 Lockhart and Wagners showing a bit which is al least something

Wagners not in system long enough to know what not to do maybe !! Still have a little footy smarts .

They aren't the answer though.

    This just seems like 2007 all over again. Such a disappointment after such a great season. What happened

    Yep, its tough at the moment..

    Ahh yes…Goody's paddock. Empty our backline so the forwards from the opposite can do whatever they want. Not quite Pagan's paddock but it's a gameplan I guess?

    How was that not holding the ball to petracca, then nibbler gets dragged down never taking possession

    Awwww TMac ankle..

    McDonald ankle. This would be a disaster if our season weren't already a disaster anyway. 1 disaster + 1 disaster = 1 disaster. So there's that.

    Definitely both frees unrewarded.

    We have the worst fullback/centre half back combo in the league history

    Fixed :)

    Oscar is a [censored] spud! Amazing how he has already played 60 AFL games...


    Does our backline have a clue?

    It’s funny you say that, I made a comment back in 2017 I think it was that Hunt showed an X factor that we were missing and that it was probably because he hadn’t had time to learn to conform to a plan rather just trusted his instinct. He’s lost that now it seems. Fritch seems to be the same, not a shadow of himself from last year. Will probs be the same with these young blokes.

     

    No other way to say it we just have too many substandard players on the park. Kk, wagners, frost, Omac.

    McDonald injury just will provide another excuse

    • 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.
