Harmes will struggle to get a game. 

Until he improves his kicking he will be struggling to cement a position. Once he does though, he'll become an almost automatic selection, as he can find a fair bit of the footy.

    Petracca kicks his fourth to go along with his 20 touches.

    A number of the young blokes have played well ... Salem,  Petracca & Oliver especially.  Brayshaw has shown a bit when he's been on - got some class about him. 

    Viney,  Jones,  Gawn,  Vince,  Lewis,  Hogan all good & all our backmen have done their job too.  Vanders, Hunt & ANB all made contributions. 

    Some great signs.  The Blues never threatened. 

    17.14.116 to 9.8.62.

    TMac makes really bad decisions with the ball.  Cost us a couple of goals.

    lots of positives, but blues were witches hats.

    Wouldn't you know it. However they were gimmes and he only had 4 possessions. I do like him as a player nonetheless

    Our swarming pressure on the player with the ball and quick hands to someone in space out of a contest were the general highlights. Petracca played the game at a different level to all others today and showed he has gone up a level or 2 at least. Melksham rusty first half but very good second half. Our general transition out of deep defence is our biggest issue. Spencer proved he will be serviceable if needed to stand up during the year but I think we can put the two ruckman experiment away for round 1.

    DId you mean 14?

    To me the most obvious difference in our play is the quick sharp handballs which are not going to a player about to be tackled, or are so quick that he still isn't tackled.  Perhaps that is biased by only watching the game on TV.

    Other notable achievement ->

    Put an end to Carlton's season (well that's what one of their supporters just told me).

    Carlton weren't destined for much of a season ;)

    Good hit out and solid contribution from all. However, the McDonald brothers really need to work on their disposal and decision making. CP was epic today and if he can consistently play to that level then he could be anything.

    Oh, I was watching on the iPhone in Bunnings with the kids screaming in the play area.

    Bit distracted.

    • 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.
