And people wonder why I can't stand Harmes..

The bloke deadset thinks he's Dusty.

He’s turned into the ANB of years gone by, always present but never doing anything useful

    2 arsey swans goals from blind Melbourne handballs in the last line of defence.
    But we have to start winning it in the centre or we won't win this match.

    McDonald, Hibberd, May, Oliver, Langdon, Jackson all good this quarter.

    The rest have a long way to go.

    Centre clearances as per footywire...six to one against.

    We should be three goals down.

    My goodness.

    Put Jackson in the ruck. Do anything. That is rediculous.

    Our defense from spillages is average. They are getting goals there, not from set shots.

    We need to tighten up on this.


    ❌ poor disposals to turnovers Harmes Trac Oliver Jordon 

    ❌ Maxy 

    ❌ umps (Kozzy being held all quarter)

    ❌ allow Lloyd and Rampe free across backline 

    ✅ accurate goalkicking

    Beat me to it.

     

    Can’t be this bad at clearances and expect to win. 

    Jordon and Harmes getting plenty of it but turning it over with aplomb. Real problems with both of their decision making. 

    Brown’s leading and follow up work better than last week.

    This is true and poor umpiring.


    They’ve mentioned a few times on the coverage we’ve not had intercept marks which is a big key for us.

    Get Kozzie into the middle for a short stint and let's win a few clearances.  Then forward again to do his best work.

    Back again in short stints when needed

    Some terrible kicks, is there something wrong with the ball


    Cant remember Gawn playing 5 bad quarters in a row. Has he had too much bathwater?

    Brown and McDonald starting to work well together in the space of the G. Loving it.

    • 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.
