Nice Lindsay aerial contest down back there and not sure it was his fault Tommy no skills hammering a handball back at him. He’s ticked a few boxes today 

 

Some clear deficiencies, but I am not too hassled by the score. Our general play is looking better  as the game extends.

Salem and Windsor growing, Langford ok.

Johnson looking to have established his spot as our 2nd big body forward.

Fritsch a worry.


lol, Claz. This is great to see him hitting the scoreboard. But he shouldn’t. Be leading our goalkicking… 

 

Our players still look scared to give away sling tackle free kicks/suspensions.

Guys, when it comes to the real stuff just dump them.

Why not?

He is playing an aggressive centre mid role, regularly being the one to drift to the front of the storage, and has rested in the forward pocket.

3 goals in 3 quarters should be leading every clubs goal kicking. We don't have Charlie Curnow running round out there

Genuinely, there's been enough to be relatively pleased with today. Bit of a hiding to nothing match. Lindsay looks good

It was great however his two long kicks into the forward line didn’t favour our forwards at all.

Yeah he hasn't been completely polished but I reckon his positives have outweighed his negatives today.

Lol, a part of me is keeping an eye out for Austin Wonaeamirri.

Holy [censored] I think I got the spelling right!

Relax, we got this.


Whatever happens from here midfield stoppage work, Oliver’s work rate, Max being Max, glimpses of some dash off half back, more forward handball, tackling pressure against a side I rate a lot more than others on here are positives

  • 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.
