Think the most disappointing thing about this game so far for mine...

... is all those empty seats!

We'll get back on track. I have faith.

30 degrees at the MCG.... fitness will be a big factor in this second half

My MFCSS tells me we're not the fitter side.

Hope our skills make up the difference

Feels strange sitting at the G watching the footy and wearing a singlet.

Sorry Eddie, it’s not a very silvertail singlet either.

Cmon Dees, get your system back.

    How many times have we seen an NQR Viney come back too early in the last few seasons? 

    • Shocked 1

    Can't say I am surprised. We looked exactly the same in the JLT. We look very one paced in the midfield.

    Still in it. Just need to start being a bit cleaner with the ball and get it back on our terms.

    Yeah been pleasantly surprised about Sparrow, thought he'd take time settling in VFL before debuting.

    Has not looked out of place.

    Off track may be part of the issue.  The Met off track that is.  

    Imagine the prospect instead of a crowded train after the game, a bus ... how many will be needed and how many will be available.  

    I know people who did not come for that reason.

    We’ve had a great run with the umpires.

    Thought they've been generally poor overall, despite the numerous rule changes and clarifications

    If we can't win with them playing J. Watts in the backline then I'll be really worried. Only a kick in it and we've not played well with lots of the side down. C'mon lads lift.


    Gawn should come out for the first ruck contest stick the leg in and win the contest. 

    Im sure Goodwin will structure us back on track. 

    Big big 3rd quarter coming up

    18 frees to 8 our way. Once the eveners start getting paid we might find ourselves in some trouble. Our guys look very tired already and they are fresh. Not great after the first 15 mins. 

     

    Time to lift boys 

    It's probably even already from when we last played in Adelaide

    Harmes just had a spew on the field when he came out after half time

    That's a good omen he's sick to his stomach with what we dished up that half.


    Great kick from Trac, and smart from Melksham.  Let the captain kick the goal to get us going.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
