Lester to Melk. Andrews fail

 

We could really do with a (in form) Fritch type in this forward line. Will be VERY interesting to see how he responds when he is subbed in.

Can Sparrow carry his bags?

Trac doesn’t seem to impact the way he used to. Has become very vanilla

Not committing to the contest. Hanging back. Losing too many 1 v 1 s and not hitting the contest hard or with any pace / momentum at all.

Simon needs to take him aside and have a word for the 2nd half. NO passengers mate

 

Brisbane too good, even when we do play well.

Gret team goal to Rivers


Why is a 33 year old, injury prone Jake Melksham our only forward who actually launches at the ball when going for a mark?

Everyone else tentatively stands there waiting for the ball to come to them?

Nice goal Riv

Turner Kozzi Melksham

have all been good

Gawn Rivers Bowey Trac

good enough

Both him and Oliver look like they need another pre season but even then might just be the new norm for them

Our skills picked up in the last 15 mins and as a result, we're still in it.

Putrid skills for the first quarter and a half, particularly kicking.

Who the hell is our kicking coach?

Nice goal Riv

Because most aren't natural forwards or have a forward's mentality / nouse.

I forgot about Turner before when i mentioned sending Macca up there for Petty.

So no need.

Swap Petty for Turner to have any chance of getting close on the scoreboard

  • 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.
