If anyone’s complacent about Melbourne’s game against the Swans next week then think again. They gave us a flogging in Round 22 last year so we shouldn’t take them lightly

Yet again, half of our side will be different. Also, the incentive to win is more than somewhat heightened compared to where we were at late last season.

They might have given us a flogging but look at our team then! No May, no Weideman and no Langdon, just for a start! ?

Our tall timber had been felled at both ends, I daresay we're in significantly better shape this time around. That said, the Swans have dished us out a regular heartache for a decade or more; so we certainly need to bring our A-game.


Eight Demon players from the above team won’t be playing.

Swans look weaker this year.

Still need to go in full bore this Thursday, and run like hell, to shut Swans down.

Sydney Swans Injury List

Kaiden Brand (groin) —  1 week
Lance Franklin (hamstring) — season
Isaac Heeney (ankle) — season
George Hewett  (back) — season
Jack Maibaum (personal) — season
Sam Naismith (knee) — season
Dane Rampe (hand) — season
Harry Reynolds (shoulder) — season
Ben Ronke back) — season
Ryley Stoddart  (back) — season
Elijah Taylor (suspended) — season

Still won't be easy but they have a few good players who are injured

  • 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.
