Chins up folks. Now that our backs are really against the wall, and that the umpires no longer pay a 15m/50m penalty for running over the mark (or the rule doesn't exist...or it does exist but has only ever been paid once) I look forward to us going 0-7 before storming home to surge into the finals with real momentum to win the flag. As history showed with our defeat of the eventual '87 premiers in the '88 prelim., we would have won the flag in '87 if Jimmy hadn't been penalised - and please shoot yourself before suggesting that Buckenara would have kicked it anyway. Bring it on.

    The big difference, notwithstanding that a finals surge does somehow occur, is that in 1987 the boys had a 4-3 basis on which to build after 7 rounds. Another difference is we're sadly-short of emerging stars to bring in.

    Actually we wouldnt have won tghe flag in 87 had we gone through - Flower, Wilson and one other would have missed through injury and Carlton thrashed Hawthorn in the GF

    We did beat Carlton THREE TIMES in '88 ,including in the finals, without Flower(who ,I have it on good authority WOULD have played in the '87 GF).

    We were on an incredible high at the end of '87, and Hawthorn were punch-drunk after their lucky win against us in the prelim. We'd have given Carlton a bloody good battlein the GF.

    • 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.
