Round 1 team and thoughts

The pressure is on our midfield.

But more than that it is on our leaders.

Green, Davey, Jamar, Moloney, Jones, and Sylvia will be the ones to spend a great deal of time in our midfield.

The expectation will be on them.

Our leaders consistently disappoint and this is a great opportunity for the ones who the younger ones are supposed to look to actually earn that focus.

Let's hope they can do it.

Spot on.

Quelling and outperforming the likes Hannebery and Jack etc will also be part of that equation.

This game will be won and lost out of the middle.

    We played in a GF in 2000 with Robertson at CHF and Bizell at CHB. That's pretty short!

    Bizzell came to the club in 2001. In 2000 we had Neita at FF, Ox at CHF, Ingerson CHB, Nicholson FB. Hardly a short spine!

    I just can't see us matching it with the top 6 or so teams on any given day.

    Wow, just like last year with Collingwood x 2, Bulldogs and Sydney.

    so on that theory, Collingwood will win a premiership after a draw, Melbourne will just miss the 8... it is 2011 not 2010, new year new team and new rules, who knows what will happen.

    That's pretty much the midfield from 2008. Very nervous about that. Swans are quicker then thought so hoping Jones Moloney get caught out.

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
