I believe the game is called 'foot'ball

My understanding is the aim is to kick the thing between the two white posts yes?

 

Half Time Casey Demons 3.11.29 lead North Melbourne 4.4.28

Goals Lewis 2 Campbell 

Disposals Bonner 21 Baldi 17 Laurie 14 Langford Windsor 13

Bill Laurie pulled from the match to be taken to Marvel as an emergency 

 

It's gotta get to some point where we need to seriously review our goal kicking program.

Absolute below par some of the set shorts that are being missed by full time professional athletes both in AFL and VFL.

Out of interest for those watching, are we missing easy shots or are these tough shots from the flanks/pockets?

I don't get to training so I can't comment but on bigfooty a regular Melbourne supporter who attends said in all the pressure season training he went to, goalkicking practice was completely non existent. 

Yes, the player do it on their own spare time after training but from he was saying there is a no structured training in place for this.

Other than the Yze miss the shots were from around 45 metres including some blazing on the run. Fullerton's two misses were from perhaps 35 on a 45 degree angle.

Percentage wise you could expect at least another 3-4 goals

i attended a training last week as i was in melb for the f1 they were playing soccer for the most part of training, via social media posts and photos it looks like they do quite regularly. maybe instead they should just focus on goal kicking, it isnt to far fetched to say that we probably would have an extra cup or two to show for if improved our goal kicking 22' and 23'

How’s he looked @adonski? 

Pretty good without dominating

His best work has been in link up play between the arcs where he has found space and used the footy well in transition

Had 2 shots on goal in the first quarter, one long bomb from 55 and a second from a set shot inside 50 where he missed both

Has played pretty much exclusively as an inside mid from what I can tell but you miss stuff with the dodgy camera work

our entire skill level needs to be reviewed

i get that choc is important for our 'culture set' but he has not improved our skills at all

I've read that on this site too. They practise all the speccy shots, on their own time.

 

They need to have organised practice of simple shots. The speccies can look after themselves.

  • 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.
