Gawn and Petracca senior leaders missing relative sitters (Tracs a bit harder but should be nailing those) absolutely kill us. Not good enough.

Chandler burning Fritsch open in the pocket. Not good enough.

Pressure for 2nd quarter back to rubbish levels. Not good enough.

They deserve a rocket at halftime.

    With how putrid we are at defending fast ball movement, I'm surprised we've won a game tbh.


    I'm not one to do my block but that was disgraceful. All that effort to set up chances and then laziness, sloppy work, even arrogance. They need the biggest spray of all time.

    Terrible game of footy. Half time score in good conditions what decent sides would post in a quarter.

    Our inability to capitalise on this clearance dominance is ridiculous.

    Watch Reid kick three in the second half just to add insult to injury.

    Did not take our chances. Then played liked heroes expecting it would come with half ar$sed efforts. Then a slight lift in pressure from a C grade team and senior players start to panic with the ball. So Melbourne.

    Playing one tall forward in Petty which is no tall forward when he chops out in the ruck is up there with one of Goodwins worst selection decisions.

    Be hard to win now they have their tails up. Over there its a different kettle of fish. Once you give them a sniff at home - its hard to swing back momentum. We wont win now. They kicked 6 points before they kicked a goal, then kicked 4, lucky for us Reid missed a gimme. Gawn playing well, Tracc playing well, Langford dominating, Windsor started well. Rivers sh*thouse, Tholstrup hopeless, Melksham - please retire.

    The Eagles just playing man on man ....

    That's enough to get on top of us and turn the match

    No run and carry from our backline and our fwd line still stinks.

    Fritta and Petty just ain't up to it. At least tonight.

    Despite all the criticism of Oliver , we could certainly use him tonight because Kozzie and Viney ain't the answer today.

    Our transition into ourvfwd line in the first was fast and direct.

    That quarter was just indecisive and slow and into a quagmire.

    What has happened to the new gameplan

    That second quarter was the worst I have seen in decades.

    Goodwin either has no idea of a game plan, and / or cannot inspire his players. Either way he needs to join Dutton in retirement.

    That was a poor last 10 minutes but the umpiring in this game is an absolute disgrace. If we get within 40m of goal its an automatic free to the Weagles. First quarter we had their backmen cold dropping the ball, play on, for us Tholstrup and Pickett dropping the ball the latter an unbelievable decision. The non frees in front of goal and frees to them are to me cheating and not umpiring in the moment, I'm over it. add our poor kicking for goal and ridiculous unrealistic marking attempts forward and it is unwatchable.

    Followed by the 4th quarter where we are like 30-250 or whatever so far this season.

      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.

      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.

      “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.
