I don't normally quote myself -but when I do, I do it with smugness... ....and relief.

Personally I think it is useful to temper expectations. 
We’ve won our games by an average of circa 5 goals.

Irrespective of today’s opposition, if we win by a similar margin - or even 2 goals, I’d be satisfied.

If someone has said to me ‘before the first round - you can win your first 7 matches by an average of 5 goals’  I’d be taking it.

    All things considered, I’ll take it. Can we never play there again please. 

     

    I’ve never seen so many hack miskicks hit a target, I was convinced luck was against us. 

     

    Heartbroken for Tomlinson. Leave Tomald back there. 

     

    Kozzie and Fritsch kept us in it. Couple of cool customers. 

     

    Jackson outstanding. Gawn possibly drunk. 

     

    That’s about all I got out of it. Regroup, structure up, move on. 
     

    Tomlinson ?

    Pretty ordinary performance that they managed to turn into a win.

    Fritsch has 18 goals in 6 games...  if he didn't miss that game with  busted hand he would be right in the Coleman race.  Still might be (unless he gets suspended for that elbow).

    Nice to see a Demon player finally kick a bag.

    Yeah, it was ugly... very ugly.

    Winning ugly is one of the things we needed to learn to do, and this is certainly a start.

    7-zip is beyond most 'Landers wildest dreams before the season started. That alone is a huge positive from todays result.

    Lets just enjoy the view from the top for as long as we can.

    Thoughts are with Thommo.

    The most important thing is we got the 4 points.

    Fritter capitalised. Kosi was electric, Salem was solid. But geez not convincing at all. And to top it off, Tomlinson ☹️

    Weird to say it after a win, but we have to dust ourselves off after this and bounce back hard next week as the Swans won't be easy.

    But a win is a win, again, past Demons would have lost this one.

    The more games we play, the higher the margins have to be to keep it as high

    Mmmm, our defensive wall is a brick short. Bloody feel for Tomlinson.

    Good teams fight it out and win ugly, the Tigers game took a bit out of us. I’ll take the win. ?

    I'll watch the replay later but thankfully I didn't spend the game in the Gameday thread.

    Our percentage was 150% before this game. Today we scored 147% of North's score.

    Like a cricketer's average, today's percentage drags the overall percentage down.

    Because we were on 150% and would have needed to beat North by at least that percentage to keep it where it was. Something like 110 to their 73, not our 103.

    Only bad injury appears to be Tomlinson

    Well they tell me that that's what good teams do!!!

    So sad for Tommo.  Great to see the boys get around him during and after the game.

    • 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.
