in Melbourne Demons

Quite conflicted about who I want to lose more here. West Coast look thoroughly beatable playing like this, I wouldn't hold any fears playing them at Optus in week 3. Collingwood at the G, on the other hand, not sure. Hmmmm.

    Meth Coke supporters are the worst in the AFL.  What the hell is with the constant booing?

    Theyve been doing it for years and still dont realize how moronic it is.

    It happens when you are a one team town. Go to a soccer international and you'll see far worse

    As much as I hate the filth if they can get over wet coke then good luck to them. It shows you that the eagles don't have a very good midfield. It's actually not a bad game.

    Looking for a pie win, I think its better that we don't need to travel and we seem to the players to again win at the G with our pressure.

    Its not that wet in Perth, so those slips are obviously from the new grass, maybe not enough depth in the roots yet?

    Also torn. West Coast look more beatable.

    But then, assuming we get past next week I'd love to be at the prelim and love to knock out the Filth

    Kennedy is horrifically underdone, looks shocking tonight.

    Just a comedy of fumbles and errors from West Coast.

    But Kennedy/darling get a game under their belt plus another weeks rest would see them play much better.  

    At this point neither side would not stand up to our pressure (based on last night).  This game is not a intense as ours and tigers game.

    Very torn in this game. Just don’t want to hear Collingwood fans up and about.

    Unless you live in Western Australia or you don't go to the footy, why would you want Collingwood to lose? Don't you want to see your team live in a Prelim?

    Not sure why the Eagles are still just bombing it into Kennedy after he hasn't taken a mark inside 50 all match. Such a one-dimensional attacking strategy, easily being countered by Buckley, flooding defence.

    Mmmm.   A very familiar pattern that we saw far too often especially up until about 4 weeks ago.

    But wouldn't be far sweeter for us to beat them than just beating the Eagles .... not many over here to gloat over.

    How was that not a reversal after the late retaliation?

    Collingwood can thank Eddie Betts for that behind.

    • 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.
