    Langdon had five second half possessions with 1 tackle. Went missing big time.

    Our lack of quality smalls and theirs being so good really stood out today.

    A bit tough I think, I thought he was very competitive and strong in the contest. Pretty good for mature recruit, never played at the level

    Henderson also looked comfortable with the pace of the game

    Lindsay looks swift and classy! Thought I was watching a Febey ♥️💙

    Also gave 2 goals away in the first half through lazy kicks...going backwards no less

    I heard the ABC call for the first half and watched mist of the second half.

    i think I agree Chandler, Howes and Fritta

    should be embarrassed to take the coin for this week and be nervous about next week’s. 
    and I think the AFL and their round zero can shove that idea where the sun does not shine.

    we did well but not well enough

    Fritsch out Turner in, and put May at FF

    Chandler out Spargo in

    I was at the G and kept a close eye on Fritsch for most of the game.

    Whilst he was far from his best and didn't trouble the scorers, I was encouraged by him getting a lot more involved in the sleeves up, second & third effort type stuff, rather than his more typical floating around the fringes waiting for someone to get it to him. 

    If he isn't getting points on the board I at least want him putting heat on the opposition defenders so someone else potentially can.

    To my eye, he did that job pretty well.

    How much credit does Fritsch have in the bank after his Grand Final success?

    At what stage can we say that his performances just aren’t worthy of automatic selection?

    Carefull....

    At times he looked sore and at one stage he couldnt run but in aswer to the question probably by round 4.  Still, who comes in?

    I agree

    He showed no interest at all getting himself into the game

    Fortunately for him, we don't have a replacement

    Bowey - impressive all game

    Yes Chook, I felt that Bowey was impressive across the game, not necessarily all game - but it was great to see him more active and inventive with his kicking skills, accuracy and tenacity in winning the ball on occasion. He can only put these experiences in the bank, work on these, become (once again) a really good clearing backman. I'd hope that the return of Judd will add to his capacities etc.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
