    It's the handballs without even looking that kill us.

    Who doesn't look?

    Half the side at least.

    It's madness.

    Its just reflex and it's always wrong.

    Salem one of the biggest offenders much of the time.

    OMFG what did I say about Dangerfield! Biggest flopping, oldest moron going around

    It's not pretty.

    And some horrible efforts by us.

    But we playing with more intent at least.

    Duck that umpire.

    Sharpen our disposal even 20 % and we are a chance.

    That's how poor our disposal has been.

    Thankfully taken the cats down to our poor skill.level.

    Max you need to find yourself again. Not one mark on a dry night. What's going on.

    Your seven feet almost.

    Umps need to fix up their understanding of 15 meters. It’s way more inconsistently called than last year.

    a lot of people retiring Max after his one dip in form in years.

    Not even Max can get the better of Old Father Time.

    He desperately needs the back-up ruck we haven't got.

    We are really struggling for skills, game plan, can’t stick a tackle but what we don’t need is to be battling the umpires as well as Geelong! That not 15 call on Kossie was ridiculous. And you cannot touch Danger or Cameron without a fricking whistle blowing! It’s doing my head in.

    Our skills and positioning has never looked worse. We're a shell of the team that trained the house down.

    GAWN AND VINEY CAPTAIN AND VICE CAPTAIN TO CASEY... JUST TERRIBLE


    Plenty of glimmers of hope and positives. Probably not enough, but at least they look like a football team. At times.

    Get Windsor and Kozzie back up to speed, Lindsay and Lever back in ... building, building.

    Agree that Petty needs to be shown the door.

    Lacks any sense of footy iq, is slow and lazy.

    I can forgive the first two DD, but I question his effort. Has been absolutely pathetic tonight.

    • 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.
