They where talking about melbourne after the game and they reckon our topline players like Travis ,Bruce and others dont get their own ball but rely on the second tier players to feed the ball to them and when this is not happening we fall apart DER FRED ! .

Well its time to reassess the whole show from coaching to players what do you all reckon?

 

well for a fact that is [censored]!!

how about everyone stops havin a dig at cameron bruce...im fed up with the negativity towards him!

he has been our best player 2 weeks in a row....he had more CONTESTED possessiojns today than any other player on the field!! he also had 30 disposals!!

so how can it be said that he doesnt get his own ball....his disposal isnt as bad as people say either and he did so mauch brilliant work today, i commend his effort today!!

he tried so hard to lift the team but they just dont wanna lift

Agree 100%. As for 3AW, they are a bunch of know-it-alls. When we win next week, they will praise everyone for getting their own ball. Bruce and Green are often said to be outside players who never get the hard ball, but both are hard players who will go when its their turn. Anyone who disagrees is full of it.

 
What did you you see today that so convinces you we will win next week?

Figure of speech. Whenever we win, they will say it. The media are full of crap, they make things up on the spot to sound good.


...3aw are absolutely correct and so are the commentators on 774 who said exactly same thing.....starting to see a trend perhaps?

Take of the rose coloured glasses and you have the reason why the club was beaten by 10 goals today and should have been beaten by 20!

None of these players would get a guernsey at Port, Brisbane, Adelaide or WCE. But that's why they win Premierships...even their best are expected to do the hard work.

disagree. Bruce gets the hard ball and was in the top 15 or so for tackles in the comp last year, greeny doesnt get as much hard ball but who needs to when he can run and posesses the skill he does, a good leader too. interesting to see if Brock or brucey or Greeny gets captaincy once Neita retires.

....his disposal isnt as bad as people say

Stop dreaming Demonboy13

Cam Bruce cant kick a footy to save himself & while we are @ it either can :

Ben Holland

Brad Miller

Simon Godfrey

Nathan Brown

Nathan Carroll

Daniel Ward

These blokes make Earl Spalding look like a decent kick

God Bless The Duke - One of my all time favourites.

    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.
