The number of close wins theyve had reads like a fairytale. Theyre good at it but luck and dodgy umpiring certainly plays its role.

We probably  would of lost to the Pies if the game had gone another minute. Just one more crucial umpiring decision Pies way and the Pies win another game on the siren.

    I imagine Kane Farrell is not Mr.Popular on the Port boards today.  The deliberate OOB that gave Elliott a makeable shot at goal and then dropping the pressure chest mark at the death.

    And then dropped a sitter inside 50 from a JHF pass with a minute to go.

    It's funny how the best teams have so many "lucky" wins.

    The best teams fight to the end and always believe they can win. It's what separates them from the rest.

    And we don’t? 
    We fought back twice against the Lions, and against Port and held on against the Pies. Our average losing margin is exceptionally small for a reason. 

    We just don’t get behind as often at the Pies, so nobody rates our ability to fight back and win. But that doesn’t mean we don’t or can’t. We fought back from 19 points down in a grand final and won by 70+.

    Means nothing if you're fighting back and not getting the results.

    Pies on the other hand simply get the results.

    Agree. We’re rarely not in with a chance to win our games. It’s why we’re a contender as well.

    We beat Lions, we beat Dogs, we beat Geelong. 
    And I bet my bottom dollar that if Oliver doesn’t do his hamstring we beat Port as well. 
     

    There is a lot to be said for fighting back and winning. But there’s equally a lot to be said for not needing to constantly fight back to win, don’t you think? 
    Why is Pies coming back and winning more impressive than Melbourne being in every game we play and rarely being in a position to not win it?

    Are you a Melbourne supporter? I think if there has been another minute e we would have won by over a goal.

    St Kilda being able to start the last two seasons the same and fade out the same is uncanny, 

    When are they sacking Ross the Boss?

    These over-celebrations by the Saints players after kicking a goal is hilarious.

    You’re on 61 points with 10 minutes left against the second worst team in the comp that hasn’t won a game since round 2. 
     

    I’d be ashamed if I even cracked a smile lol

    • 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.
