Petty - season worst game

Salem - lost all composure 

Hunt - not required standard 

Jackson - counted his money

Langdon - disposal was amateurish 

May - not his fault

Lever - poor under pressure 

Brown - an embarrassing performance 

Pickett - important but undisciplined 

Melksham - another inept display 

Sparrow - was he playing?

    Oliver/Brayshaw/Viney/ANB/Petracca/Gawn - Brave

    Petty & May : Damage done on way down but Brave

    Lever : Truth is a defence in a Libel suit.

    Sparrow/Rivers : work on skills

    Salem : NQR (Physically)

    Spargo /Kossie: increase involvement

    Hibberd/Melsham : Buy a watch (Their time has come)

    Jackson : not our worry it seems

    Brown : needs another forward

    I love the joeboy 3 words every week, so I won't criticise, I'll just give an alternative and completely fail at the three word part:

    Gawn - hampered, tried, taps still sucked

    Petracca - hampered, still a gun, moments of brilliance

    Oliver - tagged out of it, dug the terminator eye

    Viney - as joeboy said, had no influence

    Neal-Bullen - good first quarter, then standard nibbler

    Harmes - good overhead, but in the wrong place too often

    Brayshaw - one of the few contested winners for the night

    Petty - my man, superhero effort

    Salem - why can't he kick anymore?

    Hunt - missing too often, not a great defender, not enough drive

    Jackson - love him, but was wearing Chris Dawes gloves tonight (I also love Chris Dawes)

    Langdon - tried, honestly was decent

    May - just a gun, spent all day angry at his teammates though, wasn't the defence's fault, guy needs to chill

    Lever - 50/50 game

    Brown - yeah, that was pretty bad

    Pickett - love him, one of the few highlights for us, constantly dangerous

    Melksham - garbage

    Sparrow - just horrendous

    Fritsch - gave no pressure, reliable set-shot, unwilling to put his body on the line, disappointing overall

    Hibberd - was ok, couldn't expect miracles with the rest of the mess

    Rivers - messed up pretty much every opportunity, but he'll be better next year

    Spargo - too slow, can't kick 30m, not enough pressure, missed opportunities

    team overall - not enough pressure, too conservative, hella banged up

    coaching - what the hell is our attacking structure? We're so conservative that we're unable to score, reliant entirely on moments of brilliance from Kossy, Oliver or Petracca. Way too focused on not being scored against that we're completely unable to move it forward. Horrible to watch all year, even when we were winning. Sort it out. Lots to work on over summer.

    Don’t use tht phrase. Annoys me no end. What on earth makes winning the premiership last year any different, other.than the disappointment of diehard fans not being able to attend? Finals played in front of crowds. Full length games. I really hate this notion that last year was some sort of undeserved premiership.

    It was 1000% deserved but it plain sucks that they won a flag when we couldn’t see it. 

    And then a year later we get dished up a woeful finals series at our home.

    Yeah I agree, was using it in jest, but also to highlight the rubbish that gawn and co continually spewed earlier in the year about the drive to win it in front of the fans.

    • 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.
