Fritsch, Kozzie, Melksham and Turner with a combined 21 possessions. Melksham makes the most of his 5 though.

    Because we are playing extra in the stoppages which we never do normally. 

    Which is all cool if we're winning the stoppages......

    We can very soft at times, honestly two players tackling that should have ended in a HTB instead they let him dispose of the ball.

    Let get real where playing a top 4 side on their home ground with our two best players on side line. Hardly a surprising result. Dee’s have fought it out and sucked in King for calling out a 100 point loss.

    That Windsor speed up the middle with any kind of forward line and/or some better composure, let me dream

    Some of the goals we've conceded as they've walked into them have made us look like a bottom 4 side.

    To be fair... they really didn't have much opportunity to get many more.

    We raise our intensity and the umpires raise their intent. 

    Exactly...it seemed like every time momentum was starting to shift wr would either make an error, miss a goal or the umpires would blow a [censored] free kick.

    Just hold on the 100 point loss call just at the moment.

    I am not saying it’s working. Or a good strategy. Just answering the question. 
     

    Midfield and defense should be ashamed of this performance. Senior players an absolute disgrace with lack of accountability and defensive effort. 
    No excuses and I love May but Jesus stop carrying on like a pork chop, you’ve been embarrassed today.

    Not sure I would call this fighting it out.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
