We look very switched on. That quarter fills me with confidence that @binman was on the money with his loading and fatigue theories for the first half last week. Ripper of a match so far, hope we can keep it up.

    I think your close. 80% perhaps

    Yeah I think this year is going to be a write off. He is void of his usual confidence. Maybe having to pull his head in has really cut deep. 


    Holding the ball is red hot.. at least for anyone wearing red

    Cats have managed to flood our fwd line like they did against Carlton.

    We have been efficient going fwd compared to them thanks to our mercurial defenders.

     

    Pressure is hot from both teams

    Finish the quarter with higher disposal efficiency, we look good picking our way into their zone 

    Good start but must keep up our intensity 


    Both team showing their best, lots of running and great skills. Our foot skills tonight have been outstanding. If we continue to stall them moving through the wing with an extra player loose, we win. 

    Umpiring is a concern. Not from a bias point of view, but over umpiring minor discrepancies, and not seeing the ball being dropped by the tackled player. Frustrating.

    Any chance we can get @binman to teach these channel 7 nuffies a thing or 2 on commentary? For ex-players and people who watch the game for a living none of them have any idea.

    Specifically about why our stats look different to prior years and how we "just find a way to hang on" despite the stats not looking great 🙄

    Best post ever.

    Such passionate disdain.

    Love it Layzie.

    I want us to beat this arrogant mob so much.

    I’m still a bit uneasy at how easy the Cats move the ball from D50. It just shows what an elite defence does. Our Midfield is still really average. Just need one of our boys to go off the charts. Just one and we can split this game open.

    It's almost as if they decide beforehand which rule are we red hot on tonight.

    Viney down for quite a while there


    I predict a draw

    • 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.
