Legit I'd be embarrassed if Weightman or Hunter played for us.

 

Being beaten on every stat now..

need to get one or two more before half time and then see what the second half brings

Is Salem back on the ground

    Has the standing rule just disappeared?

     

    So many Dogs players sook for frees constantly.

    Another season. Another umpiring debacle. Absolute joke. Umpire 32 needs to take a hike.

    Worried about Salem, he looked pretty upset on the bench with his left knee on ice.


    I hate the rule, but so many times already tonight I’ve seen the dogs players jumping around and moving on the mark and yet no free?! Have I just missed a change or are the umpires just helping them out? 

    Great to see Neale here.

    Well we got back in it. Just got to tweak a few things. 

    It would be nice to see a grand final 2nd half performance

    Tough going that quarter. Hope Salem isn't too bad, looking like the walking sounded and it's only Rd 1.

    Need to get a few clearances, they are putting us to the sword every time they clear it.

     

    The AFL can’t seriously expect players not to complain when they’ve made the game so confusing to interpret, and then on top of that start the season being so consistently reactive to ‘new interpretations’.

    Ive watched footy for almost 40 years and I’m so confused.

    Edited by The heart beats true

    Jackson is still rusty. Bedford as sub is a tactical error considering we went in on be back short.

    • 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.
