    Umpires need a crowd baying for blood to pay a HTB apparently.

    8 metre kick paid a mark. To them of course.

    That's being generous! I thought it was about 40cm. What a joke.

    We are so unclean by hand and foot. 

    As we've seen many times opposition looks better but don't get away. Will turn I reckon we've done it often

    The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.


    They’re playing better footy. Positive is we’re still very close due to their inaccuracy. Need to be tighter with ground balls and tidy up the kick before the entry into 50. Can’t bang it long due to their spare behind the ball.

    Inside 50 efficiency - them = 51.9%, us = 25.9%.

    We need a proper forwards coach, instead of Stafford doubling up his duties.

    Well, we're not playing well and certainly have a lot of improvement left in us for the second half. In that context we're doing well to be within 4 points.

    I don’t understand the holding the ball rule. Hawkins took on 2 players and got caught red handed.

    Its the one rule the AFL need to fix as there’s far too much interpretation based on context and player involved.

    Outplayed, insufficient first options, turnovers. Remarkable that we’re so close on the scoreboard.

    • 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.
