That was poor. Max was a champ, Riv provided some run from the back half. Most of the team had mares. Glad it is done.

    I really hope we play some younger guys like Brown, Laurie, Jefferson and Kentfield. We need to see what they've got. Rest Viney, Van Rooyen, Chandler and Sparrow.

    Been a while since he’s been suspended. Should go out with a bang and take Maynard out.

    You've got to drop JVR (I'd also look to trade him back to WA). Kentfield a run

    Mentha for Sparrow

    I double down in my pre match take that selection was and still is a disgrace. Needed to play Jeffo , Kentfield, Laurie, Woey and Brown. NOTHING has changed, those that thought we would beat Hawks with the same old letdown players were delusional. Same with thinking we can toss Magpies! Need to deop Van Rooyen, Sparrow, Viney, Chandler and Fritsch, Play kids next week that will figure in 26. Oh and also FCS Petty may well compete but Play him in defence!

    I’d consider managing Kozzie and make up an injury.

    His round 24 suspension last year against the Pies derailed our start to this year and we can’t afford to have him on the sidelines for round 1 next year. And let’s face it, bad things always happen we play Collingwood.

    Be realistic, we aren’t going to play a bunch of kids who have had all season to convince the selectors and haven’t done so when it’s most likely VFL wildcard round.

    Melk will start and barring any issues Tommy Mc will too, farewell games for them both.

    Someone in for Sharp, can’t say I care who, probably Spargo.

    Just a pity that Collingwood get a bloopy to win next week. Would have been great to see them march in with even more pathetic form.

    Although I love to win, we don’t even need to beat the Pies for them to miss the top 4. Just don’t get belted and we’re golden.

    Gold Coast still have minnow Essendon and Port. Only a 2% gap between them and Collingwood with a game in hand. They should bridge the difference easily and finish on 64pts.

    Effectively, the Pies top 4 chances are dead.

    I hope we have some pride and self respect and have a serious crack at winning the game.

    A poor season could end on a positive note but I’m not sure this group really cares.

    If this team wants to win back it’s supporter base. It has one option and one option only.

    Come out next week and get F’ing physical, they can’t afford to get suspended. Get in their face and make them bleeed!!!!!!

    You don’t think either will go around next year? I think melksham has been our best forward and one of only a few that can kick. Plugga has been decent too

    Yes, because we can definitely trust Gold Coast to get the job done....

      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.
