This is what happens when you dont recruit speed over the summer.

    Its the first game of the season and we look done.

    I don't think it has anything to do with speed, dazzle.  It's more to do with workrate.  Lots of commentary around how we're coming off stuffed, while Port come off looking fresh and ready to roll.  At the moment we don't have the legs to run with them, speed or not.  That's a worrying sign.

    [censored] pathetic Melbourne! Nothing has changed over the summer!

    We are so slow and have gone into survival mode.

     

    Why is Viney playing if he can’t get around the ground? 3 touches and 1 tackle.

    Good composure from Wagner there.  

    And Trac kicking a set shot?  Is that a good sign?

    Wagner has been pretty good

    He has certainly shown that he could play more senior footy, and good senior footy, for us this year.

    their transition out of defense is destroying us. people say speed or lack thereof is our Achilles heal. It's not. The MCG is.

    sounds more like the problems of last year where for most of the season we pushed our zone too deep

    Getting bullied and killed on the outside by a bunch of [censored] kids!

    For how poor that second quarter was, outside of the last 5 minutes or so, we're still just 3 points down.  There is an absolute bucketload of improvement still to come from a variety of players, and a bake from Goody will surely rev them up a little.

    Their transition from defence has been terrific we we've generally had no answer for it.  We will need to find that answer quickly, otherwise we will find ourselves in a hole we can't dig ourselves out of.

    Salem has been excellent across half back, Fritsch is an absolute gun and Melksham is such a good player.

    We need Viney to life, Trac to get involved and to fire up as a whole for the second half.

    • 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.

    • 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.
