Trac you absolute star.  That's the way to grab a game by the scruff of its neck!

FFS Jones.   If you can't see a forward target then why call for the handball receive?  Then kick to nothing?

This is our most senior player, what hope do we have if that's the example?

2 goal turnaround FFS

Also he was running to his non-preferred side which was silly.

 

Take away their momention  

That is EXACTLY what we needed and need Petracca to be. Someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck when its in the balance.

    Why the hell do we drop off so much? 

    Its all mental.... need to fix the culture and expectation to what we do for the whole game, not in a burst.

    Is it premature to call Omac in for Smith next week...?

    Disposals been so sloppy

    Our kicking skills remain our biggest issue. Terrible

    We still can’t find a tall forward.

    Tmac still can’t mark the ball, and Jackson is too raw.

    Thank god for Petracca and Oliver

    Nope, Smith has been pretty disappointing in my books

    What happened to looking before kicking? Disappointed by the blind possessions that quarter. 

     

    1st = quarter 2018

    So far everything after that = 2019

    They are killing us in the centre and this should be closer.

    • 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.
