Blind Freddy can see how slow we are in the middle. Totally exposed at the moment. 

Needed to change the set up on ball ups. Max should be trying to belt it forward to set up an even contest,  instead little tap down and they clear and spread.

No pace. 

Crap disposal.

Harsh on Lewis.  I don't think he's been that bad.  At least he's gotten his hands on the ball a little, unlike many others.

Lewis isn't the problem, it's further up the ground and around the ball.

Yep, we've been found out a little today and I can't see us coming back from here.

We've looked a little flat, as if the last few weeks have taken it out of us a little.  Too many players down and not enough gut running.  The last few minutes summed up the day - we went inside 50 4 times for nothing, then they run it out with ease and kick a goal.  It's what was happening to us earlier in the season and it's happening here again today.

I don't see us winning this game but we've got another 30 minutes to make a response.

We’ve had a nine day break. Last few weeks had nothing to do with it.

I say again, we all look at the Pederson's, Lewis, Vince for leadership . . . But it's JONES again in a big game as captain, giving us fuckall. He trailed Mayne to the ball 3 times in the last 2 minutes. Goal. 

 

This is unacceptable from a skipper. Sorry, we all love the bloke for sticking fat but these are different times. Step up or step down stuff now


They were waiting for this game, that other mob have been steeling themselves for this for a while.

Belted around the ball today. Shocking!

Filthy game.

Given into my 3 year old and now watching peppa pig. 

And I REALLY hate that obnoxious bratty pig.

 

Hogan having a shocker. I think the Pedo v Weid debate is over. And poor JV although ok is no where near his best form. Anb and Gus have been outstanding in the last month but absent today. Spargo is he injured? He started so well. Poor Vince needs to consider retirement. Lewis not too far away. Petracca is just so very average and will not become a Dangerfield. 

We may make the 8 but we aint gonna win a flag this year. Still better than Dees of 3 years ago at least but this is not a Premiership side at all. Need some gun players that rip these big games part.

Tmac has fought well.

Too many old slow players - Vince, Lewis, Jones. Can’t have them all in the same side. Pederson, yet again, is just not up to it. 

Forward defensive pressure & press non existent today

Smashed in the clearances all day. Lost it in the middle.

The back-line have panicked with the amount of ball that has come in non-stop, whilst the forward line hasn't been all too effective with the limited ball that has been in our forward 50.

Time to bring in Hunt for Bernie?

He's not offering much anymore is old Bernie. At least with Hunt there's a bit of pace, something we have severely lacked today.

All these people calling for Vince and Lewis to be dropped where have you been the last 6 weeks, silly to judge a player off 1 game


Time to retire Jones from ball ups

38-20 in clearances. Pathetic. 

Gawn has wasted every hit out. Got nothing from Jones, Viney or Oliver. Brayshaw wasted on the wing. Bad selection with Pederson. We needed speed. Hunt should have played. 

Nobody will come close to replacing Lever. I think we will make the 8, but we look like just ladder fillers.

Amazing hunt wasn't already in today. We knew Collingwood had us for pace but did zero about it again. Hunt on a wing today at least would have shut down a bunch of those pie fast breaks up the wing

let a [censored] yank walk all over us [censored] me ive seen it all now.

Sidebottom wins a 4 v 1, [censored] me

Poor BV is cooked. All day I have been waiting to see a dees player lay a solid tackle that makes a pies player think twice but alas we just haven't shown ANY grit.

Beaten in every facet of the game

 

Collingwood clearly a better contested ball team, quicker, sharper, better tacklers, and more depth. And we can't play the big stage. In respect to premiership possibilities, today proves we shouldn't even be in the conversation. For all the BS about QB being our GF, today it was a rehearsal, and we've been exposed as frauds. Utter frauds. Such is the MFC.

  • 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.

    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.
