Gawn - time your rucking

Cross - completed set tasks

Newton - stealth like presence

Garland - average like performance

Pedersen - frustrates with inconsistency

Vince - leather poisoning effort

McDonald - beaten badly (in) blockbuster

Riley - Ineffective throughout game

Garlett - provided linebreaking goals

Howe - great set shots

Jetta - had hands full

M.Jones - provided some run

Fitzpatrick - Tunnel ball blunder

vandenBerg - strong when on

 

I reckon joeboy's comment on McDonald is very harsh and completely misguided. Players have poor games sometimes; he's been arguably our best player over the season, I think it's grossly unfair to accuse him of an over-inflated ego after one poor performance.

I seem to be following you around today Nasher.

Might be a little harsh but compiling that list using just three words would be a very hard job.

I sure as hell could not do it.

I forgive you joeboy

 

Old Dee he could have used

Lowered his colours

Beaten today

Beaten by Cloke

Etc etc

Yes he could have

But I don't mind a little emotion especially if he was [censored] about losing that game.

I think on a couple of others he was very generous.

The comments would have been more barbed from me if I had the skill in the first place.


I generally look forward to the 3 word descriptions, but this one is just too

described jack watts as a "bipolar performances" is absurd, apart from being hugely insulting about this very unfortunate condition. The Regs should censor this immediately

One of my relatives is bipolar, and I can tell you Jack Watts is so far away from bipolar that it is not funny. If this poster is determined to insult our number one draft pick, thereby ensuring he leave, then it may give him varcarious pleasure, but it makes this demon suppiorter extremely angry. All it will do is ensure he leaves. God we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes.

Pc police alert!

I think the coaching staff might have erred too. Sometimes they don't get every matchup right. Sometimes the balance between reacting (and changing) and persisting (trust...no panic) is a fine line.

I like the 3 word analysis; but it fails to take into consideration coaching box issues.

Paul Roos said no one maned up on Oxyley and players didn't listen to the coach's intructions. I assumed he was a defender who accumulated a stack disposals and hence screwed the Dees chance of a win. Didn't both teams play an extra man in defence?How can

have someone play on Oxley when we have a spare player in defence? Can someone please make sense of it?

Hogan beaten .. Really .. 1 goal & marking contest created another.... Ball going into fwd line like big bombs...

You are aware he is nicknamed Arro and Gancy within the club.

He was beaten on the day...

Clearly beaten, looked tired.

He was talking about the forwards competing and ensuring he was kept accountable. He didn't necessarily want a specific man on him, just that the forwards were to make sure he didn't get the easy mark, as he did over and over again.

Collingwood also did very well to subtly stop our forwards getting to him, which is against the rules, but it was well hidden.

I almost agree - I don't think our forwards were hard enough at it on the long ball (rather than them being subtly stopped)

If we bombed it long and it went to the only person in defense being the Collingwood loose player then I have problem - but Oxley took numerous marks in and around our forwards. They didn't make a contest.

It was a combination of both, in the first half he was happy to have the loose in our backline, but from half time onwards he wanted us to go to a 7 man forward line and man up the loose man.

The second point about protecting the marking space was something i was surprised about on game day, but the collingwood players did it really well and its something we need to do better in our backline when we have the loose.


Chris,Nutbean and Mad_Melbourne comments on Oxley were well explained,nothing like pointing out the obvious to a mere Deemon supporter probably should have taken the red pill.Was it a coincidence in the MATRIX there were references to BLUE and RED pills?

Chris are you getting use to being disappointed after the Dees loss to St.Kilda……….. bonus early draft picks and another re build (mark 8)

  • 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.

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
