HEADLINE: tomorrow in The Age, Herald Sun and The Australian

Tommorrow s papers will all have some views on why the Demons after three rounds are sitting at the foot of the Afl mountain, not only last, but unlike the other winless teams we have nt even been in a game after half time. These same papers during the off season/pre season all had there turn at proclaiming the Dees as the great white hope of the Victorian clubs.

So why has it happened. We ll read the papers tomorrow and get there view but im interested if everyone could (without throw away one liners) would care to put down their points of view.

I know its only round three and we made the finals last year after the same start last year. BUT this year is very different. Not just for the Dees but in my opinion the other teams have come along way this year. Carlton, Brisbane and Essendon are three good examples of this. Geelong look to be going in the right direction and Port are showing promise. All these teams missed last years eight and yet are playing far better footy than we are. there s no easy games this year and a mid season re surgence will be very difficult.

So give your opinion ( ill give my in a reply so this doesnt look like an essay and maybe we can unearth the problem/s and come up with some solutions. Because unlike Caro, sheean and the rest we love the Dees and it makes our week when they win and things get broken when they lose. I figure our opinion counts for something.

  • 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.
