    The team can't run. It's the difference between a team that can run and a team that can't.

    4 day break.

    Rebuild time. Rip that band aid off. 

    Rebuild may be hard when we gave away our top 3 pick in this draft already, and our so clever recruiter thinks he is smarter than he actually is.

    What a joke. Jason Taylor needs the flick

    We could have taken Serong to. Absolute star, instead we take an amateur basketballer. Combo of Serong/Georgiadis would have been nice.

    The misery continues for members & supporters for well over a decade apart from one season which was another false dawn.. I just wonder how Bartlett & Pert expect members & supporters to be subjected to another failed season & expect $$$ from them!


    The tackling efforts tonight, particularly by our forwards and mostly by our mids, has been the worst I can recall. Maybe similar to the prelim, but that was mostly a case of us not having the ball. We've had the ball a bit in this game, but as soon as we give it up they run through us.

    Look at them still smashing our bodies. Insulting on so many fronts.

    If Melbourne wasn’t going to push me over the edge tonight... you’ve just done it. Congratulations.

    It’s a variable but not as much as you’re making of it.

    We've had a couple of false dawns in almost 6 decades. Don't waste your time. The Hawks will have a full rebuild and start winning multiple flags again before our blokes realise we have a coach who is taking us backwards.

    That's not quite the irrefutable response I was looking for to prevent a sink into tiddely winks...

    This is far more of a problem than gameday moves.

    I get people are frustrated but there is so much rubbish in this thread. There's plenty wrong with the club but complaints about Lever (possibly our best), Pickett (7th game) and Goodwin not flipping magnets is ridiculous and doesn't address the real issues: turnovers, gameplan, lack of leadership, inability to play football unless we win CPs/clearances, lazy midfielders.

    Pickett would look like a superstar if he was playing with Port tonight.

    We'll probably ruin him by mid season next year.

    Ah good one.

    If we play like this, all 17 clubs are better than us.

    Meanwhile the Dogs won a flag four years ago. When did we ever "go past" them?

    Can’t argue the 4 day break. But they only had one extra day. 
    We have no injuries yet we brought in a slow tall to help with the legs off a short break?

    • 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.
