What a rubbishy and boring game of footy. 
Must be time for a beer.

    Oliver's goal, again.

    Sick to death of his hot potato handballs to complete disadvantage of team mates, rather than taking responsibility himself.

    Nothing to see here though says @Dr.D

    Two absolute shockers so far


    How many years will we keep wasting forward opportunities with [censored] kicking and ball use?

    I what this season to be done. I’m over watching the same [censored] every week.

    Can they actually kick the ball instead of criss crossing the ground with hand balls. Essendon wait for the mistakes.

    Good seats, ****house game. 
     

    We look lost and jogging around the ground like a training drill. Good work all round so far.

    well they are certainly not playing like a team playing for a place in the finals, and quite frankly they have done nothing to deserve to be in the finals.

    Terrible quarter. Keeping them in the game. Fritsch can't kick for [censored].

    I'd be telling Fritch to lay off the next time he marks inside 50. His kicking for goal is costing us.

    I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

    Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

    Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

    Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

    OVERHANDBALLING ????

    Frittta ??and Spargo ?misses 
     

    We are shizzzzzzzn and dumb 

    get it right and we win !!! 

     

    Every week we have heard from the commentators about Melbourne's "stars".

    Most clubs would kill for a line of Gawn Viney Oliver Petracca, throw in Salem, AVB as well. 

    We just play such one dimensional football. We aren't getting the most out of these guys.

    We're playing alright. Just not finishing our work at the moment. Not panic stations yet

    Essendon are [censored] rubbish and we are making them look bloody brilliant with our pathetic use of the football, our soft tackling (AVB aside) and a non existent game plan. 
    Nothing is more predictable than Melbourne chocking. Nothing.

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
