Logan Morris - wow. A very complete player.

 

Those Lions jumpers again 🫣

 

dropping the knees to win head high frees is a blight on the game

We had massive opportunities to bury those ppricks from Glenferrie.

No star power whatsoever.

Bunch of rejects from other clubs put together, real social media, content creator type false alarmers.

The Carlton forums are fun right now. This gave me a chuckle.

We had a chance to trade McKay for Petracca, exactly the kind of player we need right now. Instead we pick Mr "In no rush for a premiership" who plays 1 good game out of every 4.

did they?

i don't think we'd have been keen on that deal

 

bears run and spread from the contest is much better today

who had the role, if anyone, on rayner last week? i can't seem to remember anyone in particular paying close attention to him, but i don't remember him being super-involved either

2 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

if cripps doesn't win the ball at the stoppage - which i would say is 1 in 4, cos he's such a brute in that situation - then he simply doesn't move defensively at all

I suspect the poor guy is absolutely knackered 90% of the time. It is one thing to carry the club's inside game AND be the stalwart calming influence on fans and coteries, but making Cripps play in the ruck for extended periods actually sits for me as the marker that Voss should go. A coach who looks at their best player, who is best in the competition at their primary role, and says 'you can sort out my positional disorganisations' is inviting a lightning bolt.

On a related note, it wasn't that long ago that the Cripps-Walsh pairing was looking like becoming the core of an unstoppable midfield. Cripps with the sheer volume of impact on contests and Walsh with the relentless running and effective attacking use.

Now, Cripps is wearing down to dust and Walsh just isn't a top level player - just by the numbers he's a solid 20% off his younger form.

we let ourselves down with poor goal kicking.

zorko radar off today. some very uncharacteristic miskicks

Seems the Fox commentators are barracking hard for the hawks, pretty ordinary I reckon

Cripps in the ruck is just such a bad idea.

Especially when you have Mackay needing to get into the game, and to take pressure off of him as a goal scorer.

It may not look like much but the wrestling really takes it out of your second efforts, leads, sprints, etc.

 

Hawks got pies, dogs and crows next 3, wouldn’t be surprised if they lost all 3. I don’t think they have beaten a side inside the 8 this year. Love to see them go into the bye outside the 8 and us above them

Correct.

Must be a secret message!

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
