Btw, further to the suggestion that a few of our players were unwell leading up to the game, Trac looked eerily pale when interviewed after the game🤮

In that clip about Rivers, the very last shot is him sitting down for the post match coach talk. I know he must have been exhausted etc having just finished a taxing game of footy, but he looks pale as ghost too.

That's the first of those electrifying moments clips i've seen that includes comments from a coach (i haven't watched any this season, so perhaps it's now a thing). I thought that was interesting as was mentioning rivers being crook (which i very much doubt he would have if we lost - exuses and all that) and that he almost word for word echoed Goody's post match comments about how proud they were of the players 

My read is the club was subtly flagging to fans there was some illness in the camp and that we too should be very proud of the team's performance.

There were multiple times that he seemed to be fanning or patting his chest, I think towards the bench. Like he was having trouble breathing. Does he always do that?

I dunno, to me Trac always looks moments away from both his legs falling off. He has this weird gait like he's suffering some sort of permanent knee/hip/back injury.

The amount of times I see him hobble off after a game thinking he's injured, and then he plays the following week and gets 30 touches is truly remarkable.

  • 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.
