- The 2013 Melbourne Football Club season was the club's 114th year in the VFL/AFL since it began in 1897. Mark Neeld entered into his second year as senior coach of Melbourne. After a horrid season in 2012, Neeld made a vast amount of list changes in the 2012 AFL Draft. These changes included the addition of experienced and key position players from other clubs such as Shannon Byrnes, Tom Gillies, Chris Dawes, David Rodan and Cameron Pedersen. Melbourne also added five new players from the National Draft, two new players from the Rookie Draft as well as one new player from the Greater Western Sydney Mini-Draft who will play in 2014. Jack Grimes and Jack Trengove continued their roles as co-captains of the football club. With no Friday night games and only three home games against fellow Victorian sides at the MCG, Melbourne faced a financially challenging fixture. At the same time Melbourne received a simple fixture when compared to other teams by playing fellow-cellar dwellers in 2012 Greater Western Sydney, Gold Coast and Western Bulldogs twice and all 2012 finalists with the exception of Fremantle once. Melbourne hosted nine home games at the MCG, a sold home game against Brisbane Lions at TIO Stadium in Round 17 and a home game against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium in Round 18. Melbourne endured one of their worst seasons in the club's 155-year history and arguably their worst in the modern era. They finished with only 2 wins (their least since the 1981 season) and a percentage of 54.07% (their worst since the 1919 season). It was also the worst seasonal performance from an established club since the demise of Fitzroy in 1996. (en)

- * This game saw 7 new faces make their Melbourne Football Club debut. This included David Rodan from , Tom Gillies and Shannon Byrnes from as well as Cameron Pedersen from .
* From the start of the game, Port Adelaide were able to dictate play in the centre clearance and were easily able to find loose men throughout the ground to move the ball forwards with.
* Despite 2 short periods where Melbourne were able to dictate play in the first and second quarters, they were unable to move the ball forward as they would consistently kick to pack contests around the boundary line and continue to turn the ball over in the midfield. From there Port Adelaide were able to move the ball into the middle of the ground and spread their players around the ground to move the ball forward without any real defensive pressure applied.
* Despite a dark day for the Melbourne Football Club, both Jack Viney and Matt Jones were impressive in the midfield and were both able to gain 22 possessions each on debut. (en)
- * In typical humid and tropical conditions, the Brisbane Lions appeared to dominate most of the ball in the first quarter, however they were unable to make the most of their opportunities. Meanwhile Melbourne were able to transition the ball rapidly from their defensive 50 to their attacking 50 to score 5 goals, 3 of which came from Jack Fitzpatrick.
* The Brisbane Lions were able to cut off Melbourne's rapid transitioning from the second quarter onwards and as a result take the lead and create a comfortable margin.
* Midway through the third quarter when Melbourne were 19 points down, they created a mini comeback by winning more of the clearances and hard ball gets to cut the margin back to 6 points late in the third quarter.
* Despite Melbourne winning the contested ball statistics, they were unable to score on their created opportunities much further and allow Brisbane to score on their limited opportunities and eventually lose by 20 points. (en)
- * After a record loss against a week earlier the Demons, and coach Mark Neeld had been under the media spotlight all week. The demons took a surprise lead in the second quarter, and were just 10 points down at half time before the Eagles took over and ran riot with 11 goals to one in the third.
* The pace slowed in the last quarter, but the Eagles still almost racked up a triple digit win - and their largest ever win over the Demons at the MCG.
* Rohan Bail was temporarily substitutes replaced by Jimmy Toumpas in the second quarter while he was assessed for a possible concussion. He returned in the third quarter and played out the rest of the game, Toumpas eventually replaced Aaron Davey at the start of the last term. (en)
- * Despite Greater Western Sydney being winless for the season , they entered as favourites heading into the match due to their decent performances in recent weeks.
* Melbourne opened up a 13-point lead heading into quarter time, however Greater Western Sydney were able to kick 3 rapid goals to snatch the lead at quarter time.
* With both sides evenly poised on the field, Melbourne's inaccuracy in front of goal came at a great expense as Greater Western Sydney were able to open up a 28-point lead heading into 3 quarter time, however Melbourne began to stage a comeback to quickly close the margin to 13 points,
* Unlike the game in Round 4, Greater Western Sydney ensured Melbourne's comeback was short lived and maximised their intensity in the final quarter to run away with the game by 37 points.
* Greater Western Sydney's win was their first and only for 2013 and their first win since Round 19, 2012.
* Melbourne's loss was their first against Greater Western Sydney as they became only the second team after Port Adelaide to register losses against both expansion teams. (en)
- * New caretaker coach and former Adelaide senior coach Neil Craig made his senior coaching debut for Melbourne.
* Despite Melbourne conceding the first 3 goals of the game early in the first quarter, they did not allow the margin to blow out and were able to restrict St Kilda's contested ball use in an effective fashion.
* In the latter 3 quarters of the game, Melbourne were able to use the ball more effectively through the midfield than St Kilda would. However they were unable to capitalize their opportunities inside their forward 50.
* Melbourne managed to win the inside 50 count 46-45 as they were able to wrestle a 47-point three quarter time defect back to a 35-point loss. (en)
- * After a humiliating 60-point loss to Gold Coast at home which saw club great Garry Lyon claimed that Mark Neeld's position as head coach should come under "heavy review," Melbourne responded against Richmond with far better defensive pressure, disposal efficiency and more hit outs.
* Melbourne's improved performance saw them lead at the end of the first quarter for only the second time in 2013 as well hold onto an 8-point deficit at half time.
* After half time Richmond's improved ball use, speed and accuracy down the corridor saw them dominate the inside 50 count 53 to 34 and they were able to capitalize with a 34-point victory.

- * In very wet conditions, Melbourne started the game strongly leading the inside 50 count 8-5 halfway through the first quarter. However as the game continued to Geelong's much larger players began to dominate.
* Much of the game was spent in Geelong's attacking half as Melbourne's younger midfielders struggled to move the ball forward.
* By the end of the game Geelong dominated Melbourne with the inside 50 count 70-19. The inside 50 count differential of 51 was the largest recorded since the statistic was first measured in 1999.

However Melbourne's strong defensive pressure allowed Sydney to be inefficient in converting scoring opportunities into goals and they kept the losing margin to a respectable level of 31 points. (en)

- * After strong speculation that Mark Neeld would be sacked from his senior coaching role in a scheduled board meeting which turned out not to happen a week earlier, Melbourne put a gutsy first quarter effort into their annual Queen's Birthday clash against Collingwood.
* Melbourne managed to control the tempo of the game in the latter period of the first quarter with proficient ball use around the boundary-line. However they were wasteful with their opportunities and allowed Collingwood to head into quarter time with a 1-point lead.

* The crowd of 50,835 was the lowest annual Queen's Birthday clash crowd recorded since Melbourne began regularly hosting Collingwood on that holiday since 2001. (en)
- * On a hot, sweltering day with strong northerly winds, Melbourne would win the toss and kick with the breeze. They started the game off strongly with 3 goals and looked to run over the top despite being advantaged with the breeze.
* St Kilda however were able to utilize the breeze to their full advantage by kicking 7 goals whilst at the same time run the Melbourne's young team of midfielders off their feet in the heat.
* Melbourne were eventually able to fend off steady St Kilda's momentum surge in the second half. However they were unable to properly capitalize of any momentum surge of their own and eventually went down by 25 points. (en)

They headed into the long break leading by 71 points.
* Fremantle temporarily eased their pressure in the third quarter allowing Jack Trengove and Jeremy Howe to score multiple goals for Melbourne and allowed them to win the third quarter.

- * With decent performances for the past 5 games under Neil Craig, Melbourne would start strongly by kicking the first goal of the game. However North Melbourne's midfield and forward pressure would be so intense that Melbourne wouldn't register another inside 50 until the end of the game.
* Despite North Melbourne's shell shocking tackling and pressure on Melbourne, they were very wasteful in front of goal and they eventually allowed Melbourne back into the game by conceding consecutive goals to narrow the margin back to 12 points.
* From that point on North Melbourne would hammer Melbourne in all departments of the ground and score 18 goals to 1 which included the final 8 goals of the game without a single score from Melbourne to win by easily over 100 points.
* North Melbourne's combination of dominating pressure when they didn't have possession of the ball and patient short kicking up the ground when they did allowed them to annihilate key statistical measurements. This included the possession count 439-290, inside 50 count 66-30, hit-out count 59-33, clearance count 49-27 and the contested possession count 154-106.
* This was the first time that Melbourne lost a premiership match at Docklands Stadium by over 100 points. (en)
- * Melbourne looked to continue the good form shown in their record breaking last quarter in the win against Greater Western Sydney a week earlier - and kicking five goals in the first quarter got them off to a good start, even though they also conceded five.
* Brisbane took over in the second quarter, but were wasteful and only added six points to their lead. They opened up a match winning lead in the third quarter, and despite a brief rally by the Demons in the last ran away to an easy victory.
* Aaron Davey replaced Sam Blease in the third quarter. (en)

- * Despite premiership favourites Hawthorn kicking extremely inaccurately in front of goal in the first quarter, Melbourne were completely out-classed and out-powered in the first half of the game by them being tarnished 12 goals to 1.
* For the second consecutive game Melbourne controlled the onslaught in the third quarter and won in 4 goals to 2 to cut the margin back to 58 points. However Hawthorn would find re-lift their work rate in the final quarter to blow the margin out past 100 points.
* A very late goal running in from 50 metres by Michael Evans ensured that the margin fell back into double figures and ensure that Melbourne didn't lose their second game by 100+ points in 2013. (en)
- * Both sides entered the match with most of their best players having a game off to allow for less experienced players to step in.
* Melbourne took an early assault over Port Adelaide thanks to James Sellar who was acting as the primary forward that day with Mitch Clark, Jeremy Howe and Chris Dawes.
* Melbourne had an impressive first half to lead Port Adelaide by 20 points. However Port would create a surge in the third quarter to get within a goal's kick.
* Melbourne would re-extend the margin late in the third and early in the fourth quarter. This was followed by a second surge by Port Adelaide getting within a goal's margin again. However Melbourne would manage to hold their nerve towards the end of the game and win by 2 points. James Sellar was the best on ground with 5 goals. (en)
- * Neil Craig's second last game as caretaker coach for Melbourne was against his old side Adelaide.
* This was the last game held at Football Park for both Adelaide and Melbourne, before Adelaide Oval became the new primary venue to host AFL games in South Australia beginning from 2014.
* Melbourne's last game at Football Park was also their first game there since Round 13, 2010.
* In front of a large crowd, Melbourne would silence them early when they made the most of their limited inside 50 opportunities to take a rare interstate lead into quarter time.
* Adelaide however would begin to dominate the clearance in the second quarter and get the crowd involved to score a string of 6 consecutive goals in the second quarter and take a lead of 30 points.
* 2 late goals in the second quarter from Melbourne re-stabilized the match throughout the third quarter as Adelaide were only able to score 4 goals to 1 despite them dominating the inside 50 and hard ball get count.
* 2 quick goals in the final quarter reduced the margin down to 23 points as a close finish looked set to occur. However Adelaide had the last laugh when they piled on the last 7 goals of the game with the crowd finding their voice again to thrash Melbourne by 68 points.
* Melbourne's miserable record at the ground ended with 5 wins and 24 losses which included an unbroken drought stemming back to Round 2, 2001. (en)
- * With an injury depleted lineup, and no permanent key forwards in the side, the Demons broke even with Carlton for the first five minutes of the game but couldn't capitalise on their advantage. By the time the Blues got going they were hard to stop and opened up a five goal lead by quarter time.
* The Demons started to eat into Carlton's lead in the second quarter when they kicked their first goal and were awarded another shot immediately afterwards as a free kick.
* Debutant Dean Kent replaced Jack Grimes in the first quarter when Grimes suffered a broken collarbone in a tackle from ex-teammate Brock McLean. (en)
- * After three disappointing losses to start the season the Demons, and Mark Neeld were under heavy scrutiny from the media with some speculation that if the Demons lost to a team who had only won two games the previous year that Neeld would be dismissed as coach.
* The two sides traded blows for the first three quarters, before the Giants skipped away to a three goal lead at three quarter time. With dark clouds hovering above the Demons responded by registering their greatest ever quarter in a match - with 12.2 more than doubling their score in the last half an hour.
* Michael Evans and Jeremy Howe were the driving forces of the comeback with seven goals between them, but Melbourne were flawless in beating up the young Giants in the final term despite losing Mitch Clark to a foot injury.
* Aaron Davey replaced Jack Viney in the third quarter. Neville Jetta was reported for rough conduct and suspended for two matches. (en)

- * In the final game of a disastrous season, Melbourne were able to attack early in the game scoring 3 consecutive goals and lead by 2 points at half time.

* The pace of the game slowed down in the third quarter and after the Western Bulldogs kicked the first major of the second half. Melbourne all of a sudden responded with 3 quick goals to downgrade the deficit to 31 points.

- The 2013 Melbourne Football Club season was the club's 114th year in the VFL/AFL since it began in 1897. Mark Neeld entered into his second year as senior coach of Melbourne. After a horrid season in 2012, Neeld made a vast amount of list changes in the 2012 AFL Draft. These changes included the addition of experienced and key position players from other clubs such as Shannon Byrnes, Tom Gillies, Chris Dawes, David Rodan and Cameron Pedersen. Melbourne also added five new players from the National Draft, two new players from the Rookie Draft as well as one new player from the Greater Western Sydney Mini-Draft who will play in 2014. Jack Grimes and Jack Trengove continued their roles as co-captains of the football club. (en)
