[censored] me dead. How many times do we need to kick to that exact same spot, and have it intercepted by THE EXACT SAME PLAYER, before we decide to kick somewhere else. Christ some serious questions need to be asked about our players. 

That idiotic kick from Tyson was the equivalent of last week's Gunston poster which resulted in our goal.

    He’s not alone, but Joel Smith has had a shocker today. Not sure it was a great move bringing him in for a prelim so early in his career. He still hasn’t shown he’s even afl standard, let alone ready to play finals.

    I think oscar has done a good job today

    He has, but someone will pipe up no doubt.

    They have been exposed today. No doubt Lever’s return will help. The last 2 weeks the oppositionhave only had 1 good KPF, we still get exposed with 2 decent tall forwards.

    Omac and Frost are an example of where we lack polish and need to be supporting a primary KPD

    But today shouldn't be their measure as their midfield mates completely torched them

     

    Vanders has been good this second half. Thank god someone has the balls to take on the opposition instead of firing off a panicked handball.

    I actually think Oscar has played well considering the complete lack of midfield pressure and the quality of player he’s been playing on. 

    Also if Petracca doesn’t learn to kick this summer he needs to F off. Sick of his goal kicking.

    If anyone has come to the conclusion that Jordan Lewis is to blame for this then you need some serious psychotropic medication.

    Although it is an expedient thing to have a whipping boy.

    Another possible interpretation?

    He’s having a shocker and he’s not on his own

    I’m off to the Doctor tomorrow morning for some of that Medicine 

    Believe he’s been a liability all year

    Cant have a bloke in the side for excellent finger pointing who won’t chase or tackle except on the odd occasion when he feels like it

    Have they taken Gawn off for a reason? Injured??


    Fritsch would be feeling dirty right now. Not that he was the difference between a win or loss but Joel hasn't exactly set the world on fire. 

    Oscar has been pretty good. Lewis, Jones, Tyson have all had shockers. 

    Oh God, how did Weid miss that? This is like nightmare fuel. 


    New boot supplier please

     

    We have been exposed by our own poor play and NOT by Kennedy and Darling. Eight goals for Meth Coast in the first half resulted from crappy handball turnovers.

    Crappy grand final coming up. Sorry to offend the purists but I'd rather have seen GWS and Gold Coast

    Let’s not let this debacle degrade us or define us

    Many many positives from the season but mentally and physically overwhelmed on the big stage.  It happens. 

    We have come a long way.  Time to move on and look ahead to how and where we can improve. 

    I think we thought we were good enough against the Cats this year, up to Semi's. 

    The Hawks as well, but was a slightly bigger stretch for us... we overcame almost too much, in one sitting, to digest in the one season...

    With the new charges coming into the side this year,,, Spargo, Weidemen, the new Frost, jSmith, Fritta,  we've gone realistically as far as anyone could expect, in 2018__

    Fritsch might feel better that he wasn’t part of this debacle.

    • 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.
