Fritsch - had more involvement 

May - reliable and impressive 

Pickett - exciting first half

Sparrow - had some moments 

Melksham - experience added dimension

    Question mark on May’s assessment. He wasn’t great and looks very stiff and sore. Very lucky to be playing on a player who was clearly injured (Waterman) who still ran him around and kicked a couple.

    Sparrow offers nothing.

    I agree; May was often a metre or two behind.

     You are harsh on Oliver. He combined with the others to keep Reid to minor impact.

    I want him to start running assertively with the ball when he gets it and put the defence on its heels.  I understand he is playing to instruction however too often he gets it and stops.  Its hard to offer damage when doing that constantly.

    Lever :Needs to contest marks, rather then talking about it.

    TMac : Thank heavens !!!

    Yes  (May) he was then he jumps up and takes a couple of impressive marks. With a pass to milkshake for a goal ( I think)

    thought Clayton played within himself and his ability. But we won by 54 points. Round 10 they beat us by 35 points.
     

    pretty good turnaround.  Go Dee’s

    joeboy - brevis  Sporting Globe

    Ed Langdon - mojo magic working 

    Caleb Windsor - get dictionary out?

    Steven May - keep Petty campaign 

    Tom McDonald - best tall defender

    Kade Chandler - underrated defensive forward 

    Taj Woewodin - 🎼 start me up

    Looking forward to next Saturday night at the ‘G. Opening quarter was exemplary. Last quarter an incremental improvement.

    Think we need Petty at Casey to find some form, Disco down back and JEFFO to debut!

    Which forward are you dropping for Jeffo?

    Chandler, to Sub, Jeffo to debut. Chandler has not hit the scoreboard anywhere near enough for a small forward!

    I thought Lever was pretty poor. He struggles big time when he’s one-on-one against a genuine tall.

    Mat is a metre or two behind every week these days.

    If he wasn't so good he'd be finished.

    I have to agree, I think Mat was more than a meter behind his man. He must of been in the stands. I did not see Mat all game. 
     

    Hands up all Demonlander’s named Mat who attended today. Get in front FFS 😳😳🤩🤩😆😆

     

    Oh, you need a referral to the Physio too 😬😬

    With respect mate, you’ve been a tad obsessed with this Jeffo talk of late Picket. The kids finally finding his feet & starting to play some nice consistent footy. Why the rush? & especially how the forward line seems to be functioning the past couple weeks.

    The only time is see Jeffo debuting is if & when we’re out of the finals race. & the longer he’s not in the one’s the better it would seem we’re going.

    All things going well, he gets to build his case over a strong pre-season with a chance to impress for an early debut in 25’

    Lever was absolutely terrible. I'm guessing he was directly responsible for about 8 shots on goal, mostly to Allen. He is tall, but he's not a genuine tall defender.

    Funk and Wagnall was I believe made popular by frequent references in Rowan and Martin's Laugh In

    Fair point but if Sparrow's career ends up being 50% that Melksham's I'll be rapt. I have my doubts.

    • 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.
