    Anyone can win any game.

    Too right. A timely reminder for people who set the bar too low and put losses down to 'development'.

    Footy's not as complex as it's made out to be. It's 44 blokes versus 44 blokes and the group which want the damned thing more can beat any opposition on any given day.

    I was openly cheering for them in that last quarter.

    ..and thank god it wasn't us. :) Poort will never live this one down.

    It's also a timely reminder to those who managed to find something to whine about after a 90 point victory.

    As was I. Very pleasing for them.

    "Poort", bwahaha.

    Referring to anyone in particular Nash?

    When one very ordinary side plays another ordinary side then anything can happen. And suggesting that its comparable to when a top 4 side plays a side with a cumulative 1000 games less experience is laughable.

    If we dont beat port over there this year we have issues.

    Well, that didn't take long. I was just reading down this thread, wondering how long someone would manage to see a problem for Melbourne in all this.

    We have, as you put it, issues, as it is, whether we beat Port or not. When we stop having "issues", we'll be premiers ... multiple times over.

    Well done Dees, nice 90 point win over GC.

    Greetings all.

    Having resided up here in sunny SE Queensland since my retirement two years ago, I've remained a staunch Demon but I also have a soft spot for the new local crowd down the road at Carara where a magnificent new stadium is being developed in readiness for GCS's game v Geelong later this year.

    None of this prevented me from enjoying the Dees' 15 goal demolition of the newbies on Sunday. Conditions were warm, humid and uninviting for a physical game like footy and it was inevitable that mistakes would be made by both teams. I'm amazed that some people are hypercritical of a team that recorded such an annihilation - Ablett or no Ablett.

    Which brings me to the question of the Suns' first win. I was watching the Marngrook Footy Show on the Thursday night before the game and Norf Melbourne's Matty Campbell was on the panel. He was the only panelist to tip GCS to win their first game on Sunday against us because "Melbourne don't travel well."

    Well well well. Congrats BrB.

    I hope you enjoyed that one.

    They'll be 15th, end of the round. But that's still a step up from 17th.

    Substitute North for WCE and the bottom 5 were reasonably predictable. Each of the sides over the course of the year will have their day in the sun but over the course of the year there shortcomings will continue to be exposed by more talented teams playing focussed football.

    I think their song is not bad. Definately there are far worse.

    Congrats to the Suns, Fantastic last quarter. I was getting right into the game at the end. There is no doubt that Swallow is an absolute star.

    Freee-o, way to go...

    I, too, got right into the game when it appeared that they might have a sniff.

    The young kids were doing ok and sucking up the pressure from their more experienced opponents. Ablett was leading the way along with the ex Lions and the young kids were getting more confidence as the game got closer.

    Well done GC. I will be following their progress this year and may even go watch a game or two.

    We were predicting last week the team we thought would be first to lose to them and it was North that was considered the most likely. I dont think anyone expected them to beat Port over there but there you go.. where there is a will, there is a way and they showed lots of will.

    K.B. has to walk home from Adelaide...What a classic.

    We must SMASH Port when we play them, here and over there.

    To lose that game on your Home heap when 40 points up is inexcusable.

    Port should never have been admitted into the AFL, thanks so much Wayne Jackson. The Power are going to cost us all a lot of $$, maybe we could send the bills to you Jackson.

    Glad we played the Suns last week, our 90 point win was ok with me.

    After all the whinging and wrist-slashing that has taken place on here this week, I wonder if a few people will change tact after today.

    I'm sorry, but I can't help laughing every time I see "change tact" - one of the classics.

    • 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.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. 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.
