How many free kicks have the Eagles had inside 50 directly in front of goal? At least 7? Not saying it's the reason we're losing but the umpiring is farcical. 

That chase from Jones and Lewis was putrid too. 

Eagles .. 3 inside 50's this quarter = 3 goals

Hell we're back where we were at the start of this season !!

    Just bench Lewis for the game.

    Retire -get out of my sight you hack.

    Jordan Lewis has been horrific. Costly, classless. A spent force.

    Most have been there though Fang.

    i’m more Pi$$ed at the efforts of Lewis a so called leader.

     

    lol Petracca decides to kick to a contest in the goal square when he could've just kicked for goal, after we haven't taken a mark inside 50 all game. Mindboggling stuff.

    Sums up the day’s play.

    Started early when we had passed all the time when the game was to be won.

    Even the bounce is against us.

    Lewis has to retire after this. He must put his head on the chopping block voluntarily, as act of atonement. He has a leadership role, yet played like a young fool. Enough.

    Yep Trac needs to really pull his finger out and fully commit to this coming preseason

    The aftermath of today will be crucial. The Club has to be tough on this. This preformance cannot be repeated. 

    We know what happens when it does

    Everything gone their way. Every bounce. Every crucial kick. 

    It is not our day but I hope we keep playing til the last minute because a destruction like this can really damage our future.

    Ok, that Darling goal really does explain the day. Wow! Luck is a very powerful thing.

    That Hannan bounce followed by the Darling bounce just shows today wasn't our day.

    They need to understand, this may be our last chance for a while

    Rubbish.

    Geelong spanked the Pies in the 2009 Prelim by 90 points. Pies won the 2010 flag.

    Just one of those days. Thought we'd struggle given the emotional wave we've been on but thought we'd be on early.

    What does interest me is the return of many posters who were strangely missing when we were up

    • 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.

    • 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.
