Surely Trac will have a better second half 

I know he's being tagged but Tracca always has better second halves than firsts for some reason.

      I wouldn’t describe our forward line or even attacking game as explosive. 

    Tedious, spluttering and inaccurate perhaps?

     

    Chins ok. Had a tough game, Taj going ok, both may have a better half.

    Billings out Bill Laurie in.

    1st half

    The good ✅running. Defence.  Structure.  

    👏Petty.  McVee. May. Lever. Sparrow. Lingers  

     

    The bad😡goalkicking is TERRIBLE. JVR. PICKETT. BILLINGS. JVR. GAWN. All are TERRIBLE. 


    🤨Billings 🤨Chandler 🤨

     🤢Trac. Fumbles and handballs.  One kick in a half.  More intensity. Less meatballs!!! 

    we’re lucky they also have butchered their opps. but reckon we should be 3 goals up. 

    Petty may have had a couple of clangers but he's well and truly back with those marks. Hard to stop with that timing.

    What’s happened to our midfield?

    I’ve been wondering for the last month. Something doesn’t smell right. 
     

    Trac getting tagged every week, Viney out of form. Oliver back to the pack and we are not really better than the average midfield.

    Trac needs to kick those 

    If he could he would be weapon up fwd.

     Ugly footy.
    The Melbourne way.



    We don’t have enough dangerous players when the ball hits the ground i50. It’s Pickett or no-one at the moment.

    This is a million times better moving forward. Be patient and present with good kickers entering f50.

    • 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.
