Two pw frees to the bulldogs up forward for a point then a goal.

They're up by 8.

Jetta back on.

It’s no surprise we are struggling to get our hands on it with so many of our best mids out.

    We are being run over. They are front and Centre, have better skills and are killing us around clearances. I know we are playing plenty of young ones. 
     

    if the plan is to score forward half goals, someone hasn’t read the script. No ball retention in the forward half. 

     

    Wow we got a free.

    WOW after 10minutes of footy, great supporter....not 

    Not even watching the game.

    I admire Vanders and loved the intensity and aggression he brought when the club needed it 6-7 years ago, but he hasn’t impacted a game of footy for over 3 years now and is 29 years old. Couldn’t be an easier list decision than to delist him IMO.

    Worrying signs around the packs, they always seem to have a free player on their backside that means a clean free run forward.

    Free to Frtsch directly in front 20m out.

    Goal!

    3 points down.

    Seems to be a set play to kick to Gawn on the wings with a second tall in behind. Gawn overruns and Tmac or Jackson take the uncontested mark.


    Gawn down for a second and I feel vomit coming on. Please take him off. It’s not worth the risk!

    The plus side is that we appear to have a functional defence.

    Nobody nailing down their round one spot so far.

    we've had less than half as many possessions and trail by 3 points

    With no midfield. We are lucky they haven’t scored with their opportunities. On the other hand we have done fairly well with limited ones.

    • 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.
