Van Rooyen isn't the answer for a backup ruckman 

Been real good as a ruckman. Not sure what you are watching

    We are playing a different style and our poorer skills and decision making is laid bare. 
     

    Need to get the lead and lock the game down. 

     

    They look too polished unless we lift

    Don’t usually post in the game day thread but that 2nd qtr effort was disgusting. Brisbane are hardly the toughest & they smashed us around the footy. We looked soft.

    Without Petracca it feels like we’d a bottom 8 team.

    Agreed. Giving us good use with his second efforts. He’s really not bad.

    Spargo deserves an absolute roast!

    Gave Brisbane all the momentum after that stupid turnover when he decided to kick across the field near CHF and caused the turnover.

    I'd dead set Sub him out for that.

    100% our biggest weakness tonight.

    He has never hit form at any stage since the concussion.  Coming back to bite the selectors on the bum.

    A pitty Clazz aint ready.  Straight swap

    Yep nailed it. I'm all for fast ball movement but needs to be in the right players hands.

    Trying to play a bit too quick and risky. Been good to watch but lions on top now

    As soon as the pace and pressure picked up, we've panicked and our forward 50s are ooozing pus again

    Unfortunately May is getting taught a lesson by Daniher. 

    He really got going that quarter.

    Their half backs are just clearing it way too easily. 

    Doesn't help when Spargo, Anb, Melksham and Pickett offer zero defensive pressure.

    Glad to see the negative trolls are back after losing that quarter.

    A very disappointing quarter, but they are a top 4 team for a reason. They move it better than us. They have much better forwards than we do, so they can actually kick it forward with some purpose. They were all over us and make us pay for every turnover, while rarely turning it over themselves. 

     

    We have to get back to winning the contested game. We can’t win it in a shoot out.

    Don't worry guys, our loading program will see us blow them out of the park in the second half. That will be the reason we win. 

    @binmanand @A F guarantee it. 

    But if it doesn't occur, you can't blame loading okay? 

    It'll be other reasons. 

     

    Are you at the game this week Steve, or still in Europe complaining that Melbourne supporters don't turn up to games, and in the same breath lauding how important Collingwood's crowd is to their arousal levels?

    We need Smith's height and mobility at half fwd

    Should be straight in for Spargo from now.

    Let's hope we don't wait till the last 15 min

    He was supposed to be a fwd though. Not like we don't have a better ruck option in Grundy.

    Can't defend quick ball movement!!!

    Any chance we can get a coach to tell these guys to lower eyes and hit a leading target going forward !!!

    Bomb in everytime to Brisbane advantage

    You’d think we are playing a division 3 team, not a premiership contender.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
