Don’t worry Goodwin has 4 more years to not fix anything. 

Seems like we get beaten exactly the same way every time by Collingwood.

Wonder what our theory is with allowing to happen every time? Perhaps we are trying to bore them to death the pounce while they are not paying attention.

    Viney being held long before he takes possession, he needs to learn to tap it on rather than take the ball sometimes. He'd have 3 or 4 free kicks already.

    we can still win this. too many poor handballs and missed marks. Hopefully our backline can settle down. some of these have not played together for a while so may take some time to sort themselves out. go dees

    The people critical of vineys leadership and bad disposal the same calling for Gawn to be captain he started  the chain of handball clangers with a 1 metre handball miss at the first clearance 

    Not a reasonable argument based on one piece of play. Viney is a 1960s sort of Captain, head down barrel in push forward at all costs. No head for the game. A bad influence on our style of play.

    You did see the Neeld period right?

    Yes I did, back then we never had possession to display a skill error?

    [censored] Spargo

    Good vision Petracca. Keep it up.


    Yep, lost patience with Spargo, at this moment at least.

    Back to Casey, you'll get there mate, just keep at it

    A 2nd year 19 year old is currently tearing our defence to shreds

    there... Tracca is a midfielder.!

    He leans forward to kick, when on the run to kick long.

    • 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.
