The AFL referred to the first home and away matches of the season as 'Opening Round', with Round 1 played the following week. Melbourne played back-to-back games at the Adelaide Oval in Round 3 and Round 4.
Melbourne started the season with two inactive players due to a provisional drug use suspension for Joel Smith and the enforce retirement of Angus Brayshaw due to concussion. Brayshaw's retirement happened a day after the deadline for the Supplemental Selection Period for clubs to add to their list. They were effectively down three men, with Jake Melksham unavailable for much of the season after injuring his knee in Round 23, 2023.
