Interesting watching May. He's brilliant, but needs time to recover. 

If we can get it clear and there's repeat efforts he's going to struggle.

Can we sneak him out there with a green whistle down his jocks?

 
 

We have not got out of second gear in that quarter with not a lot of work or cover out of our midfield. Defence is standing tall with May just amazing with the game he has played so far. I hope he holds up.

gave away that late goal which is a bummer but generally not too bad given our lack of pressure and lack of drive from the middle.

I expect us to step up in this quarter and get the game on our terms.

No panic. play our game.

    Last week's game was almost finals like.

    I fear we are flat

    Just what the Afl wanted.

    Five day break after that game is a joke .

    Midfield getting smashed again just like against Port. Surely we’re due to turn this around?

    They were always going to come out firing

    7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

    i’ll take that!

    Though Adelaide inside 50 is dreadful. Low quality entries.

    Need to reset on how we go inside 50.

    Get the smalls to the fall of the ball and get it in quicker, flood or no flood, defences wilt if you get it in quick.

    Also need to stand up in the midfield, as we’re getting monstered with the inside 50 count.

    Midfield need to lift bigtime


    This game is for Adelaides season survival essentially. They aren’t good on the road so can’t really afford to drop many home games. They’re coming hard but we got this.

    Edited by BoBo

    19 inside 50s to 8. Midfield deserves a massive spray.

    They are clogging us up

    Did well to stay close

    Suspect their is s 3-4 goal breeze to the cheer squad end

    Go Dees!

    Getting belted in clearances and inside 50s 

    really pathetic display so far 

    Settle down 


    Settle people, if we had got reward for our tackling we'd be 3 goals up

    Started well but intensity dropped off mid way. Terrible kick from Rivers at that stage of the quarter. 

    McVee has been great despite one  Rankine goal. 

    May some great marks. 

    Can we play BBB out of the square? Looks unnatural him chasing down defenders.

    Rivers back into the corridor with less than 20 secs to go - big brain fart.

    Grow a brain mate!

    Really poor from rivers

    • 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.
