They aren't playing at AAMI apparently... it will be at the cricket ground (Adelaide Oval?).

Good news!

Game over, got the four points which is the most important thing in very tough conditions.

 

WELL DONE BOYS. 4 points in the heat.....not easy, i don't care who the oponent is.

I know that heat.

A very average coaching effort against the bottom side with a first year coach!

Get a clue and don't be so bloody pessimistic.

We got the 4 points (again) over in Darwin at a ground that is a real struggle with the instense humidity and "unfootball-like" conditions!

We beat Darwin... not Port Adelaide.

Exactly, it was a good performance against a team who plays there more often than us.

Rather uninspiring game of footy and not one I'll remember for life's eternity, but 4 points is better than 0 points.

Special mention to James Frawley, who in my opinion is UNSTOPPABLE in that kind of form. And to Stefan Martin, who has gone from borderline hack to pure awesomeness over one pre season.

Well done Demons.

Mrs Ucanchoose here - I've been reading this thread while watching the game, and finding myself more and more amused with the antics of some of the posters tonight regarding Tom Scully - it's like I'm reading the posts of a bunch of women on a parenting messageboard, arguing about the best way to toilet train your toddler!

it's quite ok to bag players like morton incessantly, but scully has a very average night and nobody is allowed to go near him! be realistic, we are allowed to say it as we see it.

It's always good to win, but stop making excuses - we would have been destroyed by a half good side, particularly one with good defensive skills!

I,m with you a good win. Just hope they are not stuffed next week


I really hate this Darwin game, it gives this rabble of a team in Port a chance to beat us and it completely stuffs us for the following week.

Agreed. Tonight's crowd was the smallest attendance out of all games at TIO. Majority of them seemed to support Port.

Only thing that seemed to indicate that it was a Melbourne home game was the navy shorts!

Was Scully in the huddle there? I didn't see him!

He wasn't there. Halfway through I was looking for him and realised when they mentioned a 'team bonding win'

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
