Some players are having bad games. 

Good. It gives them focus to train out those deficiencies in the coming weeks. 

Video to be studied very closely.

He’ll struggle to get a game this year.

I feel like he'll be on the bubble every game, but won't get dropped once injuries start.

Brayshaw probably to the main offender, which is annoying because he is a ball magnet.

Yes, his disposal hasn't been good so far today, but I'll put it down more to it being the first half of real competitive footy for the year than anything else.  His disposal isn't always that flash regardless.

The Wagners and Hore don’t look up to it.

I thought Hore looked alright myself.

    ANB also very ordinary 

    You are just realising that now?

    Richmond winning in the air and on the ground. Who is 38 for them? Killing us in the air.

    Is number 34 for us Hore?

    He has done ok INHO.

    Poor disposal from gus, nibbler, JKH and stretch hurt us.

    RIchmond spread brilliantly and opened us up. 

    I have not seen Dusty up close before. I now see why he is so hard to stop!


    Steady on guys. Even Winx gets beaten in barrier trials!

    They moved dusty onto the ball that quarter and the whole game changed immediately. 


    that midfield combo of oliver, brayshaw, and harmes with trac and salem coming in would have to be one of the most exciting group of 21-23 year old mids i've seen

    shame gus can't hit a target and trac can't kick a set shot

    they're basically full strength, and when they had the centre square combo of martin, cotchin, prestia plus titch edwards coming in they were so much stronger than the group that we had up against em, which at one stage seemed to include stretch and jkh

    And for all that, we're on level terms at half time.  Funny that.

    Who would have thought that playing two Wagners wouldn’t cancel each other out? 

    Petty looks promising. 

    Oliver quite possibly could be the GOAT.

    Just wait till we add Viney back into the midfield mix with Gawn knocking it down they're throats.  It will be orgasmic to watch.

    I had a feeling that the rotations through the midfield were biting us.

    Richmond were doing their flood dump kick attack that quarter.

    Weeds seemed to get caught under the ball a few times.

    We need that tall option to take the contested marks

    We’ve shown lots of promise for an exciting season ahead for mine

    FMD!! I'm reading some negative [censored]. It's half time in a [censored] JLT match FFS .Settle down lads.

    Bit bitter but optimistic, wouldn't you say?

    There wasn't much else to say about the second quarter. Just sucked. Nothing much more you can say. Noones slitting wrists.

    IDees very ragged and being belted at ground level. And sorry  to say but Petracca looks slow, overweight and not that interested.

    • 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.
