Viney - continued disapppointing season

Salem - slow and indecisive 

Watts - played with heart

Petracca - missing when needed

Gawn - please hurry back

Tyson - played little part

Oliver - couldn't get involved

Stretch - some glaring errors

Kent - a pleasing return

Melksham - little to commend

Hannan - couldn't get involved

Vince - was rarely noticed

T.McDonald - stood up well

O.McDonald - was often lagging

Weideman - not the answer

Hunt - an excitement machine

Neal-Bullen - has few tricks

Garlett - didn't take chances

Smith - all at sea

Jetta - was almost flawless

Harmes - not a forward

 

 
 

Melksham continues to cop a bagging unfairly, he was good yet again.

And I would hardly describe Tim Smith's debut as "all at sea".

Hunt was amazing, but like others, he hit the wall  late in the game.


I thought trac was good

Neal-Bullen has few tricks?  Melksham had little to commend?

I want what you're smoking, Joe.  It's seriously good stuff.

Not your best work Joeboy

 

I usually agree with most of your post mortems but not today. This is a game that if we slotted 3 or 4 out of 10 easy shots for goal we would have won. Throw in a star ruckman out early and a game played where we have lost 20 or so out of the last 22 and I contend that the players werent as bad as you claim.

I think inexperience in hannon wied and smith contributed but all in all we had a crack to say the least. 


I know my watching was on TV, but I cannot believe some of the ratings given.

Watts : played with heart Plus a lot of skill. Plus should have silenced ALL doubters

Neal Bullen : Put in all day

OMac : Top 1%

TMac & Jetta: Bloody terrific

Stretch : Improved each match.

Petracca : Provided a focal point

Salem: a go-to machine

Oliver : Involved all right

Apart from their kicking I think today was one of the best efforts you could ask of a young still developing side. Proud of them

I tend to agree. I haven't been his biggest fan, he was woeful in round 1, but has been good since, with the odd mistake thrown in, like every other player.

Me Too ! I thought him serviceable today! Still needs to get body on body and do some pro running in summer with a running coach to get him at least looking like he can run! Still looks slow

Goalkicking: [censored] me dead!

I agree. This is sheer cruelty. Just consider how he compares with Tmac at the same stage. We were one tall short on the backline which made Hawkins' day too easy

What hasn't been noticed by many was the work and time Geelong put into Oliver. 

Make no mistake - Blicavs played a hard hard tag - a good choice as Clarrie couldnt get his arms up into the clear as Blicavs was so tall. Then he used his running capacity to run off him, and kicked a few. 

Clarrie didnt have the tank to go with him and this was one match up we didnt fix the longer it went on. Cost us offensively and defensively and was a rare piece of good coaching by Scott. 

Other than that - Geelong have no system. None. Their entire game revolves around selwood or dangerfield winning the clearance and tumble punting it to hawkins and hoping for the best. Some of their supporters were incredibly smug in the last and a few were complaining about the vocal dees fans.

Well, they managed to beat a team that beat themselves. I can't remember a team so reliant on so few players, it's absurd!

  • 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.

  • 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.
