Oliver needs to go for the ball & not be watching his opponent. If he gets it then he should try kicking it. No airy fairy handballs please.

OK Petty back Tommy forward. Tom's a good baackman but Petty's a terrible forward.

Take it back!

Bowey should be dropped.

Got no power in the shoulder 

 

IM O. Oliver firstly needs to enjoy his football.  If he does then the opposition best player will be tagging him. If he gets plenty of touches.  That’s just a bonus,  it’s not about this game. It’s about the rest of this year and next !

Fritsch has Donuts thus far, perhaps try him on the wing for a bit.


Getting smashed in the stoppages but been a while since we have kicked five in a first ( or other for that matter) so happy with the effort.

he has forgotten how to play football

To be fair has a hard tag by Philips, but Viney, Sparrow, Tholstrup and Rivers stepping up, Oliver might need to play decoy and wear it tonight.

Has this ever happened? Very strange indeed and can't say I like it.

Check out Caiden Cleary for the Swans tonight. Debutant as sub. I reckon Sydney are a reasonable yardstick as a club making good decisions. Correct call by our club.

I am watching on my phone so it’s a bit hard to but I think we have been ok so far. JV attacking the ball much more like normal.

Sparrow has been destroyed in the air and at stoppage multiple times. He needs to be a bull.

Turner, Petty, Kossie and Chandler all kick goals and some folk are asking about Fritsch’s where abouts. 😂

Agree he is one of our better skilled players! 

Good to hear the commentators calling out the ridiculous over-estimation of 50 metres.


Anyone else sick of seeing lazy handballs that constantly turn it over.

We our now masters of it 

Since we've come down a few pegs as a team, the few shining lights have shined all the brighter. Petracca before his injury for sure, but for me Max Gawn is far and away our best player at the moment.

He does have donuts or maybe an Audi or Olympics.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
