The Blues season is on the line and their captain and coach have been in the firing line all week. If the Dees cough this one up the media's crosshairs will do a 180 and will surely be directed at the Demons who have only won 13 games from their last 25 outings. This is a must win game for the Melbourne Football Club too.

    Kozzie to ⭐️ on this special day… his 22nd birthday!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOZZIE! ❤️💙


    Better to let Grundy and BB do the ruck, give Gawn a break, he's tried.

    How Van Rooyen continues to get a game over BBB I find mystifying!?

    Why BBB wasn't put straight back into the Ones instead of having to do Re-Accreditation 101 equally so.  He'd had a great start to the year... can surely  bolster our (against top sides) pop-gun attack.

    It better not be close like last time.

    Time for fritta to step up tonight. Van Rooyen needs to show something & have no idea how Smith will go. Kozzie also has to do his role and actually contribute on the scoreboard.

    We need the win. Go boys

    Can’t afford to lose if we want to make top 4. Carlton are a rabble but we look like we’re running through trickle lately. It won’t be high quality.

    I think we’ll win but I ain’t confident.

    If we lose, it’s probably kiss goodbye to top 4 hopes.  We’d go into the 5th to 9th pack with tough games v pies and Cats. Don’t want 7-2 start to suddenly be 7-7 and outside the 8 🤬🤬🤬🤬

    I think we definitely win.

    But I expect them to come out pretty fired up with the media build up during the week and a fired up Patty Cripps

    Good morning gameday.

    Think tonight will be a tight slugfest with us getting over the line.

    I thought last week was a certain win but we kicked ourselves to a loss. 

    This week I reckon Tommo back will add much improved structure down back. I just hope we can find some structure at the other end.

    I have a feeling we'll kick away in the second half after a close start..

    Sadly though, a well earned attack of gout will confine me to The Manor. I'll be an armchair expert tonight

    You wouldn't be a Melbourne supporter if you weren't seriously nervous about this one!

    One point or one goal, I'll be happy with any margin!

    Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle… I’m not a Melbourne supporter after all!

    A lot’s been made of Carlton’s extensive injury list but it’s more quantity than quality.

    They still have their midfield class in Cripps, Walsh and Cerra which is better than our midfield that’s missing Oliver. Meanwhile Curnow and McKay can be dangerous on any given night.

    The Pittonet injury is the most significant for them, but having said that  Gawn/Grundy couldn’t take advantage of Jackson on his own last week.

    Carlton do not have a premiership player as a ruckman 

    we should win the centre ruck.  Win the smaller guys as well.  We win !

    Reckon we will go ok.  Sit someone on Sard wonder soap, win the middle and we got this.  Dees by a handy 33.

    Tells you where the Coach thinks BBB is at and he is probably not wrong.

    Not sure how our fwd line is threatening expecting a 20yo JVR who still learning his craft as our main power fwd?? So we need Fritsch to fire incl goals from Pickett , spargo & rotating rucks of Gawn & Grundy. what’s J Smith role a fwd very unconvincing..  BBB want improve @ Casey as he’s past improving so need to roll the dice with him

      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.
