easier to lead when they're not being bombed in.

True but it’s a bit of both sometimes. Lower the eyes and find the kick but make the lead so they have something to kick to as well. 

Need to compose ourselves and get the win. They are a man down so we must capitalize.

    Ok we still have the lead. We just need to go back to what we did well in the 1st half. Hold on Melbourne we can win this. WE have lead and dominated all night.

    I hope the missed chances don't cost us.

    We need to come out with a quick goal.

    JKH has to go at year's end. 

    Some of these blokes like JKH and HANNAN have come from long injury layoffs, need a bit of slack.

    They better PTFO or they will get rolled 

    Wasteful shots on goal that quarter

    Come on Dees!!

     

    We had chances to kill the game in that quarter and failed to finish our work. But although I feel like the umpiring has been pretty average both ways, Harmes is being held at almost every contest but it keeps getting ignored. So many times he was clear and the hold just gave the crows the chance.

    Dominating this game and we're 2 goals in front.

    Hope we click back into 2018 mode again in the last


    Tom lynch with 11 marks.

    Havent had a player in our team take double digit marks for eons.

    Trac good effort with 7.

    Oliver and Viney quiet that qrt. 

    Good to see the boys prop and look b4 going inside 50.

    Good signs from Baker.

    another quarter like that last and we will lose this. we should be 6-8 goals up. i am not a fan of the zoning, it works when the opposition makes mistakes but when they dont they get a free run into their forward line.

    Are you being serious?

    Just a coup,e of minutes ago i i heard the ABC radio commentators giving him a big wrap. Yuo know, paid objective observers 

    Doing his job. Again. Laid a couple of crunching tackles late in the lst quarter too which should satisy his critiics who think he is not aggressive enough

    Watch with your eyes not your confirmation bias. 

    He's been average. With all the good work, there are still some pretty basic and recurring problems (such as losing sight of his player at crucial moments). I'm nowhere near as harsh on him as other people are here, but with the players coming in it's a legitimate question to ask.

    JKH's disposals are garbage.

    I know some here are commending his efforts, and yeah sure he's trying, I just wish he'd hit one of our guys on the chest, or even within 5 metres.

    He is like a rabbit in headlights. That kick in2 the man on the mark - it was waist high. Earlier in the game had a snap from 35 & it fell 10 short. He lacks penetration with his kicking ways has. People criticise Spargo ' s kicking but Spargo is a better kick. 

    It is a worry that Clarry drops off a bit and our contested ball rate goes into the bin

    Agree to an extent, mostly Hannan as he has some record. But I'm forgetting when JKH was ever good? My recollection is that he was always fringe, struggled to get a game, and when he did, he usually spent his time coughing up the ball with garbage disposals. And that's what he's doing on his return - Seems pretty consistently poor to me. But I'm happy for someone to show me the JKH highlight reel. I'm seriously open to having my mind changed.


    Serious question , why does Viney always try the blind underground handball out of backs. Just take the tackle and force a ball up

    Yep, needs help to break the Gibbs tag. Blocking, etc.

     

    p*ss off Oscar, jesus christ.  That was an easy spoil FFS

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
