The 2016 Melbourne Football Club season was the club's 117th year in the VFL/AFL since it began in 1897. In Paul Roos' final season as senior coach before succession coach, Simon Goodwin took over, the club won ten matches out of twenty-two to finish eleventh on the ladder out of eighteen teams and finished on 97.6 percent. It was the club's best season on the field since the 2011 season in which the club finished with eight wins, thirteen losses and a draw, to finish with a percentage of 85.3.

Senior personnel

Nathan Jones was retained as captain for the third consecutive season. The leadership group was overhauled where none of the leaders, aside from Jones, were retained in the group from 2015 and the club elected to have no vice-captain. The leadership group included Colin Garland, Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Tom McDonald, Bernie Vince, and Jack Viney.

Due to Paul Roos entering his final year as senior coach, there was a reshuffle in coaching, whereby Roos' role shifted towards a focus on culture, so the transition to coach-in-waiting, Simon Goodwin, was as smooth as possible for 2017. Goodwin increased his responsibilities for the 2016 season, including being the senior coach for the three matches against Шаблон:AFL PA, Шаблон:AFL WB, and Шаблон:AFL StK during the 2016 NAB Challenge. In addition there was increased responsibility for development and strategy coach, Brendan McCartney, as the club increased its focus on development. After the departure of development coach and game-day runner, Brad Miller, to Шаблон:AFL GWS to coach their NEAFL side, 2015 retiree, Daniel Cross filled his position as development and rehabilitation coach, and game-day runner. Craig Jennings was recruited from the Шаблон:AFL WB in September 2015 in a newly created position, the game analyst and education coordinator. Michelle Cowan continued in her role as the coach of Melbourne's women's team and in February, she became the first female assistant coach in Melbourne's history and the second in AFL history serving as the player development and welfare coach. Due to family reasons she left the club in July and returned to Western Australia to work with the Fremantle Football Club. Glen Bartlett continued in his role as club president, a role he has held since August 2013. Chief Executive Officer, Peter Jackson, continued with the club after signing a contract extension to the end of the 2017 season.

Fixture summary

A fixture that was described by Chief Executive Officer, Peter Jackson, as "pleasing", Melbourne played four out of their first five matches at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with twelve in total at the MCG. Melbourne featured in the only Sunday-night match of the AFL season when they hosted Шаблон:AFL Ric in the ANZAC Day eve match at the MCG. They again hosted Шаблон:AFL Col in the annual Queen's Birthday clash in round 12 at the MCG, and due to an ongoing sponsorship deal with Tourism NT, they again played two home matches in the Northern Territory, the first against Шаблон:AFL PA at TIO Traeger Park in round 10 and the second against Шаблон:AFL Fre at TIO Stadium in round 16. Melbourne played for premiership points in Tasmania for the first time when they played Шаблон:AFL NM in round 3 at Blundstone Arena, they also played a match in Queensland for the first time since round 20, 2013 when they played Шаблон:AFL GC at Metricon Stadium in round seven, meaning they played in every state and territory in Australia excluding the Australian Capital Territory.

The teams Melbourne played twice were Шаблон:AFL Haw, Port Adelaide, Collingwood, Шаблон:AFL StK, and Gold Coast, with Hawthorn the only team that made the final eight the previous season. Due to finishing in the bottom six in 2015, Melbourne did not play in many prime-time matches with no Thursday and Friday night matches and they played in only two Saturday night matches, both outside of Victoria. Based on analysis by AFL Media and The Age, Melbourne's draw difficulty was consistent with their bottom six finish in 2015, however, analysis by the Herald Sun estimated they had the fourth most difficult fixture in the league.

2016 season

Pre-season

The 2016 NAB Challenge saw the senior assistant coach, Simon Goodwin take over as coach in preparation for him becoming the senior coach of the club from the 2017 season. Melbourne was one of three teams to finish undefeated during the pre-season competition with a nineteen-point win against Шаблон:AFL PA, a twelve-point win against Шаблон:AFL WB and a twenty five point win against Шаблон:AFL StK. The list headed into the main season with very little injuries apart from young midfielder, Angus Brayshaw who suffered a knee injury five seconds into the first match of the NAB Challenge, which forced him to miss the remainder of the pre-season and round one against Шаблон:AFL GWS.

Home and away season

The opening round saw Melbourne defeat Шаблон:AFL GWS by two points at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in a come from behind victory in which Melbourne scored six final quarter goals to two. Clayton Oliver made his AFL debut in the match, with Tomas Bugg and Ben Kennedy playing their first match for Melbourne after being traded from Greater Western Sydney and Шаблон:AFL Col respectively. The club entered the round two match against Шаблон:AFL Ess as heavy favourites; Melbourne ultimately lost the match by thirteen points, with Jack Viney admitting after the match they "lacked respect" for Essendon due to the numerous top-up signings from the supplements saga and the players "got ahead of themselves". The next three matches saw Melbourne play consistently for the first time during the season with a narrow three point loss to Шаблон:AFL NM, a thirty-five point win against Collingwood, and a thirty-three point win against Шаблон:AFL Ric in the Anzac Day eve match, which saw Melbourne win two matches in a row for the first time since 2011. Josh Wagner and Jayden Hunt made their AFL debuts in rounds three and four respectively. Melbourne played their first match at Etihad Stadium for the season in a home match against Шаблон:AFL StK, even though St Kilda are a tenant of Etihad Stadium. Melbourne lost the match by thirty-nine points, however the match saw the highly hyped Christian Petracca make his long-awaited AFL debut and Jesse Hogan kicked a career-high seven goals.

The next two out of three matches were large victories by Melbourne with a seventy-three point win against Шаблон:AFL GC at Metricon Stadium in round seven and a sixty-three point win against the Шаблон:AFL BL at the MCG in round nine. The match against Gold Coast saw Melbourne score 161 points, their highest since round six in 2004. The match in between, however, was a thirty-two point loss to eventual premiers, the Шаблон:AFL WB. The club headed to Alice Springs in round ten for their first sold home match of the year as part of a sponsorship with Tourism NT. A disappointing match saw Melbourne lose to Шаблон:AFL PA by forty-five points in conjunction with a one-match suspension to the in form, Jack Viney. Jack Trengove made his long-awaited return in round eleven against Шаблон:AFL Haw, playing his first AFL match since round two in 2014. The match was level at three-quarter time, however three final quarter goals to zero saw Hawthorn win by eighteen points. The next week was the annual Queen's Birthday clash against Collingwood which Melbourne won by forty-six points, their first Queen's Birthday win since 2007. A fifty-five point loss to Шаблон:AFL Syd in extremely wet conditions at the Sydney Cricket Ground was Melbourne's last match before the mid-season bye. Melbourne's score of 31 was the lowest score ever recorded at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Melbourne's first match after the bye was against the in form, Шаблон:AFL Ade at the MCG, losing by twenty-two points; the match was described as a much closer match than what the scoreboard suggested. Melbourne returned to the Northern Territory for the second time during the season, this time in a thirty-two point win against Шаблон:AFL Fre in Darwin; it was also Melbourne's first win in the Northern Territory since 2011. In round 17, Melbourne returned to Etihad Stadium to play against St Kilda for the second time in the season, it was another disappointing loss and the fourteenth consecutive loss against St Kilda. The chance of playing finals was effectively ruled out by then-coach Paul Roos. The next four weeks was the best patch of football for Melbourne, with a narrow six point loss to Шаблон:AFL WC in Perth, in which West Coast coach, Adam Simpson declared Melbourne should have won the match. Three consecutive wins against Gold Coast, Hawthorn and Port Adelaide meant Melbourne were back in the frame to potentially play finals. The match against Hawthorn, labelled as one of the upsets of the season, drew high media attention as Hawthorn were on a nine-match winning streak, were on top of the ladder and Melbourne hadn't defeated Hawthorn since 2006. The win against Port Adelaide was also Melbourne's first victory against Port Adelaide in South Australia since 2000. Despite having a chance to play finals, Melbourne lost to an out of form Шаблон:AFL Car who had lost their previous nine matches, Melbourne's performance was described as "dispirited". The final match of the season saw Melbourne play at Simonds Stadium against Шаблон:AFL Gee, they suffered a 111-point loss, the worst for the season and outgoing coach, Paul Roos' biggest defeat in his coaching career.
