    Gee we're looking better this week.

    our forward line looks dangerous.

    Now for four quarters of this and we should crack all 25 of the port players

    Relatively good first quarter compared to our expectations. 2 tall forwards is clearly our best setup.

    Our midfield is in disgusting form, which is the key reason we're in a flat patch right now. Trac tries to do too much and Clarry is also below his best. Viney is a massive worry.

    May immense.

    35 to 21 according to my stats

     

    The umpiring is atrocious! How can you get a free kick when the guy falls over into Tmacs knees and he was trying to get out of the way! Motlop’s throw for their second goal!! I am beyond frustrated

    Funny not one commentator has said anything yet the game against the Dons which was nowhere near as lobsided got a lot discussion.


    I think we started well, and I’m really glad we got reward for effort as I thought we were the better team.

    The game style against us is now obvious. Short chip kicks through the zone. Try and tire us out defending. Makes our stoppage work super important.

    Amazing the difference when we win the centre clearances. The last 3 were great. 

    Just our field kicking has been off. Viney needs to be better in that department. 

    Salem started well.

    9 more uncontested possessions so unsurprising.

    Should have been below the knee if anything.

    Yeah it flashed up on the screen thought it was the whole quarter, but was just for the last 10mins of quarter.

    Best start weve had in weeks

    8 frees to 5. 

    so many not awarded to us and heaps of theirs simply not 

    Gotta admit these maggots have no shame.


    We’re switched on which is good. BBB not involved yet but another tall in there clearly is helping with structure.

    Brayshaw's tackle pressure is up but been pretty dumb giving 2 costly free kicks away. Needs to be a bit smarter but a good start. 

    Charlie Spargo is so good at the toby Greene move.

    Ah yeah just saw that that, thanks ?

    Teams try to control the ball rather than bomb it in to lever and may.  Probably makes that stat lopsided

    I know because I was swearing at the TV and then realised it was only 10 minutes ?

    • 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.
