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 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.
