    Garland is a big issue. I know he is coming back from injury but his fumbling, poor decision making and touch are costing us.

    It isn't a case of we are playing one down, he is contributing to the opposition.

    He is a much better player but there has to be a time when he needs to back and find touch.

    Nicho - Shouldn't have played

    Watts frustratingly lazy disposal

    Terlich - outlived his usefulness

    Kent - poor for 2weeks

    Jetta - loved his effort

    Barry - deserves next week

    Grimes - best game yet

    Viney - shut down Libba

    Salem - needs Casey time

    Bail - doesn't offer enough

    M Jones - same as Bail

    Umpires - should be ashamed

    Frawley - Jones, one disposal

    M Jones - Played his role

    Nicho - Played within limitations

    Gawn - Presented when required

    Barry - Showed some glimpses

    Possessions mean absolutely nothing when you continue to butcher it constantly like Garland and Bail did today.

    SEN commentators gave Frawley the 3 votes? I didn't see the game and only listened to the last half but all agreed Chip was the most influential player.

    That's because so many on here are letting his contractual situation completely colour their views regarding his play. Having said that he did make some mistakes and I didn't think he should have got the 3 votes.

    Agreed. Although there is no way he was top 3 today in any way shape or form. A few of his clangers were so so costly i'm still sore from them, definitely wasn't the only one who wasn't clean with the footy today though.

    Jamar:

    Palmed to Footscray.

    I thought Russian had a pretty handy game but you're right. There were a couple where he beat Minson & then palmed the ball straight to him. Why would you bother ?

    Hahaha.

    M. Jones played a good game?

    M. Jones? Watch the replay?

    Your post is great because of you know, obviously terrible today.

    I was at the game and I had Frawley clearly BOG. Liam Jones had 1 possession and was subbed off at 3/4 time. He absolutely dominated them in the defensive 50. As good as he's been presenting as a lead-up forward his real position if Full Back and he showed today that he is still AA quality.

    You can't give BOG to a guy who regularly butchers the ball and somehow turns our advantage to a 50/50 with horrible execution.

    Liam Jones is cold, cold, cold, hot, cold anyway; so keeping Jones quiet has been simple for most of the year.

    For Frawley's sake, I hope he has his suitors conned as well as 70% of us MFC supporters. He is fool's gold.

    Thats the same Jones who was the probably the reason the Dogs got over the line against Collingwood 2 weeks ago ?

    And as for turning advantage into 50/50's - as opposed to a lot of what I saw yesterday - where we turned advantage into disadvantage.

    He wasn't in my opinion BOG but we have a lot more footballers that I am scratching my head over other than Frawley.

    • 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.
