* Note: Ave attributes and total players by games is from previous round.  Does not include Ins & Outs for this week.  Rough guide only.

Top 10 Players Last Round Comparison - Score / Rank*

* Apologies to Maxy as comparative score does not account for Maxy's Hit Outs to Advantage, which would no doubt place him easily in the top 10 last week.  However, Ryder is also missing this stat which indicates he was probably in their top 3.

Overall Team Score Comparison (from each team's last encounter)

Power:  70.10^    Demons:  63.46^

Differential:   Demons -6.64

^ includes the Demon "Ins" of Tyson & Tim Smith.  Does not include the power "In" of Jonas.

Statistically the Demons dropped form substantially vs the Pies from the previous week's game (vs the Bulldogs).   The Power are not playing at Collingwood's level but are still tracking marginally better than us on paper.

Adding the usual 4 goal advantage from the umps to Power's scoreline, this one looks on paper (statistically) to be a solid win for the Power.

Pure Stats Predictor:  The Power by 43 points

    Port by 40

    How many times do you reckon Bruce will say the following in tonight’s telecast:

    ”You just get the feeling we’re going to learn a bit about these two sides tonight...don’t you”?

    We can win this if we set the tone early and Port have an off night. If Westhoff and Dixon and Robbie Gray are blitzing it early, then it’s going to be a long night.

    Holy shut the door!  

    2KW bar nice and pricey.... plenty of Dee’s scarfs around but not a single Port bogan in sight. ?

    If it is pricey, explains the absence of Port supporters

    Ouch. That will not be good. 

    Disaster comes to mind


    I'm pretty relaxed and pragmatic.  

    If we're a genuine top 4 team we'll win, as these are the games you have to win to deserve top 4.  And if we lose I'll be comforted by the knowledge we're still a year, or two away.

    Either way I'll learn a lot.

    It feels weird being a friday night and our footy team is playing. Lets hope it sets up a good weekend. 

    No late changes. Starting bench. Melbourne: James Harmes, Mitch Hannan, Bernie Vince, Bayley Fritsch

    I’m tipping Port in a close one 

    would love to be wrong

    Great idea, but don't expect a forthcoming response - it would remain 'eyes only in confidence'. What would the general public know about it? Don't spend dollars on it either. Not worth the inquiry. Just a bit of fun ... perhaps.

    Well, we could always start a totally add free unbiased one, maybe even sponsored.............

    Following this from the Greek isles. Will be midway between Alonnisos and Skopelos. Pretty sure the ferry has wi-fi. Previous years have not gone well for us when I've followed from afar. Better performance this time hopefully. Black arm bands?

    Gutsy, but why not?

    Wife sees me cooking dinner with a bourbon instead of a beer and gives me the "ill go in the other room and let you scream at the tv after dinner" look.

     

    Poor partners of demon supporters.

    My confidence has grown through the week. Thought Garlett would be in. Smith worries me as this is s massive game and I would of gone with Garlett, Weideman and kept Spargo. Would of dropped Hannan/Harmes for Tyson and played Jones on the wing. 

    Dees by 26

    I would have gone Pedo, Frosty, Garlett, JSmith in, TSmith not in, Petty plus Baker, drop Vince and Lewis, keep Spago to shirtfront Westhoff. No arguments.

    To be followed by Ling with 'Yeah exactly right Bruce!' His BT version is a good one also.

    • 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.
