...I just want this season to end and the next pre-season to start so I can once again convince myself that we'll be better next year?

    Paul Roos has said as much. Unfortunately the draft and trade period are the best times to be a Melbourne supporter.

    Ah, renewed false hope...

    Btw, is it an amazing coincidence that I misspelled false and autocorrect offered me "Cale"?

    True story.

    True story.

    Pick 88?

    We've had plenty of draft picks exceed expectations. Bale, McDonald, Jetta. All low picks who are doing ok. IF only we could say the same about our first round picks.

    I am usually a glass half full MFC supporter, but I don't expect much improvement next year.

    The loss of Frawley will hurt.

    GWS and GC will improve, Brisbane appearing on the up, inclusion of Rich will help to.

    MFC will tail out with St Kilda, painful times ahead IMO.

    I'm sorry, but apart from the odd goal here and there, Chip will not be missed. The top 5 pick however won't hurt us.

    Happy in October, depressed in March.

    You think we'd be used to it by now.

    I turn on my own team as quick as they turn on themselves!

    I feel like I 'm turning into a richmond supporter.

    But I think the 400 odd a year I pay gives me the right to be [censored], when "professional" players can 't handball two metres or kick a goal from 17 metres out!

    Sad but the happiest time for Melbourne supporters is after the end of the home and away games, anticipation and optimism generated by the draft (and list clean out) through to new recruits joining pre-season training and into practice matches, after that its normally been all down hill until the end of the home and away games again where we rinse and repeat.

    • 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.
