Melksham - our only winner

Petracca - disposal was amateurish

Gawn - had negligible influence

Viney - tried but limited

Pickett - great last quarter

Bowey - tried but overwhelmed

Rivers - loose and disinterested

Turner - strong first half

Langford - needed longer break

Oliver - just a shadow

Chandler - irrelevant and uninvolved

Fritsch - seemingly without heart

Sparrow - another nothing game

McVee - little influence again

Petty - was actually missed

Langdon - not a tagger

Tholstrup - a year away

May - career is fading

Sharp - little to offer

Salem - regularly slowed momentum

Jefferson - two years away

Howes - unsighted before injury

Lindsay - shown no growth

 

Umpires - doing HQs job

 

You’ve given two players a positive review (of sorts) and yet we had two players less for most of the game and went down by four goals. Genuinely clueless assessments

Ridiculous comment.

We all know, but you, we were lucky not to lose by 15 goals.

Present your 3 word analysis to show me where I misjudged


Everyone to their own opinion But we had a miserably poor 1st quarter and looked like we would go down by 60+ points, we hit the post twice and Milkshake missed at least two that he would normally swallow and we went down by 19 points to a top 8 side that was aided and abetted by the umpiring fraternity. Plus we were two down.????

Yes I think you are right. Every week this thread gets more emotional and worse. It's more of an insight into the posters fragility than a reflection. It used to be quite interesting.

Well if I were paid more to produce this thread each week then perhaps I’d present more positive reviews.

Sure:

Fritsch - tackles and goals

Rivers - 27 possessions. Disinterested?

Sharp - (sub) provided some spark

Langford - continues to grow

Bowey - beat direct opponent

Jefferson - started slowly. Glimpses

Lever

Oliver

Some big stars that no longer are.

Sparrow never was.

Tracca plays some iffy games.

Petty not a fwd. Fritta comes and goes so apart from Melksham turning up we don't have a fwd line.

This team is unrecognisable to the one that won a flag. It's interesting because there are still quite a few of them still there. At least a dozen. And they're not all old.

Come on you can do better than that. "Money improves reviews"

I agree Joe, Jefferson was poor 2 years away! That's never. It's time to move on from him he is not a AFL talent. I have said to play him for a number of games. However there was zero in that game to show him as a needed player.

Bluey- Personally ashamed to be associated with this lilly livered group.

He should be careful. That can result in haemorrhoids!

Trying to blame umpires for this is so one-eyed we should be sponsored by the Fred Hollows Foundation.

  • 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.
