Fullarton - Schache with more speed but less skill

    Jeffo - stats aren’t there but looked faster and more willing, not his worst game. No coordination going forward 

    KFW - probably the worst, but geez he barely plays. Such a waste of time him turning up 

    Willy V - slowed a bit in q2 and did a few too many ruckman things, doesn’t kick as well as he thinks.

    Laurie - cracking in hard but he can’t break in to space and the missed tackles are killers

    Hunter - a mile off

    Tomlinson - lifted but still meh

    Turner - reading it beautifully  and getting hands on it, rusty but promising 

    Adams - gets spun around too easily, gets caught flat footed with the ball and bangs it to no one.

    AMW - willing tackler, competes well, decision making/ball use shaky 

    Sesto - good when he finds the ball, just doesn’t find enough

    Kynan Brown - willing, able

    Jeffo really needs to get more involved.  I may have missed a few but barely sighted for mine

    I know he's had a shoulder issue but Ollie's run past the ball quite a bit today and / or just sits back ball watching.

    Laurie showing plenty.     
    Fullarton has promise for the near future.      
    Verrall definitely in time.     
    Turner not bad for a first up run.   
    Tomlinson looks disinterested and confidence shot. Understandable on both counts.  
    Grave doubts about Jefferson.    
    Put a line through Sestan.    
    Are they having a laugh by playing KFW?

    Why does this commentator scream in to the mic at every shot at goal? Someone fix him. Please. It’s been going on for years

    Moniz is a forward every day of the week.  Madness trying to make him into something he isn't imv.

    Will he learn some defensive aspects...maybe.  But in the course of doing so he might also lose some of his crumbing/ offensive flair, skill and intuition.

    He is the worst... and often louder for anyone non-Casey

    You don’t lose skills in a few weeks and we have no small defensive depth, but the moment we have any defenders back he needs to go forward again.

    I get that but its not like he's going to be the difference down back.  He might up forward and in the mean time has no chance to score and possibly stick his hand up for a berth at senior level either.

    What a waste.

    Hunter can play his role from here surely

    Also very little pressure when the ball hits the deck inside 50.  You just had Turner come all the way from HB after being involved in the first part of the chain there.... then having to put a 3rd effort in to try and pressure loose Port players inside 50.

    Ridiculous

    Verrall’s mastered the Gawn move (hit it straight to the opposition mids)

    Getting beaten purely by the Port’s strong bodies ability to get hands out whilst being tackled. And umpires giving them a ridiculous amount of leeway to do so

    • 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?
