It would be fantastic to pull away in the 3rd Quarter 

After Halftime has been a slogfest this Season 

If we can't beat this propped up, pretend team, then there is seriously as something wrong with us as a club.

We will win today.

 

Overall it’s been a solid effort. Suns have been off but after a poor start we have played pretty well

Nice to see out future fwd line starting to click. Turner and Petty looking good. 

Apparently the only bloke playing for Dees is Viney.

Gold Coast must be winning by 50 points judging by the negative vs positive  posts. Remember the reason we are not out there is because the blokes that are, are better than us !!!!

Damn it that's cruel  15 minute break at work. Puck up my phone and utshalf time.

What have I missed? 

Very little. 

Disco’s crumbed a couple of nice goals.

Viney had a big second quarter. 

Max has largely beaten Witts but given up a couple of goals.

Our skills have been poor, the Suns have been worse.

And Sparrow got a nasty ankle injury that looked a little high ankle sprain ish.

If nibbler doesnt pick up , he should be dropped

You are crazy.

imo gc17 are pathetic - that they have had access to so much talent over the course of their time and they still haven't got near finals is an indictment upon them as a franchise

these sides very much look like teams who are sitting 11-13 on the ladder

So happy with how Tholstrup is looking

I want a refund

Pickett has been the laziest player on the ground today… just jogging around, applying pretty much zero pressure… thankfully one of the only times he did apply a little pressure and got his only possession, resulted in a goal assist.

I’m loving Turner’s game, Hore is showing a bit down back, Rivers managed to get himself somewhat back on track after a horrendous first quarter, Salem has been mostly good, but I have to wonder what has gone wrong with his kicking game. I’m not McVee is ready for a move to the midfield yet, having had only four possessions.

Here’s hoping McVee, Fritsch and Puckett can get themselves more involved in the second half.


So for half a game at least. Goodness is a champion coach

Great to see us kick more and handball less, tackle more and mark more than the opposition at half time. And despite less free kicks and i50s, we are in front. Well done Dees.

Ben Brown’s own ‘Mini Me’.

Dees are definitely in this. Viney not looking like someone dreaming of Arden Street. Rivers had a poor first quarter but improved later in the second quarter. Carn the Dees!

Great to see Charlie Spargo in the rooms!

He is alive!

Forgotten man. If he can get fit, ANB's spot is up for grabs.

His inside 50 connection was elite in 2021.

Before anyone has a meltdown, May who is injured is also not there. 


Come on you Demons!! 

Keep it up!!

Kozzie has gone to the wrong ground I reckon. Unsighted today.

 

 

Well done Kolt. Now kick another one.

Love Max giving Kolt’s leg a rub like a proud Dad.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • 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.
