Bowey, Petty, McDonald, Lever are the starting backs with Salem, and Riv off the back flanks for the ‘A’ team.

interesting that with mcvee being ruled out for the first part of the season that rivers has been repositioned as a back flanker for the internal trial game 

mcdonald in the 'a team' as may is set to suit up for the indigenous game, i assume

No Windsor today either so wonder whether Rivers goes back to the midfield once Caleb returns.

Sparrow kicks truly. ‘A’ side comfortably in control. 

If they weren't I'd be very concerned

 

I’ll try and post some more consolidated thoughts tonight, but we definitely seem to be pressing up the ground on the transition and seem to be more matured with this than we were in the first half of last year. 
 

Bowey managed to push up and kick a pearler.

How did Bowey look? I'm hopeful he takes a big step up this year.

he playing back or wing?

Fritsch with another, takes his tally to 3.1. 
 

I’m somewhat tentatively going to say Salem is back to his best, looks to be moving very similar to 2021 form and accumulating and distributing well. 
 

Theres a brief stoppage with the coaching staff addressing both teams. Play resumes with 8:39 on the clock for the second stanza. 
 

Clarry has been extremely vocal barking instructions in the D50/F50. 
 

McAdam with a brilliant gather and sleight of hand out of a contested turnover in the centre square.

HB, but I think he’s now being trialled as a HF. Missed a bit of play moving sides but he wasn’t one of the six out of the back on the most recent play.

Looks good, I’d like him to get it a bit more but he’s definitely one of our better users. I actually think he could be a reasonable small forward for us.

The challenge with Salo is that he seems to get injured or sick, misses a few games, then can't get back to his best. Lever is the same way.

CP just mentioned he’ll be back in full training on Monday. 

This really is pathetic by the club, either they don't give a hoot or they are totally incompetent I don't know which is worse

Agree entirely. I really thought his confidence was really off last year and it showed. He really looked to doubt his ability to take contact.

Question is does he play against Norf week after?

An under utilised asset we have.

You wouldn't think he'll play in the seniors off just one week back in full training.

More likely against Freo on 2 March.

Yze and Culley both playing for the ‘B’ side. 

Roy george?

are we winning?  

umpire is killing us....

Sharp has hit the scoreboard with a snap around the corner. A beautiful Joe the Goose. 

 

Salem and Bowey swapped onto the ‘B’ side for the last, Laurie now playing ‘A’ side with Hore.

  • 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.

  • 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.
