Hopefully next time we get the wind behind us we will be smart and kick more than we handball.

Nice work from Gus who put himself in the perfect spot. But snuffs it. Gotta nail those.

10 second display of why Melksham will never get dropped

    Brayshaw could've had a hand in 2 as well, but missed. 

    Disappointing finish there.  Should have kicked that.

    Pretty average start but, hey, we lead.  Lots of improvement still to come and we generally start slow.

     

    Surely a 50 against Papley for being in Brayshaw's protected zone?

    He should have kicked that regardless, though.

    We played poorly but have a 3 point lead. Question is whether the breeze will cause us grief in the second quarter.

    Hope we don't regret missed opportunities now that they have the wind in the second,


    Anybody noticed Brayshaw has a subtle physical similarity to Rod “Tilt” Carter? 

    Midfield. It’s all about the midfield. Swans are playing a spare down back so unless we can win some clearances we will keep battling a congested forwardline which Sydney love.

    Hopefully Weid can get a touch soon.

    At least we rallied late.

    Why does Melksham give away lazy head high frees all the time????

    Great pressure from Sydney then. They’ve got the matchups right so far. Goodwin will have to make a change or three to make a break.

    Will he do it?

    Alarm bells ringing for me we don’t look switched on at all soft tackling, back to just bombing it in and mids hesitating with ball in hand and getting caught or smothered. This quarter against the wind will be a test of how much we want this.

    Bit hard when our forward 50 entries have been abysmal.

    Spargo. Great snap but that was Wagners goal. Great pressure/spoil

    • 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.
