Why the [censored] would we sub kolt.

Sparrow and chandler have been 100000% worse 

Zero tackles given his role might have something to do with it.

Because they play the same role

Why are they all unmanned so often in their forward 50?

Ok we are down in the ruck but why so poor in defensive effort today??

You can't defend so many horrid turnovers in bad spots.

Sparrow needs to be dropped for Laurie.  Too slow and badly out of form for months now.

    Is Petty worth anything as a trade now??

    Even a packet of Twisties?

    I'd even take Chicken Twisties

    Yes the 2023 off season not looking good at all decision wise by our off-field team.

    Lever is our Darcy Moore -  just wants to lay off and can’t defend a man…

    can’t believe we didn’t pick a ruck - either stupidity or arrogance

    Hubris. We got away with it in the wet against a B grade ruck combo but on a dry-ish deck against one of the best if not the best ruck combos in the league it was always going to bite us.

    You can say "oh yeah a VFL ruck is going to be the difference in a 10 goal loss" but it just gave us no chance, being on the back foot from the get go, unable to win a clearance and the ball locked in their forward line for a large portion of the game.

    Coaching clinic by Longmuir today. Utterly disgraceful effort by the coaching team. Major changes needed.

    Hawks deserve to be ahead of us. Been sensational for weeks

    They will be by the end of this. 

    Is Melksham even playing?

    He should have been subbed off rather than the Kolt

    This is going to get very ugly now 

    100 point loss on the cards

    FFS we won a Flag on this ground…

    Why would you start Salem in the middle instead of Rivers??

    Rivers is a mile ahead in the middle.  SG has seriously lost the plot this season for mine.

    Ahhh because we are 6 goals down and need a change. Rivers was slow and lazy in the middle today. He wasn’t dominating.

    Rivers has improved the backline. Salem has been more involved in the middle.

    If we had 2 Rivers we’d just play both of them.


    5 minutes of sustained effort  wow

    Hope you don’t pull a muscle Dees

    Also allowed too many easy around ground relief marks from Darcy.

    A two meter tall competitor just might get a few more of those to ground and give you a 50/50 chance.

    Especially up around the wing where a ground ball win can often result in a shot on goal.

    How wasn’t that 50 against the “athlete”

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
