Back to kicking long without looking, while they look for leads. Who’s up the top again?

 

This is hallmark loss from Melbourne.

    So hard to watch.

    Hawks have turned this into a scrappy Auskick game and it's working

    Any chance we can hit a leading target inside 50 or on the Arc???

    No chance we bomb it and it 3 talls fly for it and spoil each other

     

    u guys should block me coz im gonna come so hard for all the people that were talking about top 2/top 4 etc. despite a body of evidence that shows we have a soft underbelly. 


    Look at that.  One kick to the 50 hits.  Then another on the lead between a pack of 5 defenders.  This has to be the worst game we've played this season.  Just ahead of the Pies and then GWS.

    We'll be lucky to make a PF.

    We are just bombing it in our 50 and going back to handballing

    Our backline hasn't been great tonight. 

    And you wonder why we don't get talked up as premiership favourites. 

    The players attitudes have been pathetic.

    We do that ourselves.
    Not enough class to slice anyone apart.

    They’re working harder and they’re hungrier. We should come out breathing fire this quarter and instead were barely giving a yell. They’ve  won the quarter on the scoreboard and they’re leading the tackle count 24-9.

    Now panicked settle in, a game we controlled we now are in trouble of losing

     

    Oliver complaining about an umpiring decision while the play is still going, Hawks goal.

    That's a microcosm of our attitude tonight.

    • 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.
