    A fairly even contribution from most players, with many having good moments. A few quiet ones but that is normal. This is the first time in a long time I don't have a churning gut. Great to see our hunger around the contest. Nowhere near our best but I will take a 24 point lead any time. 

    Great to see Petty up and about, Kolstrup has looked good, Viney and Sparrow hard at it, Salem looking the best he has been all year.

    What's with the norf supporters attitude?

    They have forgotten who they are .

    good on them. they're hungry for a scalp.

    Lucky they are kicking terribly. We are not playing well in this second quarter. 

     

    Aside from his goal , Kozzie is struggling to get his hands on it.

    Petty doing very well. It's all confidence for him.

    Not sure what's going on with Fritta.

    Not exactly moving like a well oiled machine but....

    Great quarter from Tholstrup. Oliver and Sparrow are going backwards


    We are so uninstinctive right now. It's a look I've not seen for a long time. A long time. 

    At the end of the year our board will need to ask some serious questions. Goody has changed the gameplan, and that definitely is a reason for playing without instinct, but if it's more than that I don't want to be stuck with the next Luke Beverage.

    Ah the kossie Pickett move got him. 

    Gee the north fans are lively


    At the moment Clarry is happy to engage with the young nobody players because that's all he has. 
    Poor fellow desperately needs a preseason.

    north can score quickly. we don't look like scoring. we are broken.

    Petty wheels, evades two has space and time and bombs to Fritsch who has three North players on him.

    Such forward connection

    We need to be brutal at the contest today. Enough is enough.

    It'd be more helpful to focus on skill, not brutality.

    Why not both

    They are both critical

    • 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.
