We should be sitting on 65+ right now. 40 ahead.

We are still lacking one, just one, dangerous Key Tall up forward.

Petty doing his bit but he ain't no KF.

Turner doing very well down back but i'd still like to see him up forward at some stage to see how he goes in a swap with Petty. Maybe an opportunity next week against the aints?

Gee i'm lovin this doof at the G. So makes me wanna keep coming back 🤮

    Frisch,Petty & AJ need to lift & take a mark.

    Agree, but Petty is at least getting it to ground, not letting it rebound out.

    AJ. Not sure. Love the intensity, but not sure he's bringing much else.

    If I haven’t lost 10 years of my life watching us kick for goal, then at a minimum I’ve lost 8.

    Please learn to kick goals. I beg of you.

    Gee your all a bit tough on Spargo, doing a lot better than you think. Not all about stats.

    What are you smokin? He has been dreadful! Petty not much better and A.J is a country footballer at best!

    Yep.

    I just don't get why. It's been an issue for years.

    I mean you can't fault our tackling and chasing. But I wish the club got a team of Vienna Psychiatrists in and sorted it out.

    We have worried Swans players and forced errors all day only to fuzz it all up.

    Training this week is nothing but goal kicking work and some deep hypnosis and counselling.

    As Jung said to one of the first members of AA, the only thing that will cue you is a "vital spiritual experience". Can we pick Prevost up in the mid-season draft?

    Outside of aggression AJ offers nothing

     

    If you told me before the game we'd be 22 points up at half time I would have said fantastic.

    But watching miss after miss& I still don't know whymax would handball it off to melksham at that point.

    can’t see them coming back

    just need 2 goals and they are done

    Goody and the coaching staff are back!!

    Any danger of kicking a drop punt instead of this round the corner [censored] on the non dominant foot?

    Yep 100% agree woeful, wasteful and pathetic!

    I think he played Baseball. But I'll take anything. Even supplications to a higher power.

    Hopefully we have a good soccer training session this week to improve our goal kicking

    Aside from the general frustration, we quite obviously need percentage. If we win this we go to 11 and a win next week puts us in 10th behind freo, who has much better percentage. It’s a long season and position right now does not matter too much, but it WILL matter at some point. A 30 point win (presuming we win today), vs a 60 point win is a big difference, especially if you can string a few together.

    Let’s go boys, take that first half energy and momentum and turn it into some big early scores in the second half.

    It’s so frustrating watching a team do so much right but not capitalise on its opportunities. Hopefully we can convert better in the second half.

    Seems to struggle reading the ball.


    Time to move on from Choco and bring in a goal kicking expert. It has been our weakness for years yet we don’t make any changes.

    Absolutely and what a difference it makes. If he wasn't killing it everywhere, I'd move him to the fwd line.

    Do you know who the sub is please..can they kick goals... and is is it time?

    And Bergoglio was a more than handy soccer player.

    • 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?
