I’ve got that feeling that this quarter is going to hurt us later tonight!!! FFS!

We really needed to snap the rubber band. Now we risk releasing it and having it whack back on our hand 

 

Exactly what happened the last two times. We need to start making the most of it or we are cooked

    This is what inexperience looks like.

    Can't fault the endeavour, but polish lacking. Hopefully they settle a bit in the second half.

     

    This reminds me of the port game, just hope the end result is different.

    Just need some poise in front of goal.

    Should have put them away that quarter.   Unbelievable amount of wasted opportunities.

    Absolutely. Spent a whole qtr keeping them in the game. Can't afford missed opportunities like that. Gotta make sure we come out in the third with the same intensity, but with smarter forward 50 decisions/general accuracy.

    There's no doubt we're in total control over the entire ground but it's simple: wasted opportunities, wasted opportunities, wasted opportunities.

    Agree. We've got all the ball. We just need to breathe when we get in the 50. So many things didn't need to be rushed.

    That quarter was bad Demons. We stopped looking for targets forward and started kicking long to the contest. Mental lapse. Hopefully they get their heads sorted for next quarter.

    Half time is about telling the players to keep doing the same thing again for another 60 minutes!! Just trust the system. The Goals will come! 

    That quarter was worthy of 6-8 goals!

    Premiership Quarter.

    This is us 

    Let it rip Dees

    Far too many missed opportunities. Very very costly.

    Stop looking at stats ..look at the nuances of the game.

    This is ours....go Dees

    Shocking miss by Neale Bullen started the rot in my opinion.

    Ugh! We did everything right but kick goals. Geelong will come back we know that. 

    Our tackling is great.

    Just need to steady at the start of this 3rd term. 

    Would love to see petracca light it up this quarter

    • 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.

    • 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.
