If the two Prima Donnas do not get what they want elsewhere, maybe we need some child care workers or kinder teachers..

    No. King out in 2009, Rivers traded in 2013

    Love this. Welcome back to your home, Jared.

    Two things are looking VERY clear already - we will have a very different game style, and lots of new voices influencing our playing group. Sounds positive so far.

    Interested in Rory Atkins as a development coach apparently.

    Per Tom Morris.

    Hamill is coming as well. Perhaps Hamill will be forward coach and Chaplin simply ball movement and strategy/senior assistant. Maybe, baby.

    This makes sense.

    …

    Don’t say baby

    His record and experience suggests he's a good get. I was worried no one wanted to help coach us for a minute.

    I was a little concerned as well.

    Looks like things are coming together nicely.

    Should have had an actual forward coaching the group 4 years ago.

    Like Geelong you mean? The Geelong who have an ex-defender as their forwards coach?

    How people can continue to insist that assistant coaches should only coach the position they played is mind-boggling.

    • 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.
