    We beat GWS, Geelong, Hawthorn and West Coast who made the 8 last year.

    Operations, Injuries and many players not having good pre seasons make a huge difference. 

    Brisbane had two players out of their total list unavailable for selection on the weekend. Remove five players from their team and see how much it impacts them.

    Yes, we’ve had a really bad season, players injured, no confidence, and even recruits injured. 

    Most likely we end up bottom 4, we get a good draft pick, probably capable of playing firsts next year, get any operations out of the way early, pre season for team starts early, we get a good draw next year. Pick up someone with speed and someone who can crumb in the forward line, and 2020 we’re back in business.

    2014-18 we improved each year, this ones a downer, but we can be in a position to go for top 4 in 2020.

    We lost to Geelong twice during the home and away season. We lost to West Coast in the Preliminary final. I can’t recall whether Hawthorn or GWS were in the eight when we played them in the home and away season. But mostly we only beat teams below us or not in the eight.

    Just thinking about the need for another rebuild is making me depressed.

    We've been impacted far more by injuries than any other club both during the season and in the offseason. It's not as bad as it seems and we have a core group of players that will make us a very good side for a long time to come. We will also have some good trade currency this year and I'd expect us to be busy picking up some outside pace and x factor.  Keep the faith.

    The club is too "nice" and I don't mean the players. Management need to fix their attitude first.

    Sure we can rebuild but the club have to set the rules. What happened today to Max needs management kicking Gills door in for a please explain and not accept anything other than Daglish or whatever his name is to go back to the WAFL for the rest of the season.

    We dont need a rebuild just a tinker. Where Melbourne has been bad is seeing the future. One should know where there list is three years in advance... they should have players developing in key positions before they are needed.

    • 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.
