I'll be very, VERY surprised if we win this. Collingwood just look primed to absolutely go nuts. Just like Freo. Brace yourselves fam.

That’s the spirit @praha

So it would be really great if trac, both browns & kozzie get busy this quarter

Just leave Kozzie up fwd.

    Too tall, M Brown should never be playing, Kozzie was passed by Oliver in a chase down… Sparrow still isn’t in good form, Trac is slowly getting better. 
    We need to a lift off those lesser players Fritta and M Brown getting marks inside 50 would help too.

    Correct, he serves no purpose, doesn’t crash packs and can’t take a contested mark.

    I would much rather Weid up forward despite his recent performances.

    Or JVR. Young and not ready but he gives a crack. Weid and Mitch Brown appear not wanting to hurt anyone in a contest

    Given the last few weeks and the fact that the Pies should be up right now, they'll be smelling blood in the water.

    If we don't come out firing, we lose. We look tired and it's going to take a few more games to get our mojo back. Today is about getting a win to settle things.

    Geez we look like a pale imitation of ourselves from last year.

    Harmes streaming into the 50 runs to 40m and doesn’t make the distance or doesn’t have a shot. I’m unsure which it was but I was sick to death of this from last week as well 

    Unforgiveable.

    really hope max is ok, need everyone to take the tackle pressure and intensity up a notch in the second half. Come on Dees!

    It's obvious from level 4 of the ponsford we are just not moving. We get the ball and the team is stagnant. No one leading into space. M.brown non existent

    Yep and this is the case in general around stoppages and in game play.

    A few too many handball receivers are flat footed but....this is also being brought about by one or two extra (unecessary)  handballs to a nearby player drawing further pressure.

    Too me this is a structural adjustment thing.  Get the outliers out a little further so they have a tad more time to change lanes after the receive & execute by foot or get the overlap going over the top by hand.

     

    Know it's been said, but missing May.

    Random cursing.


    We just have to find a way to hang on. We rely on Oliver at clearances way to much. Mitch Brown looks like an old man. 

    Missing Tom McDonald up in the forward line to.

    Gawn shouldn't worry about ginnivan. Don't even waste a breath on him.

    Got a spray from Ginnivan while in the hands of trainers ..didn’t like it max. Came for him at the bench. Hope he comes out steaming

    And yet, up until 2 weeks ago everything was going great. Is it complacency?

    • 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.
