Didn't realise Brayshaw and Oliver were late outs? 

I swear to god they didn’t touch the footy this game.

We are stuffed. We look completely devoid of any confidence and poise. Lost all our contested ball winning aggression. This season looks gone.

Jones is finished. I’m sorry mate but if you can’t snap for goal on your left from 40 out and even get it to the goal square then it’s time to move on.

 

I've lost my stream but sounds like they're out of sorts

Poor mental strength. It's either 'panic stations' or if they've managed to put together some nice play for a while it's 'all good now, so let's ease off'

DO WE HAVE A MIDFIELD OUT THERE??!!

Is Viney playing?

Nah, haven’t seen the real Jack for nearly three years now.

This is going to turn ugly, we are now playing without a midfield. 

Still not winning ball at the contest. Where's the hardness gone ?

 

Swans get 3 soft goals due to our fumbling turnovers. Max keeps putting it down Swans players throats in the middle & who is playing on Alir Alir? Make him accountable FFS.

    There fixed it.

    Mids need to lift.  No doubt about it. 

    On the flip side we took our chances when we were presented with them.  We haven't done that at all this season, so that was good to see.

    Our two way running still needs work, especially with their run and carry from half back.  We aren't playing well, but plenty of players can improve.  Not over yet.

    He’s doing a lot of faux tough guy fighting. 

    We have awful leadership.

    Sydney's highest score in 12 games is 93... we give up 34 [censored] points in a quarter. Hore and Fritta only two defenders that can hold their head high

    Our intensity is gone. Our midfield is shot. Our season is on a knifes edge here.

    We look a bit scared again. Don't want contact and crapping ourselves and going to ground constantly.

    Hate to say it but we've reverted to type this season...back to the bruise free Demons. Last year was an aberration on the physicality front (even then it wavered at times). 

    Seriously..... we just chip the ball into the 50 with no attempt to spot anyone up... no leads! Can’t understand it.

    Horrible start to this game.

    Pruess, Max and Hore look ok... that’s about it so far ?


    Letting Sydney score 5 goals for the quarter when they look as rubbish as we do. Well done. 

    How long does someone get to correct how easily we get scored against?

    Reckon Roos would take the job again?

    They watered the ground before the game despite it raining in Sydney for months

    Tactic!

    Our hands are woeful in the dry,  we're f...d in the wet

    We’re so reactive.

    WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS??

     

    They have almost 110 touches to quarter time. Double ours.

    They have 13 shots on goal from 17 entries. 9 scores from 17 entries.

    They have double our uncontested possessions. 

    They have 13 more contested possessions.

    Despite having so much more of the ball, they have laid as many tackles.

    That was an annihilation.

    To be fair, the kick was on his non-preferred, so it's to be expected.

    • 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.
