Why isn't it umpire descent by Battle? Screaming swear word at the umpire after a clear free kick.

And expected score

Watching the hawks whenever they get tackled.  Their head jerks back 

cheating nuggets 


Spell checker.  I meant baaaarstasrds

Loving Fox not calling Nick Watson the wizard every time he is near the football. 

Neither of these forward lines are drastically better or worse than ours. Just goes to show it’s not as  important to have superstars in your forward line.

 

Hawthorn will smoke us unfortunately.

Yes it is very depressing that they have bounced back so quickly…

They play an exciting game. However, Sydney are deplorable defensively. There is no way we give them this much space. Maybe we get burnt on turnover here and there but this game is heavily on the outside so you cannot compare.
 

If we try to play this game style , like Sydney are , yes we will get toast. But this is not our game style so I’d just hold your horses. Remember Port beat them in finals last year when the Hawks were hot. Port play a similar style of footy as the Dees. 

So good to not have to listen to BT Darce and the rest of those tools

Fox just talk footy

Every year, people jump to conclusions based on results in the first round of the (long) season.

Making a call before half-time of the first and only game to be played is taking it to a new level.


Meek will go close to AA. 

Little known secret - Max started mentoring him last year just when Meek started dominating games. 

Our GOAT

On another note, hawthorn will absolutely slice us up...and most teams tbh if they play like this. Fast, creative, tough, so skilful and then the 3 big rock interceptors. I was hoping they'd slide back to reality but right now they look like they've gone to another level entirely 

Sydney on the other hand seem significantly weaker than last year. No Errol makes a huge difference.

…we haven’t even played a game yet and they’re currently getting dominated in this Q3.

Did you hate how Jeff Farmer got the nickname before he played a game?

I didn’t know that. Thought he got the nickname after he establishing himself

How did he get his nickname?

A recruiter (might have been ours) saw him play and reported that "This kid is a wizard".  The name stuck.

  • 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.
