I'm sick to death of our do-nothing forwards. Langdon had a free (mark?) on the 50 and NO-ONE made a lead calling for the ball . They just waited for the bomb (and our forwards never clunk marks). They HAVE to lead.

    One thing teams will do homework on with some of our CBD work is Gawn stepping over the line and left hand tapping to 3o’clock position with sweeper running onto ground ball, ok when it works but leaves us very vulnerable out the front

    Pretty off Lever. Doesn't do anything. 

    Chandler likewise, I've been a defender but has has a very hum ho pre season

    Just not sure what we are doing with our backline structure but Lever has to be played to his strengths or he’s just not good. He has to trust his skills to provide something in attack too. 

    Dirty day for anyone deep forward but 2 poor outings for Chin and he hasn’t looked fully fit. The dribbling kicks around the body that don’t get off the ground are very confusing.

    I’d like to see Chandler at half forward more and Sparrow deeper.

    And can we please never look to pass to Billings in fwd 50 

    Have never seen a worse kick for goal in my life - you can just chalk it up for a behind every time

    I think Lindsay has been better than Langford

    Could possibly be better in the first year, particularly in regards to where he may play

    Our set shot kicking has been putrid.

    Since 2022 I am afraid.

    A Lever decisive switch sets up a goal (even if it goes messy on the wing)

    Did we actually practice goal kicking in the offseason!!

    Looks like our forwards will struggle again this season but who would have picked that. Rinse and repeat.

    It’s not so much lack of goal sense as a psychological illness.

    AJ is a battler and has deserved a spot for round one.

    • 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.
