Larkey should have assessed his options before re-signing with the Kangaroos. 

I admire his loyalty. To many of our players left us & it was frustrating. 

But yeah maybe he thought this season they'd be travelling better

    Seven unforced changes for Gold Coast Suns.  I don't think Dimma was too happy with their most recent effort.

    I thought +39.5 was a good line for North.

    Maybe he needs to stop flopping in marking contest first it embarrassing for a senior play with a side full of young kids.

    West coast: ‘We’re so bad we need priority picks’

    North Melbourne: ‘Hold my beer’

    I've been running the line for the last few years that Nth didn't deserve high-end priority picks but if they don't show any improvement this year, they'll need some serious help. This is a worse hole than we were in.

    Priority picks that that they have to trade for players (similar to the mini-draft of GWS), increased salary cap, increased player list. They're at risk of having their young high pick midfielders not developing properly and/or leaving if they're not competitive soon.

    Are you kidding?

    We were so bad for so long ... lost quite a few matches by margins over 100 points.

    Nth have had plenty of drubbings too. Their percentage has been woeful for years.

    If you look at the past 4 years, it's worse than any 4 year period we had during Bailey or Neild years.

    Nth:
    2023 - 3 wins
    2022 - 2 wins
    2021 -4 wins
    2020 - 3 wins*(out of 17 games)

    Melbourne's three year bad patch of 2012,2013 and 2014 (where signs of recovery were obvious)  yielded 4, 2 and 4 wins.  2011 had 8 wins. 2015 had 7 wins. We won 5 games in 2008 and 2009.

    They've had 4 very bad years in a row. If they have another bad year (as I stated in my post) without showing obvious signs of improvement they need help. I stand by that.

    They look to me a little like GWS early days. They’ve picked the best kids available over 3-4 drafts - but now have lots of mids and no structure to support it. It’s a risk, especially watching McKercher running around knowing he’ll be the first target for Tassie.

    • 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.
