Well done Milkshake.

    When he arrived I was told by a football expert that he was a "Complete Spud"

    Who's the spud now :)

    Melksham played a pretty dominant first half against Richmond earlier in the year when he was put in the midfield, might still be our leading clearance player (as a very small sample size of  % of time in there) -  We obviously have needs in the forward-line, but i'm just wondering if Melksham along with Petracca can add 1 more dimension to our midfield that could push us into an elite category next year.

    We obviously plan to target Langdon, probably won't get Hill, so i'm still thinking that we're going to be 1 elite midfielder short of being an absolutely elite midfield again. Clubs are targetting a Coniglio say, so if we're not going to add a player like that in there. Who exactly is going to fill that void? This year has surely taught, inspite of injuries, that we're still lacking in that area imo.

    What are your views on Oliver, Harmes, Brayshaw and Viney? Do you think between their chances to improve as players we can’t form an elite midfield? I’m a bit suss on Viney, and kinda worried about Angus, but I think with an in-form Milkshake and those other guys firing, our problems point almost entirely to the forward line.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
