What if May had of come to pre season fit?

What if J Smith had 've been taken off the ground rather than aggravate his groin?

What if McDonald & Weed were in form? 

What if Lewis wasn't so slow?

What if Jones passed the ball off instead of breaking tackles?

What if Clarry kicked the ball more?

What if Lever hadn't of gotten injured?

What if Goodwin tried a different plan?

What if he played Fritter as a forward?

What if he played Frost & Hunt on the wings?

What if the ladder was upside down? What if this season is just a nightmare & we all wake up 2moro morning?

What if.........?

    I look forward to seeing 'when' rather than 'what if'!

    He WAS taken off the ground.

    Did a fitness test on the boundary line, looked in agony, so obviously we sent him back onto the ground in a meaningless game.

    What if we held firm and demanded pick 5 off of Freo, and drafted Rozzee.

    What if we didn't sell the farm for Lever.

    What if Oliver didn't sh*t himself everytime he had the ball in close and dished it off like a hot spud.

    What if Petracca wasn't scared to take the game on.

    What if Brayshaw didn't turn the ball over so much and had penetration in his kick.

    What if we had two Christian Salem's.

    What if we didn't overrate Tom McDonald as a forward. He isn't a forward's a-hole.

    What if Gawn was an effective tap ruckman.

    What if Goodwin could coach.

    What if we dropped Lewis back to the VFL - where he belongs.

    What if Hibberd went with him.

    What if we had of kept Bernie Vince.

    What if.

    What if we all just accept this year is a write off as disappointing as it is.

    What if we all stop blaming our coaches & players.

    We'd still be slow?

     

    The sad fact is that some of those were preventable (recruiting Lewis, who Cornes reckons would not have been offered a likeable deal by any other club) long ago.  Lewis didn't suddenly slow down over the pre-season.  He was slow when he walked in the door.

    The other sliding doors moment happened during the finals in 2018, where Scott and Geelong totally revamped their stocks (youth, talent), where we were comfortable beating slow teams on the G.  In contrast, we traded our way out of the super-draft, and paid big money for icing rather than cake.

     

    When this club has review at the end of 2019, all it had to do was read the preview here in the past few years.  That is the sad reality.

    • 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.
