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!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
