That’s true. I don’t think they can replicate this.

Absolutely they can. If they get rolling again we won't stop them.

We can do this.

Reset, get our contested possession back in order and get our forward conversation right.

C'mon boys we still in this!

    Why aren't people talking about that decision to gawn. I mean that was a goal right?

    Melbourne just need to resettle.

    Well it's a simple equation for here. If the club is as good as we want to believe they are, they can wrangle this back.

    If not... well... we all know the outcome.

    Half time couldn't come quick enough. Defensively at sea as soon as the ball hits the deck, beaten around the ball and the Bont showing his class. On ball brigade need to lift otherwise we're cactus. 

    We're re-set before and can do so again. Huge third quarter coming up. We can do this

    Must stop Daniel behind the ball, need to man up forward side of ruck contest 

    Neale-Bullen's job from what I can see. (could be wrong).

     

    Fritsch has been poor the whole finals series. His kicking inside 50 has been shaky, keeps trying a kick running parallel to the goals and has missed it multiple times.

    ANB is surely the answer.

    Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.

    Few worries. Daniel and Bont for Dogs.

    Kozzie, TMac and May for us.

    I feel a big surge coming this quarter. This will sort the men from pretenders.

    Can't let Bont mark uncontested, surely someone can get a fist on the ball

    Oliver. Gawn and Petracca ofter play best in 2nd half. Someone needs to put chains on Daniel.

    Gee May is a liability, not flying for the ball, caught well behind, fumbling the ball.

    Nothing to do with Goodwin, all on the forwards who are actually out on the field. Forward pressure is supposed to be one of our strengths.

    I feel sick right now. I just hope we can get our game together, the system has worked and can work again but we do need to stop the quick ball supply into their 50. 

    And when we get it we must lock it in our 50. When we do that and get a look at goal, take it. Come on Demons, it is not over until it is over.

    They don't have the camera angles to review that kind of goal. The camera angle we saw is just in the wrong spot.

     

    This half time  has less atmosphere than mars

    That second goal was sickening.

    Naughton clearly ran behind play and cut off Viney.

    We need to be better than this and account for their tactics. How did they not study this?

    • 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.
