    Lindsay, I’m not convinced

    Laurie, just as predicted

    Lever, what about McDonald

    Kozzie, in another headspace

    Johnson, Victoria Football League

    Oliver, not top 100

    MFC: heartbreaking to follow

    Langford: Needs a rest

    Windsor: Not a backman

    Pressure: 8th worst ever

    Forward line: Tall mark needed (ability to kick straight an advantage)

    Coaching: Lyon wins again

    Goal kicking: Words fail me

    Backline: : Missing Tom McDonald

    Laurie: Too the answer (

    Melbourne Football Club - Richo’s barn door

    Petty - an irrelevant footballer

    Lever - limited contemporary skills

    May - Looked better today

    Rivers - plays for frees

    XL - Skilful ball user

    AJ - Limited but effortful

    Windsor - Continues to decline

    Really, not convinced about Lindsay??

    He is the least of our problems. Will be a very good player.

    May - very good defence 👍🏻

    Gawn - battled hard and was one of our best great contest v Marshall 👍🏻

    Turner - yes played well as a 3rd tall defender 👍🏻

    McVee - good rebound and run 20 disposals 👍🏻

    Bowey - well held in 1st half Good in 2nd half to be ok 👍🏻

    Petracca - played in bursts but nothing like last week was okay 👍🏻

    Chandler. - contests and runs hard all day 👍🏻

    Ummmm the rest …

    Fritsch - seemingly played half forward connector and stayed wide and kicked wide too ineffective overall

    Salem - likes the boring 15 metre pass defensively caught out too often and looked slow

    Oliver - Zac jones tagged him and did a good job Clarry battled on

    Lindsay - uncharacteristically is missing goals He nailed them in under 18s Had ok game and excuse as he’s just 1st year

    Johnson - big bustling bumbling performance love his heart but limited again

    Pickett - simply poor today Windhager tag was too good and frustrated kozzzy

    (Why didn’t Goodwin put him forward to one in one in square??)

    Melksham - seemed injured and bravely went on yet nothing today

    Rivers - he tried and tried and tried but it didn’t happen today

    Langford - yes agree he might need a spell as he battles but is looking very tired

    Petty - good contest and tackle to goal was good but …

    The rest need to go to house of mirrors

    Windsor - poor under pressure, turnovers and missed tackles (please please please put him back to the wing, end his defense role now)

    Langdon - wow that was a shocker. Had to ask if he was playing. Ed will bounce back

    Sharp - so inconsistent- works hard then lets himself down - disappointing!!

    Sparrow - where is he at? Defensive forward?? Slow and lacks skill had 3 goal chances for zero goals not good enough

    Lever -very disappointing , yes he was a liability in defense & imv physically is not right

    Laurie - some might excuse as only had a quarter but looked slow again and I’m still saying he’s not up to it. Maybe give him a few games so we can finally see that he’s not going to make it. Fair enough. He is a good VFL player.

    Agree he’s not a problem, just not convinced he’s as good as commentators talk. Think Windsor better but destroying him at half back.

    Windsor - not a defender.

    If they keep persisting with this, they are going to Melbourne him

    He has won me over. I didn't like him to start with as he looked like someone I don't like, so he has done well to turn me around.

    Windsor will be a very good player as well and while he isn't tearing up half back like I thought he would, he will develop into a well rounded player.

    So why wasn't interference run for him. Windhager did a great job on Kozzie, but there needed to be a "screen" for Kozzie. The other thing is again, we give up so much possession from a point kick in. So often, St.Kilda went coast to coast, without a Melbourne player touching the footy. We looked flat today. No spark.

    First time Saints have beaten us since 2019 and we had to kick 21 points for them to beat us. Kicking is deplorable.!!!

    He's an absolute ripper 'Norm', will kick one then the monkey will be off his back.

    I think Lindsay is the better player, I'm more concerned with Langford on a wing & in general. fumbles too much below his knees and gets caught out in 2 way running, would rather Windsor or Langdon back on one wing.

    Lindsay is good on the other...

    • 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.
