    They really phoned that one in didn't they? 

    • Where are the dees at? Haven't made my mind up
    • Gawn, Grundy how is that going to work. Don't know.
    • Forward line could be an issue. Might be fine. Dees fans excited about JVR.
    • Off field issues last year. i'm sure they have been sorted
    • Straight sets losses last year in finals. Will that leave scars? Probably not.

    It is low effort content, but there's a very simple part of my brain that releases dopamine's when I listen to or read MFC related news, regardless of quality! 🤪

    But our forward line could be a major problem again this year.  McDonald has been poor since the middle of 2021.  Brown appears at the end and ANB and Spargo can't score.

    Great article. As is another (by the same journo) linked with that one titled, “Brothers in arms: will the Gawn and Grundy experiment work?” In particular, this…

    Definitely agree that in the second half of last year we played not to lose instead of daring to win. We need to get back to being ruthless.

    Barrett was commentating and standing next to Cornes who was wearing a Dees scarf after the 2021 GF. Cornes put one over Barrett who angrly pulled it off and tossed it on the ground.

    I wouldnt take much notice of him.

    Thanks for sharing. 
     

    I’m surprised fitness was summarily dismissed by Richardson. For me, we just couldn’t physical run out games in the later half of the season including the finals.

    as he says, kpis measured against other clubs don't support that

    this sort of article is great for the non-demonland user or non-mfc fan as it says a lot of the things being said on here last year throughout the season

    Interesting that Richardson said that van Rooyen was unlikely to debut in the round 1.

    • 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.
