thanks for the feedback guys.

Would like to know more about Marics injury but sounds like both are having significant operations.

Maric especially will have been with us 2 years by seasons end, but feels like he has been around for just a few games.

    Damn it. I really was hoping Strauss was going to get some game time this year. Pity that neither him nor Blease will get on the park this year.

    Mind you, it doesn't seem to have hurt Grimes.

    The important thing is for them to recoup in time to get a good preseason under their belts. The remainder is still a dead rubber no matter how you play it realy. Yes..all good if you can get games in, but better if you are really fit.

    Doggo, I think it's 6 weeks on crutches then 6-8 in the moon boot (or other way around), so I assume it's due off soon

    Thanks for that Roger.

    It's a shame to hear this, as both are an important part of our future IMO. I would've liked to have seen Strauss in action, as he has a great kick and abit of pace. Exactly what we need. And "[censored]" Maric is going to be a star IMO.

    Hopefully they get a good uninterrupted preseason and can tear it up next year!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
