    Surely the club appeals the JVR suspension. Was graded medium impact, McStay played out the game could argue it down to low impact surely?

    We can but I don’t think we will. A week for that is pretty right. It was definitely not a necessary action, and McStay had to go to the rooms for an assessment. 

    I’d give him a trophy if he did it to Cox tho. Wasn’t worth it on McStay, he’s a spud.

    Grundy is so inept as a forward, that I think bloody tomlinson would offer more playing there.

    This is a guy who played as a pure forward for Casey, looked so completely lost that they gave up at HT and played him ruck.

    He nerfs Gawn when he plays, which is an outcome we simply can't afford.

    Schache is not contested enough. So... either swing tomlinson or heck even Turner there, back in Spargo and a small forward line, just PLEASE don't play Grundy. Please.

    I hope David King is in the media this week saying how Melbourne should get 75% of the seats against Carlton because it's our home game 🤨

    So is Mckay ...likely

     

    McKay appears concussed so  (depending on Jesse Hogan’s mate, the Carlton doctors assessment) should miss next week.  
    Which may change out defensive set up

    Harmsey did his hammy this morning in the scratch match against Carlton reserves.

    While I don’t wish any player any injuries from us or the opposition they need to think outside the box and become inventive. Harmes while a good servant and loyal his style of football gas been surpassed.

    Watching Parker deep forward against Carlton, Trac plays deep on him.

    carlton not dealing with Sydney taking the game on or the slingshot 

    I haven’t seen enough of him, but could Disco play tall fwd roll to bring it to ground.

    The formula is so clear from these two finals:

    1. Attack from minute one, instead of when you're already multiple goals behind
    2. Kick goals instead of behinds (duh), i.e., score when you have momentum
    3. Nope just two.

    3. Have a forwardline with, wait for it, forwards

    • 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.
