Melbourne played 14 games at the MCG, 10 of which were home games. They also played a home match at TIO Stadium in Darwin against Port Adelaide in Round 9.[1] It was Dean Bailey's third year as senior coach. James McDonald continued as the club's captain until retiring at the end of the year.

In August, Melbourne announced it was officially debt free.[2] The same night Melbourne also unveiled its new logo.[3]
