Melksham is putrid 

He’s the most selfish bloke out there.

    Wasn’t expecting this. Good effort but we really need to put the pressure on this quarter. This lead is way too easy for them to overcome.

    Thank [censored] they called against cuntington. He is usually given a longer tether than most

    To be fair, that’s the first time we have bothered to tackle him today.

    That is seriously one of the best goals I've ever seen from Kozi in that quarter. Not overly flashy but the work rate was absolutely insane.

    And usually dives forward for the "in the back" when he knows he's done.

    Jake Melksham has made me nearly put my fist through a window at least 7 times today.

    Can't stand the [censored]

    He delivered three balls on the chest that quarter. Not had a great game but it's clear he's better forward of centre. He's trying to create.

    Much better quarter Melbourne. Worked our socks off and levelled up the contest ball. Gives us a fighting chance. Luke Jackson more than did his job in those centre bounces. Hasnt been a good one from Maxy but a big last quarter will suffice.

    Tom McDonald has been good for us since he went back.

    Good move by Goodwin there.

    Goodwin talks about playing your role and sticking to your structures, but he gives this guy a free ride. The mind boggles.

    You and me both.

    My North-supporting mate put $100 on them at 14:1. Not looking like a bad investment right now...

    Let’s hope we both have no clue what we’re talking about.

    His work rate was amazing for that goal. Cyril-esque. Was worried the criticism this past week would have hurt him but he's responded.

    First goal super important. We get it and I think they give up and it'll blow out.

    Next few weeks it gets tough. The fairy tale was never going to last all season 

    We are now being Hunted. 

    Speaking of Hunt...he has been totally Mia.

    One kick....ZERO tackles.

    With Jv out and Oliver having a quiet day it has a huge impact.

    Thankyou Fritta and Kozzie and Langdon and Trac.

    Anyone know what happened to Brayshaw??

    Some half time moves and an increase in work rate and we look a lot better. Great to see the kids in Koz and LJ lead the way. Now surely they dont come back out on their heels thinking its done? Surely...

    Melksham’s role is to kick accurately 

    He did well that quarter. Helps us get back into the game

    Not quite as good, but similar in a way to Farmer's Goal of the Century. Took possession in theback half and gave and received all the way until a goal was scored.


    Fully expecting North to come out firing and red hot to win this. 

    We are still trash in the clearances. Sort this out and we win. Otherwise this will go down to the wire.

    He's not a mid fielder that's for sure.  High HF kicking inside for the hit ups is about it.  Doesn't pressure without ball and when it's on the ground good luck.  I'm not sure a team can carry that one major asset long term.  Or can they?

    Indeed. ?

    (I think it's going to take a few good years to get rid of my deeply ingrained pessimism when it comes to the Dees.)

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
