posters worries about injuries always make intrigue me you have just as much chance at training. ask poor Tom Green

Found myself cheering on WA. Not sure why, maybe seeing Daicos and Smith v Kozzi and Rivers. Great to see some footy! Origin worked for me. they went in, played hard. was a good watch

Bad Bunny not looking so bad now

played off half back and did well Could be a good move for him. Tackles well, good intensity and we lacks small backs

melbournefc.com.auIntraclub report | Young Demons dazzleCaleb Windsor and Matthew Jefferson were standouts in Melbourne's final intraclub.MIDFIELD speedster Caleb Windsor has again sparkled in a classy match simulation performance, continuing his red-hot training form at Casey Fields in Melbourne’s final intraclub hit-out. Windsor looked untouchable as he showcased his searing pace, albeit against an understrength midfield opposition with Gawn, Viney, Pickett all in Perth for State of Origin duties and Jai Culley and vice-captain Jack Viney sidelined. The 20-year-old former No. 7 selection has spent his first two seasons playing across half-back and the wing but could compete for a spot in the centre bounces in 2026. The electric mover combined repeatedly with Matthew Jefferson and Jacob van Rooyen in the first of three match-play periods, with both of the two young forwards kicking two first-term majors. Jefferson took a handful of brave, contested grabs including a soaring pluck over a pack of four opponents to round out the first period of action. The fourth-year forward gingerly regained his feet following the crunching contest but went back to convert and returned to the field to commence the second stanza. Jefferson soars at Casey Fields. Jefferson has showed plenty of promise throughout the club’s pre-season after breaking through for his AFL debut and seven games in 2025. Fellow first rounders Xavier Taylor (No. 11 2025), Xavier Lindsay (No.11 2024) and Koltyn Tholstrup (No. 13 2023) were all busy across half back as the club experiments with adding some class and youth to its defensive mix. Tholstrup is a strong spoiler down back. It’s a new role for Tholstrup who has played the majority of his two seasons across half forward and the midfield. The hard-edged competitor looked comfortable in the defence with his desperate efforts lending themselves well to the back six. Latrelle Pickett did his Round 1 chances no harm, pushing high up the ground from starting position in the forward line to provide plenty of gut run and linking play. The smooth mover is an elusive target and loves to take the game on with dash and dare. The elusive Latrelle Pickett. Veteran forward Jake Melksham got his first taste of intraclub action for the pre-season, unloading a 65-metre bouncing bomb to make his mark on the afternoon. Twenty-year-old key position prospect Luker Kentfield caught the eye as he donned a black facemask following an earlier pre-season clash, taking a handful of leaping contested grabs while rotating through the ruck and forward lines. Max Heath did his part as his opponent in the centre bounces, doing what he needed to as the one recognised full-time ruckman taking the field. Last year’s fourth-placed Rising Star finisher Harvey Langford showed his usual ball-winning prowess while rotating between the wing and centre bounces. Kade Chandler was zippy up forward and demonstrated some neat ball use to set up his teammates, with the under-the-radar Demon doing his job with little fanfare. Veteran defenders Jake Lever and Tom McDonald patrolled the back six and showed plenty of composure alongside their youthful teammates. A replay of the clash will be made available via the club website later this evening. YoPRO is feeding the Dees' pre-season progress.

Green was the one player the Giants couldn’t afford to lose. Massive blow Hopefully the pressure doesn’t get to Clarry too much

Must have had a big summer!

Anyone not cheering on the whites will be taken by ICE

The umpires are killing us!

The video is doing the rounds on FB etc and being well received “MFC have won the internet for the week” certainly the first time i’ve heard that quote!

MFC website and socials have definitely improved this year Keep it up!

Just listened to 30 mins of BB on spotify to see what the fuss was about. Was not impressed. Loved Kendrick last year but not sure about this guys talent level. Fun beat to dance to though. Happy for him to perform the SB though. he is crazy popular and it annoys republicans so all the better!

Good skills and workrate His consistency and concentration/awareness let him down.

Hope his personal situation is ok. Must be pretty dire to retire from footy with a contract All the best James. Thanks for the 100% you always gave us

growing up in Ireland in the 70s, I think it's fair enough to sing about your life experiences U2s music pre '93 was great but agree Bono got way to big for his boots and needed to learn to STFU

it was around 35 mins yesterday double the usual time

Agree with HT that it was a good spectacle and looks great on TV But the music itself was horrible. Loud beat and average vocals. each song undistinguishable from the next.

somewhere between 6th and 16th

Fans continue to write off Viney and he just keeps coming out and shutting them down. Players get injured but he will be back, as driven as ever He has averaged >20 games a season over the past 5 years

I was not a fan of the trade at the time but getting Steele could be an absolute master stroke especially with Viney injured

Lever needs to get over it A senior player still talking about disagreeing with the club 6 months after he was dropped is embarrassing You were playing poorly Jake (and/or were injured), deal with it. Show some maturity. Any player can be dropped I'm glad he is using it for motivation though

Why so many byes when there are an even number of teams?! Drives me insane! Impossible to get games in returning players or youngsters

Opposition small forwards would be licking their lips against that backline McVee gone and Bowey injured stings.

I've heard a lot of complaints on here about the quality on Kayo with pixelation and even interruptions. I want to cancel Foxtel but footy is the only thing making me stay. It would drive me crazy if there are streaming issues Can people confirm how common the issues are on Kayo?

Thanks for again setting this up again mate I look forward to selecting way too may Demons players and making disappointing trades
