Van Rooyen just hasn’t looked like taking a mark tonight.

Just tonight?

    Tagging or not, three touches from an experienced player like Sparrow is not good enough.

    Hasn't looked like taking a mark for 12 months. No support around him but his marking form is horrific. At this point he needs to be tried in defense to save his career.

    How embarrassing. We are legitimately in a wooden spoon race with West Coast. 😂

    0 - 23 if we don't sack Goodwin ASAP

    What is Salem these days he can't defend and doesn't attack from half back. He is symbolic of the fall of our team

    Losing to a really, really ordinary team.

    While a win here would not have said much about where we are or what we’re capable of, but geez it would have been at least something.

    Pretty deflated.

    This chick is hot and eye candy, ngl, but useless as an umpire. I dread every time we get her for our matches. Her and Nicholls kills us all the time.

    She's the pits

    Our contested marking is almost non-existent, only 4 tonight. One a quarter?

    She's terrible and I believe a Bombers fan.

    Goodwin has lost me

    but players like trac, clarry, fritsch petty need to take a look in the mirror.

    a team with 15 premiership players should not be this bad irrespective of who the coach is. shameful effort

    Kicked our 1 goal 2 behind average for the last quarter

    Good effort that

    If Kozzie leaves we're genuinely buggered

    As opposed to him staying and still being genuinely buggered.

    10 minutes enough for Goody to say there are positives. Reality was a terrible first half and a typical last quarter fade out. Eight goals same old story. There are just signs with this team they are not engaged. Don’t forget Bombers are a seriously ordinary team.

     

    Hopefully those few Dees supporters who made the trip to Gather Round, eat up and drink at the Barossa. Make use of the weekend and drown their sorrows, thanks to the abysmal performance tonight.

    This standard just doesn’t cut it. If you can’t score in the modern game, you're not entertaining and you’re not in the game.

    • 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.
