    An intense high pressure cracking game !!!

    The toiges did us for pressure and intensity early and had our measure.

    But .... along came Max ... big bad Max the mountain!!!

    You will NEVER see a better performance in the ruck - EVER !!!!

    A number of other top performances but I must single out Petty. He played more like  a forward than any other forward ( bar Fitta ) than we have played this year.

    A very tough game - fortunate to have Norf next week.

    There is a feeling in the Bitter nethers that says, " this is our year" !

    GO DEES !!!!!

    McVee is the find of the year for the Dees. Sublime skills and composure with the ball. A couple of those kicks in the last five minutes we’re clutch.

    I’m starting to believe. That last quarter was very reminiscent of late ‘21.

    Fitter, better, for longer. Sound familiar?

    Never saw Petty kicking 6, and Maxy what an effort. Picked the boys up and carried them in the second half.

    Put the big fella on ice for a week, no need to fly him to tassie and play spuds. Grundy can take the load for a week

    How good was Petty! I was sceptical of playing him forward but I've changed my mind. Everything he touched turned to gold.

    All in all, I'm thrilled with that win. That was a very high pressure game and we held up brilliantly. Still got another four games left but I'm much more confident heading into the finals than I was this time last year.

    Holy [censored] that was one exciting game to watch!

    We just griiiiiiinnnnd them away!

    Petty and JVR were [censored] unreal.

    Maxy on that performance alone should be a 7 time All Australian. That was [censored] nuts

    Give Melksham another contract. He's best 22 for the rest of the year.

    Go you [censored] dees!

    Petty, Gawn magicians - and the rest of the team, led by Viney, would not give in to the Tigers resurgence and endeavour. What a great, appropriate pre-finals game. ANB consistently proved his worth in a linking team and paused play at perfect moments for team coverage. One could go on, but the main theme was 'team, team, team' and it was bloody brilliant.

    • 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.
