You went a bit early...

Kick was fine, Laurie should have taken the grab...

    How was that a free kick against AJ on the wing?

    I actually think he goes ok and at least competes well.

    That's what I was referring to... it was like it was a free kick for being too strong in a marking contest. Weird.

    Decision making and execution needs vast improvement.

    Show composure in the forward 50 and we’ll win this. Rushing too often

    AJ’s follow-up work from marking contests is impressive.

    Was having a bit of a laugh... wasn't a terrible kick. A little bit loopy though so gave the defender a chance. Also a dangerous spot.

    I do like what I see from Sestan though, something to work with at half back.

    Casey clearly trying to cut back through the middle at every opportunity but kicking each time to a player under pressure.

    Easy to see what they are trying to do though. I wonder whether this is what the senior team is trying to do as well.....

    Great forward pressure, and certainly trying to lower the eyes. Some concrete hands ruined excellent F50 entries, but the intent and commitment to the style has been encouraging.

    Not a bad quarter, but we should be 4 goals up.

    Unusual that Fullerton has dropped a couple and almost missed his foot with a snap.

    Actually, think Verrall has won more taps than Campbell.

    Good to see some method. Just need to hang onto a few marks now.

    Trying to play the quick game and not quite connecting. That play interrupted by the siren was lovely.

    Could be the ground but we are playing closer to the boundary than we do at Casey.

    Laurie getting amongst it but needs to show some more skills. Woey needs to do more. Is K Brown playing?

    I'm not one to write of players as a rule, but geez i'm getting close with Laurie.

    Watching, i thought he had to go forward for that mark and show strength in his attack on the ball.

    And speaking of attacking the ball, just a few minutes earlier he didn't straight line a ball inside our 50, they won it and transitioned it up the ground. Poor effort.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
