    The game where it became obvious Mark Neeld could not coach

    ... and the meeting between the clubs before that was at the G in round 1, 2011 when the two teams drew and before that when Melbourne won by 12 goals.

    Seems like ancient history now WJ

    I remember reading our team on paper before the match and not knowing one reason why they couldn't not match it with the Swans. Especially considering a similar group dismantled them not long earlier.

    Mark Neeld was trying incredibly unsuccessfully to employ a gameplan that sucked anyway. A gameplan, that even if done well, would see us wasting the set of individual traits on our list and still losing anyway.

    From that game on I was waiting for the next Melbourne coach.

    Not only will we have a different coach, but half the team will be different. Seven players named on that day are no longer with the club and another five are questionable because of known injuries (Grimes, Blease, Jamar, McKenzie, Clark). In addition Magner can't be picked if Grimes is.

    are you getting confident?

    should we prepare 4 points?

    This will be Melbourne's best test since Neeld's departure.

    If we can remain competitive with the Swans for 4 quarters, we are most definitely on the rise.

    I'm excited for this game. I know the boys can do it.

    I was at the game in Sydney last year - got royally rolled.

    Can't help but feel that we will get rolled again this year; particularly with Tippett in.

    Happy to be proved wrong

    It grieves me to say the following because i go on and on about winning is the only thing and anything less is only a loss.

    However after our performances over the last 18 months I will be happy with a low level loss.

    i.e. anything below 6 goals will prove to me that craig is improving the side and I will be happy.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
