N.Jones- had little impact

Watts - relevant no longer

Dawes - tried without impacting

Viney - failed to impose

Frawley - going through motions

Tyson - prolific , not damaging

Dunn - just a game

Kent - was rarely sighted

Cross - professional as expected

Garland - was hardly noticed

Michie - a Casey performance

Kennedy - Harris - just a kid

McDonald - amateur against professional

Riley - effective when subbed

Barry - some hurried efforts

Gawn - one promising light

Howe - loose but classy

Jamar - probably broke even

Bail - continued poor form

M.Jones - little to commend

Jetta - brave and relentless

Vince - few worthwhile possessions

    Trolls night out?

    Hawks are top of the table or thereabouts, we found a few who can play against contenders , we've got 1/2 a dozen NQR we know about and a couple who have had plenty of chances were sorted from previous week.

    Prefer it to last week thanks.

    Each of our players was playing against a TOP opponent and had team mates that fully supported each other, the analysis above would suggest we lost by 100+ points. A lot of players did not get a lot of stats but did their bit, i thought it was a pretty good team effort marred by our inability to get the ball into our forward line often enough and lack of ball skill which resulted in us missing targets and turning the ball over frequently.

    Last week the Hawks polished off the Bulldogs by 62 points in a canter. Our effort wasn't that horrible. Couple of babies in the best in the seconds as well. More work needed but we're on the right trail.

    I watched the game and found Dom Barry okay when he was involved in the play. He ran hard both ways, was part of a few useful linking plays out of the backline and used it well when he got it. He looked lost at times, yet other times read the play well. Look, he has a long way to go, but the fact he started on the ground and was odds on to be subbed and wasn't (that honor went to Bail) shows he is progressing.Given he signed a new deal, I was happy to see some of the progress the club obviously sees with him.

    Gawn must play the final 3 rounds. I think the Russian's best football is now behind him, and I think he might have one year left in the tank, two at best. That leaves the cupboard bare for ruck prospects outside of Gawn. He needs to be thrust into the #1 ruck role sooner rather than later. Outside of Gawn there are some question marks of Spencer and Fitzy, and King is miles off. If Gawn isn't ready for the #1 job by the end of next season we are going to struggle moving forward.

    Jetta gave Puopolo a bath! If he had played 20 rounds this year he would be a lock for an AA backman.

    Agree. The ins this week have upside the outs don't.

    totally agree, the pessemistic attitude of most on this site is tiresome at best!!!!

    Very hard on Jamar (won clearly in the ruck) Michie and Tom McDonald. Have a look at Roughhead's goals--several were gifts on the goal line

    Jamar....tries hard...delist.

    One of the more absurd comments I've ever encountered.

    The previous week he easily beat Stefan Martin in the ruck (yes Stefan got a number of possessions but rarely on Jamar) and again this week he won the ruck contests.

    It's stupid he's not in the leadership group. He is giving 110 percent

    Giving 110% doesn't necessarily make you a leader.

    It's just a matter of opinion, but I think your comment is absurd.

    I'm not alone in thinking Mark Jamar has passed his use-by date.

    Many would challenge your contention that he "easily beat" Stef Martin against Brisbane. I reckon Stef's annihilation of Jamar was crucial in their defeat of us.

    He was better v. the Hawks, but I felt big Max Gawn showed he's a class above.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      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? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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.
