Give Lewis his 300th game this week and retire him.

Start getting some games into the players

on the fringe in the next 5 weeks to see what we have for next year.

    Lewis is not going to play in a Premiership at this Football Club, 300 games well done great career and join the coaching team.

    Nice, Sweet, efficient move on to 2019, 2018 a complete waste of everyones time and energy.

    Terrible comment. 

    We are playing the next 5 weeks to play finals, not worry about next year.

    Exactly. We aren't a bottom four side that needs to blood the kids. We had a set back last night but we are still right in the frame to play finals.

    Whaaaaat?

    Anything other than maximum focus on winning every game is madness. Lewis has had some less than stellar games this year but is overall a pretty good contributor who is in the current best 22, particularly with the injuries we have.

    Are people really already sooking their way out of trying for the rest of the year? More comfortable to fail if you just say 'oh, never mind, there was never a chance anyway'? I mean, I'm a pathetic loser myself in most things, but to wish it upon your football club is just bad form.

    Not trying to win every game this year would be 'loser mentality'. We have to be better than this now. We may not win enough games to make it this year but we do have the ability if things go right.

    In 2019 I will do something I haven’t done before.

    put on some decent size bets on demons for the premiership, top4 and top8 and no13 to win the Brownlow.

    Forget 2019.    We are going to make the finals this season, and we are going to win a final.

    Its going to be glorious.

    Watching Footy Classified tonight I nearly fell of my chair when they mentioned the AFL are considering giving out three priority picks this season Carlton, Gold Coast and St Kilda. No words could describe how [censored] I will be if any of them get a priority pick let alone all three.

    For real?? St Kilda??? Did they give reasons and what they are basing this on?

    From 2012-2017 Saints have won 50 games and we have won 39.

    Caro said that the AFL feel the Saints list is in worse shape than Carlton’s. Which to be fair it probably is. But all we were told when we were rubbish was get your culture right put the right people in place you shouldn’t get rewarded for your own mistakes. It’s absolute hypocrisy, but I guess that is the AFL.

    • 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.
