    its good... but we shouldnt have to come from behind.....

    Hughes handed one here...

    Gaddy Lyon makes another gem of a point here. Matty Bate is back on the ground and has a hand in both goals we just kicked.

    The Bate nay-sayers starting to look stupid.

    I can't make head or tails of this game.

    The two sides seem to go in 5-10 minute bursts where they actually make an effort, tackle, and deliver, while the other side just switches off.

    Couldn't pick this one. If our defence plays more good footy than our forwards play bad, we'll get up.

    Davey got a tough knock. And Kennedy got a big knock on the cods. Not Sylvia was it? :D

    Green super tackle in front of goal!

    scores tied..

    Watts 2 contested marks a noticable highlight, as none of our players are really skilled in this area.

    sounds like watts is doing ok

    Just.

    He'e getting to the ball and doing just enough.... but our forward line is screaming for someone who can lead correctly. Not saying it's his fault, but we are lacking up that end of the ground.

  • Quote

    Half time

    Scores level - 5.5.35

    Better that qtr.

    Need to improve next half as we have in most of our 2nd halves this season. backline has settled and J-mac, as a captain has realised what needed to be done and just did it.

    Jamar really got on top that qtr.. along with him, bruce, molly, mckensie, grimes and the backline (aided by some shite wce shots at goal) provided us the spark to get back, scoreboard-wise, into the game.

    On form this season, theres no reason why we cant really go hard, every contest- and run over the top of the wce..

    As long as we come to play this half..

  • Quote

    Everything starts and ends in the middle. Jamar is playing well but our mids are struggling to get clean use of the ball so they bomb it in long to nobody.

    Good to see Wattsy take two strong marks and his roving effort in the first was beautiful.

    I'm sure the commentators are only talking about the pineapple though. Did they all die after he took that screamer?

  • Quote

    Like what I've seen from Watts so far. He was always going to be nervous and he's had some nice touches.

    I'm expecting us to continue to get on top of them and win by about 4 goals

  • Quote

    I may have been wrong with davey..

    still off the ground and looking uncomfortable

    EDIT: Bate too? Cheers DJL

    looking like the 1st qtr again..

    c'mon dees..

    wtf.

    EDIT: missing daveys skill, movement and poise across half-back..

    Can you tell Watts' starting position? Half forward?

    I think Melb has come back down to earth..

    Even if we kick five in the last quarter and get up, this is a loss for us.

    WC have no right to even be close to us. They're not good at all, we are a lot better, and most of all we're at the G!

    Shocking. Timely reminder for us that we're not going to be playing finals this year.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
