I thought Windsor was good today.

Rivers and Salem tried pretty hard too.

    Rivers - lost his dash … what game are you watching? At 591 metres gained, Riv was ranked #1 in todays game, most often with a running burst before a long kick!

    Laurie - Replace with Sestan

    Chandler - replace with Tholstrup

    It's about time we played some big-bodied clearance beasts instead of two undersized school boys

    May, great after first?

    as the general down back played terribly. every time they went fwd they looked like scoring 

    Except for the 20 times he repelled their attack.

    Gawn - performed as expected 

    Rivers - lost his dash

    Salem - poor under pressure 

    vanRooyen - showed some energy

    Pickett - didn’t convert chances

    Windsor - couldn’t get involved 

    Viney - off the pace

    Oliver - disposals were amateurish 

    Fritsch - poor first half

    May - great after first

    Neal-Bullen - a disciplined performance 

    Petracca - there goes season

    Sparrow - continued poor season

    Laurie - a schoolboy footballer

    Bowey - had little influence 

    Turner - a year away

    Howes - two years away

    McDonald - impressive under pressure

    McVee - was rarely noticed

    Langdon - career worst game

    Billings - nothing to commend

    Chandler - was he playing?

    Petty - offered team nothing

    Sparrow should have couple weeks at Casey 

    Lawrie can go, he’s just no good

    Billings & Petty can go, never again, Petty is already in Adelaide, just going through the motions at the moment, he’s a waste of space.

    McDonald was great I thought. More then 3 words but here is another 3 word précis.

    WTF

    Thought May was pretty poor today. Uncharacteristically a momentum killer, he constantly got sucked high up the ground leaving 1 v 2s on the last line often, the guy was totally at sea today.

    That mark in the 3rd where he went to play on and handball it straight into Jack Crisp a metre away was pathetic and his weak effort on Hoskin-Elliott right on the stroke of half time when we desperately needed to not concede was unforgivable. This was a very un-Steven May like performance and i'd expect him to be pretty unhappy with it too.

    How he is still getting a game is mind blowing, fumbles, fumbles then when he does grab it either gets caught or turns it over. Get rid of him. 

    Why wouldn't we turn Sparrow into a tagger? Seems the ideal body type and is ready fitness wise to do just that. Instead we are sacrificing an incredibly important player to our structure like ANB on Daicos.

    Daicos would have just run off Sparrow.

    ANB ' s value is his commitment to any role he's given

    Some teams have more than one of those allowing coaching choices

    Couldnt be asking for more form him.  Very dependable and deserves some praise.  Team has never been the same since he did his foot in 2022

    ANB is the most disciplined and unselfish player in probably the entire competition. He is the only player on our list capable of executing a heavy tag to absolute perfection.

    I would play Viney more as a half forward when Nibbler is in the middle, to counterbalance that defensive minded attack that we miss when ANB isn’t there.

    Although he faded in the last, I thought he was very good. Particularly in the first and second where he showed some great skill and dare weaving through pies players.

    I think Windsor is going to be a real player, even on days where he’s below par, he still puts in and his presence is more than his slight frame should allow.

    Jvr too.

    Not that he was bad yesterday.

    He's still getting bigger and learning his craft. Will start holding more of those grabs after his powerful run and leads to the ball.

    Just needs to drop and soften his hands and impact of ball and more will stick.

    Great leap so he plays like he's four inches taller.

    A future and hopefully long term star at the Mfc.

    Long may we hear roooooooooo.

    If last week was rock bottom, it’s not all doom and gloom. Points margin of loss was decreased by 41% from the previous round. 

     joeboy - comic genius works

    Max Gawn - monumental in defeat

    Trent Rivers - endeavour lacks finesse  

    Kysaiah Pickett - wayward [censored] genius

    Christian Salem - ying or yang?

    Caleb Windsor - kid goes alright

    Jacob Van Rooyen - showed some spark 

    Bayley Fritsch - press play now

    Tom McDonald - centred amongst kaos

    Alex Neal-Bullen - Nibbler does daicos 

    Steven May - matchup from hell

    Christian Petracca  - gallant at Gallipoli

    The rest - little meaningful impact

    Next encounter - Clarkson smells blood?

    Nice ,until you claim he's the best in the entire competition ..supporting your team doesn't require extreme hyperbole. 

    No  I don't know enough of all the other teams to say who is " better" ,but I did say his value to the team just that.

    He's underrated for sure

    Hopefully the " coach" will leave him back where he's at his best in his sunset season(s).

    Tom is one injury away from the end, and it must be demoralising to be finishing up in a rubbish team like the one he spent so much time in early on. 

    He's been admirable so far this season

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
