Great mark Fritta. Also possibly the best quarter I've ever seen Chandler play.

That Spargo kick 😘.

Curtis is a worry. We haven't got a great match up for him.

 

Spanked in the middle, spanked on the outside, 6 points in front. 

I'll take it.

Christ Langford.  Had to kick that

Would have been a fair kick from Casey 😏

Bloody brave from Fritsch

Soft free to JVR. I’d be fuming the other way

Happened right in front of me. Clear free. Defender knew it straight away and threw his hands up in guilt.

 

Lucky North didn’t capitalise early in the qtr, Chin, Oliver, Rooter started well. 
things changed towards the end of the qtr, we seemed to take the game on more which is lovely to see.


Having Spargo and Salem deliver the ball inside 50 helps. Doesn't happen enough at the MCG.

Two sitters missed in the past three minutes 🤬

Interesting read in the Casey thread about our atrocious kicking for goal there today too.

A couple of people saying that there's no structured goal kicking at as part of training.

Just players having pings at goal in their own time.

A little bewildering if true.

Players with one disposal or less: Turner, Lever, Howes, and Jefferson with zero.

Really missing McVee and Windsor (amongst others of course).

That could have been a catastrophic 3 way injury to Fritta, Jeffo and Roo!

dodged a bullet.

Mistakes, poor pressure and woeful kicking for goal and we still finished the quarter ahead. 

Only need a 5% lift and we’ll blow this out of the water.

Rivers, Petracca, Gawn, Langdon all having shocking games. Four elite players who could turn up and give us a huge boost.

JVR misses a chest mark then missed one from 25m?

Terrible. He got a great block from a teammate.

Jefferson is like the baby of Watts and Weideman. Not great.

Looks hurt here, hope he's ok, but honestly subbing him out wouldn't be there worst.

Don't worry Pickett will kiss it better...

Boy I hate Demonland sometimes. 

Luckily the umpires are favouring us

Trac one contested touch and terrible kicking

We have plenty of improvement to come!

Just in case anyone forgot why Spargo is in the team and why we’ve missed him and someone like him, that pass into 50 to Langdon (?) is perfect evidence. 

Lowers the eyes, skilled, smart.

Nice pass by Salo at the end, too.

Better end to the game hopefully we run off from that. Nice to see Fritter on the board, too. 

Let’s go!!! 🔥

 


Gawn in for a hard days work with Xerri. Becoming a great ruckman and the next generation. Who will win? Love it

What was the reason for the First Quarter being so long, i can only follow scores on here today?

Yes but both take too long to get the ball moving. But agree  position kicks into F50 help

  • 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.
