We played [censored] football. Too many passengers. Dreadful disposal. Outnumbered too often.

Also we gave them a couple of Junk times so if that is Geelong's best on their own dungheap, I don't fear them on the G in September.

    We were run ragged.  Mid field over run.  Talls ineffective.

    Smashed in the clearances. maybe better with Weid and Mitch rucking. Gawn and Jackson more or less useless.

    Loading 😉 Every loss can be blamed on loading 😉

    Geelong made us look slow.....

    That wasn’t Geelong, it was the game plan and the narrow ground. It’s not rocket science why they make finals every year and then bomb out.

    I guess only tie will tell but maybe it actually is this "loading" stuff.  It coincided with the time of our slump last year.  I realise the whole season training schedule has been set back by 4 weeks due to our success last year, so maybe things will improve at the business end..

    Interesting Selwood said they feel like they were running on top of the ground. Sounds like they’ve timed their loading well. Better than us, anyway…

    They won’t smash us like that in the midfield again so not going to panic. But we’ve got some work to do if that’s our strongest team.

    Some players were a bit slow to the ball and we did not move the ball with enough purpose. If we play like that next week, Port will beat us.

    • 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.
