    A very encouraging 4th quarter for Kalani, this should give him a lot of confidence going forward.

    Some nice taps in the ruck.

    Really solid mark and goal by Jeffo.

    He's had a great game

    Good to take the marks and kick the goals, but loved Kalani chatting to Lauri before a ball up and then tapping it straight down his throat. Kid's got tap skills

    Gotta think this will be a close one.

    Really disappointed with our hacking kicks out of defence last quarter.

    I reckon we're kicking to the scoring end this quarter and we need to be 3 goals up at 3 QTR time to hold this.

    Is there a a bit of a breeze to that end?

    Not even an ounce of breeze all night. Perfect conditions just cold. Great last quarter

    Another example tonight of the common occurence in football games where a team will jump their opponents in the first quarter, have the other team claw back the deficit then run out of steam in the last with the final margin similar to what it was at quarter time.

    Kalani showed enough to make me think he definitely has a future at AFL level. Choose wisely young grasshopper. Choose Melbourne!

    Glad I posted that I'd been underwhelmed previously when watching Kalani😊

    Fantastic to see that performance.

    The highlight for me was Verral coming of age in the ruck. He played a great game and has learnt from Max to pluck the tap and kick the ball. Kalani's last quarter was fantastic. 2 goals a few marks and some great taps. Don't show too much form, otherwise the other buzzards will put an early bid in on him.

    7 goals 2 to 2 goals 1 in the last quarter was super

    stats as follows:

    laurie's last quarter was huge

    bonner stated in the post game interview that he is the manager of our nga, maybe thats why he didn't get picked up in the mid season draft and likes what he is doing now.

    Highlights for me were Kalani White, Jeffo & Verrall. Love seeing the big men play well and it gives us hope at AFL level post Gawn, and for marking forward inside F50.

    Jeffo played a very mature, contested game as the key focal point forward. His last few VFL matches have shown he can learn and grow.

    Is my vision bad or did Kalani tap one over his head to a team mate that didn’t break stride? He looked to really grow with confidence in the last quarter. For a skinny 17 year old ruck/forward, he looks likely.

    And Verrell looks to have come on in leaps and bounds when given primary ruck duty. Great ruck craft at times tonight.

    He did late in the game, a great blind tap to a team mate at the centre bounce

    • 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.
