Probably take a few games for most to reach full match fitness with the longer quarters and run off a few excess gym kilos of muscle (for some).

It is extremely hot. 

Yes agree guys, it'll definitely take a few games off shorten pre season.

 

Still flooding the contest and no one out. Dockers killing us in clearances because of it even though we are winning tap outs.

    Dear AA selectors,

    That guy who is owning the game in the back half with 500 metres gained? Number 1?

    His name is Steven May.

    That name again.

    Steven May.

    Cheers. Enjoy the game.

    Harmes should go to Fyfe & get Hunt forward. He is hopeless down back.

    Is he keeping Fyfe a little quiet though?  We don't need to see much from Hunt as long as he achieves that.

    Harmes looks much happier and more at home back up forward again.  I would not mess with the 'present' winning set up.  Unless Fyfe manages to get off the hook

    Petracca needs to lift for the 3rd qtr. Way too quiet in that second qtr.

    Even with a new midfield coach.

    Not sure these mids are ever going to get it, not in their DNA.

    Same old same old. Still too many players who just aren't reliable when the ball comes near them. Hunt, Harmes, Tomlinson etc. Jetta off the pace.

    Clayton Oliver - surprised to see he'd had 18 possessions. Needs to do more damage.

    And on today's performance, I'd be playing Daw (if fit?) over Jackson, who just looks a bit lost.

     

    They said Jackson went into the rooms early in second QTR I think.

    Not sure if he's got a niggle.

    Yep, we just still have passengers though.


    happy to be in front but apart from may and lever really uninspiring sloppy stuff. i didn’t think it was possible but, even from the low base we started from,  we’ve gone backwards in our clearance work. hopefully an improvement in the 2nd half.

    Why do we continue to handball to players under pressure? Drives me mad.  Have we learnt nothing?

    Agreed, although tbh I’ll take a Round 1 win any way it comes.

    Rivers disposal is deplorable today. Nothing is sticking.

    • 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.
