Mitch brown 20 disposals and 13 marks..  this is the guy who was out of the side all season when we have been crying out for a big forward.

Our selection committee is pure rubbish.

    That was textbook Melbourne Football Club, except that we escaped with the 4 points.

    I'm just glad Trent Rivers hasn't read the manual.

    I've been out all day at my mother in laws outdoor birthday party, so a win has softened the blow. 

    Anyone out there happy to give a quick review from both sides of the coin on how we played? 

    Now over to Freo!

    Almost don’t want Freo to win watching that, you could easily picture an 80+ drubbing against the Weagles. 

    Still got the job done.

    Well, we won.

    Only played one good quarter but, to be fair, it was a good quarter.

    As bad as the fourth quarter was, our core players stood up in the final 5 minutes to get the last two steadying goals.

    Really impressed with Hunt's game, 4 goals a good reward. Gawn, Oliver, Salem, Petracca and Langdon all played really well. Weideman's stats won't show it but I thought his workrate was good and he created opportunities for us.

    No idea what Melksham adds to the side. Smith was towelled up by Stewart, he's just not a defender but he gets by because of May, Lever, Salem and Hibberd.

    Good: Brown. He's Pederson mk 2 - not particularly talented, but always gives it everything, and played a blinder today. 13 Marks. Wow.

    Bad: Melksham. How he made it through the year without getting dropped is staggering.

    Essendon are SERIOUSLY bad and we made them look like superstars for a quarter.

    Poor coaching again had us trying to shut up shop for 20 minutes, with a negative mindset which is just ridiculous.

    Dogs deserve the finals far more than us, it would be a travesty if we got through.

    • 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.
