Too many passengers today. Max, Kozzie and Lever the only players on their game. We need more from Oliver, Trac, Viney and Tmac. Ground ball work is sub-par. Not locking the ball into our I50. Come on Spargs and Nibbler.

Jones looks like an old man today. Pains me to say it.

The coaches will earn their wages at half-time. the Hawks will re-group and come out firing again.

A nerve shredder coming up folks

    On the plus side, we couldn't play any worse and are 2 points down.

    The obvious negative being we couldn't play much worse...

    Hibberd is playing well.

    Keeps his spot no doubt next week. In Jetta, Out Petty.

    Our forward pressure which has been a trait of ours this year is almost non-existent.

    What a pack of whingers these Hawthorn supporters are. Every free kick to us is apparently a travesty.
    We are holding up well and haven't allowed them to get off the chain. They have also done a great job in closing the game up. However, we need to get our act together on forward fifty entries. We need to find more run and dash heading in as the pinpoint, lead up game is allowing them to pick us off too easily.

    Not really. The chop of the arms was there. they have paid the obvious ones to us. It’s the 50-50’s that are not being called for us

    14 frees to 6 our way. Multiple goals from frees. Agree with those frees you're talking about but I dont think im that far wide of the mark.

    Lever is amazing and Max is great. Jones and Petty are shocking. Jackson needs to hold his marks. And it would really help they all could kick!

    We seem to have lost that mid to forward connection again! And set shot accuracy!!! 

  • Quote

    We seem a bit rattled and the Hawks brought it today. A bit of composure, clean it up in the second half and keep at it, then we should pull away. Need to respond and not drop the heads

    technically it was Hibberd for May, and Fritsch for Petty.

    but i see your point

    2 F50 tackles. No longer doing what has made the difference lately 

    Still time to tidy it up. Viney will come out firing after coping a low blow

    Hopefully he can fire them up

    Hawks are playing just as bad as us the only difference is our poor kicking

    Loving Jackson’s work around the ground. He’ll be unstoppable if he starts clunking marks more consistently.

    Spot on.

    And if Melksham plays like this for another half Ill start writing angry letters to the club again.

    I don’t care if it’s ugly. We just have to win from here. We’re killing ourselves with our skills which are WAY down.

    Legitimate teams win games like this.

    Just need to get it done.

    So May and Fritta are big outs in case anyone was wondering.

    A better quarter than the first at least. Backline just starting to get their [censored] together. Without much confidence I think we’ll get over the line but geeze if we play like this we’re in for a hiding next week.

    Really happy with Hibbo’s game. The biggest positive so far.

    • 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.
