    Great first half lads!

    Our pressure and tacking intensity is up. Conditions is suiting us more then Essendon.

    Essendon are incredibly soft and don't like the contest work.

    One more half to go boys!

    Cracking tackle my McVee! 

    Another good  end to the qtr. keeping up the intensity, keeping them thinking and have just had a little more spark up forward. This is a good base to build from. Let’s get them in the second half! 

    Rivers to be a permanent midfielder.

    Sparrow may be out of the team soon.

    Will be interesting to see how the second half goes. I'm still scarred from our final quarter against the Lions

    Playing angry with intent, no soft players or there today, unlike Essendon

    Nathan Jones has been pretty soft

    Much better quarter. Stopped Ess run on the outside, lots of pressure on the man causing the fumble.

    JVR much better in the ruck that quarter. Not getting pushed off the ruck contest

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
