Nope.

Oh nice!

Just when you think we might be making an effort we go back to good old Melbourne mode.


Nicholson would be a good ammos player... Oh wait...

How many times has Tappy done that!
 

DId it take being the sub to kick Bail into gear? Saved himself from being dropped today IMO.


Is hands in the back only paid in the F50?

My understanding is that it is only paid to other teams.

Didn't even have the ball


We have been very steely in defence for the last 5-10 minutes. I am happy with the way we have run out this game.

Trengove has lifted this quarter

A better effort today but it continues to highlight the number of players on our list who are not AFL standard:

Jordie McKenzie (non standard ability with respect to marking, kicking or thinking quickly plus he is slow - my 6 year old thinks he can handpass)

Daniel Nicholson (non standard everything except fitness)

James Sellar (not sure why he is on our list) and

Rohan Bail (God love and protect him but he does not have enough skills under pressure or even without pressure).

Unfortunately having watched Casey v Box Hill yesterday, the Hawks have at least 18 fellas with AFL standard kicking skills to bring into a strong squad and we have maybe one or two.

Our recruiting has been awful...

Sellar was good today.

  • 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.
