    What's the Brayshaw injury?

    Viney kicks a much needed goal.

    Yeah what's with Bradshaw? I'm not watching and I just read he's injured and it's stressing me out!

    Don't mind the 2 rucks but Spencer up forward is a concern ... not sure we can throw him down back and we don't want to waste a bench spot which would otherwise be used for rotating the mids.  Jake competes well and he goes hard so that's not the issue.

    It's always ok to experiment in these sorts of games though so it's not a wasted exercise.  I'd expect Watts to come in sooner rather than later.

    Joel Smith looks the goods, good in the air and great tackler

    I have waited for the day that Melbourne players would get the ball, know exactly what they are meant to do next and be able to execute quickly and cleanly. We just look very even with everyone knowing what to do. Our ball movement out of deep 50 needs work (please move Vince up the ground) but otherwise looking good.

    I prefer to keep waiting big red. First match is still a few weeks away and at a ground that we have a woeful record on vs a team that has an amazing record there. Hopefully all that changes after Rnd 1

    His tackles are a highlight. Laid some absolute rippers.

    We have the wind in this last quarter.

    EDIT: Speaking of which, Petracca slams home his third with the wind behind it!.

    I agree Macca. I doubt he will get many opportunities unless Maxy gets injured (touch wood that doesn't happen). Probably just managing big Maxy's workload coming into the real deal more than an experiment. Big Spencil is handy in these sort of matches and VFL level but fairly immobile to play anywhere but through the middle, which is a luxury most teams cant afford to risk in today's game.

    We faded a touch, but mostly due to some dodgy umpiring decisions.

    The heat has gone out of the game DJ ... we've been very good and the only worry is Brayshaw - I'm hoping it's only a precaution as to why he's off.

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
