    Has been a big bear of mine but when did they take the chopping the arms rule out of the game?!?! 

    Feel like we need to get a big lead by half time as we’ll fade out.

    ps there are some Dogs players I really enjoy watching play footy. And like to see Schache playing some good footy too.

    14-4 clearances Dogs way. We really took notice of the first time we played them. 

     

    Jones is angering me now. He is the main 'handball to someone under the pump' guy and he turns over by foot. He genuinely is an issue, a Melbourne of old player. His defensive running is outrageously slow too.

    How is that not under pressure?

    Oscar McDonald is playing way too far up the field for a fullback IMO.

     

    Based on the evidence thus far, we will come second today.

    Umpiring gets worse every week if that is possible.

    We are just pumping it into our 50M with zero reward.

    How long can we keep doing this?


    Carbon copy of our game Vs Saints atm. Dogs working harder to win the ball.

    This. 1000 times this. 

    Don't know if it's effort or structure or talent, but they killed us there last time.

    Gonna be an offensive slog today. Just gotta win it, and the best defensive running team across 4 quarters will get the win.

    Glad I pay for WatchAFL and woke up early (UK) to watch a screen showing me how many minutes I'm missing

    If ever that happens, try coming in through Channel (in the middle up the top), rather than Matches.


    More certain than death and taxes is that Melbourne will blast away inside 50 with long kicks not to advantage

    Just figured that one out, thanks! Good to know next time these muppets can't get their website working. Looks like I didn't miss much

    Its rinse and repeat isnt it.

    There is no poise or class. Its spray and pray.

    so much crowding of the wings when we have the ball, who the he'll coaches these Muppets, creating space is a junior footy tactic 

    Garlett, JKH are both cooked. Garlett's lack of forward pressure is infuriating. He's "throw the hands out to show you're making an attempt to tackle" stands out so much.

    throw him in the middle.

     

    doggies just like the saints moving it by hand fast and opening us up in the back half. Already been discussed how sides can do this to us. Saints openly talked about it after the game...SURELY they have something up their sleeve?????

    • 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.

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.
