    4-15 it is beyond pathetic.

    This year Billing 1-5, Woey 0-4, Culley 0-3 and someone I forgot 0-4.

    Seriously these are still senior footballers.

    Not even talking about the missed handballs and kicks.

    18 AFL listed players playing for us at our ground.

    Lever turns it over and then Jeffo misses from 15 out.

    Which coach has them cut back into the corridor? The lack of skill to hit a target has cost 3 goals so far. I think Jeffo just did a hammy but has contributed little. The lack of skill and turnovers is unforgivable. Kolton having a mare and cannot get near the ball and just like the seniors our forward line structure and cohesion is sub standard. We have 18 AFL players on the park today and they are getting pantsed by Southport.

    This is hard to watch. Terrible entries in to the forward line and shots on goal are worse. I just don't understand our inability to kick to advantage. It beggars belief.

    Tholstrup looks so disinterested. Clearly having a sook in the VFL.

    Going to be a long 3 years until his contract runs out

    Now Culley from 20 misses.

    Meanwhile the Sharks go down the other end and goal again and again and again.

    5-3 to 8 behinds, shameful football.

    Jeffo finishes the quarter with an out on the full.

    Southport getting away from Casey - as you would expect when a team kicks 8 behinds in a quarter. The Demons are 4.17.41 to the Sharks 9.7.61.

    Goals Cross Hardie Jefferson van Rooyen

    I think Blake has been pretty unlucky at the top level this year. He hasn't struggled IMV, but he hasn't had huge impact and there are other defenders ahead him.

    I just wonder if they need to try him on the wing or at half forward where he played his junior footy.

    I reckon we're gonna be alright for tall defenders, which will enable us to play Turner and probably Petty forward long term.

    Howes has definitely struggled at AFL level this year and has made too many critical errors. In particular, fumbles and poor handballs. He needs to be ultra clean because he has no real penetration in his offence.

    Sestan, Adams and Howes all look ok, Kentfield a couple of saves but the rest, oh dear.

    Tholstrup playing like he thinks he should not be out there. His efforts today from my observation have been nothing short of pathetic.

    I've wathed the last 25 mins and thought exactly the same thing.

    I'm a big kolt fan but he's gone down in my estimation. i realise thats a big call given its only a quarter of footy, and he'll learn, but I put a huge stock in players who get dropped but don't drop their head.

    Made worse by the fact that goody gave him mutiple games to prove himself and he gave goody nothing.

    Wear the red and the blue and effort is 100% non negotiable.

    One of the most ridiculous things I've heard this year is two Demons fans calling into senior after our win over the tigers furiously calling for goody to he immediately replaced as senior coach by choco Williams.

    Blokes supposedly our kicking coach and in my 50 yearsof supporting the dees I don't think I can remember a list that accross the board is so woeful at kicking.

    JVR … looking lost

    Hey Freo … Kolt might be available!!

    Kentfield. Adams. Howes. Sestan. They are just ok. Just !!!

    Still in the game if they are half interested

    Stop kicking sideways and run through the corridor.

    This game has reinforced a lot of my views.

    JVR is a defender playing forward (and is being played forward because he is a good set shot kick for goal).

    Jefferson is a bust.

    K Brown could make it.

    Sestan could make it.

    Howes is a good VFL player.

    Culley is way too slow.

    Campbell is a very good backup.

    Verrell is not strong enough or good enough at ground level.

    I don't think Adams is a good enough kick to make it.

    Overall, out list management decisions have been too conservative in turning the list over.

    Oh please. If we'd kicked 17.5 or even 11.11 we'd be winning. Pretty clear what we need to work on

    That's true, except it has been the problem for at least 3 years and we are actually getting worse.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • 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.
