    No such thing as 'only a scratch match' !   This is the only MFC action this week as we arent playing March series.

    Important first hit out of the season for two of your young stars in Brayshaw and Fristch.

    Pickett on show again.  Another chance for Mitch brown to impress ahead of Round 1.

    Jordon, Rivers, Sparrow., Bradtke....  so much potential there.

    Can Bedford step up and show what hes capable of?

    I'm still surprised that Luke Jackson isn't playing. I get that they want to manage the loads of the younger players and perhaps they have him earmarked for early senior games so they don't want him to burn out. If that isn't the case then I'm baffled that he isn't playing in this game where he can get a taste of the ruck or play as a key forward or even some midfield minutes. I hope it's not this weeks mystery injury of the week.

    It also could mean that they are still unsure of when Gawn will be back, so safe guarding our depleted ruck stocks.

    The fact that we have to add 8 VFL players versus only 1 by North suggests to me we are going into this game under manned.

    My gut feel suggests like last week we will be in for a poor result scores wise.

    That's what I'm also getting with a bit of audio from the game in the background.

    Same, may change soon though.

    On my count we have 4-5 best 22 players and they have 13-14 so it will be a bit of a flogging me thinks

    this is a bit disappointing. At least i can see others have the same issue and its not my PC, or inability to log in using my memebership.

    Working Now!

    Which doesn't matter one bit.  Why would it?

    It's all about fitness and getting some run into the legs.  Nothing more.

    Exactly I hate losing as much as the next guy but this scratch match is about getting run in the legs, game time into kids and hopefully no injuries.

    Goal to Spargo. 

    Was it Bedford with the nice pass?  Obviously this isn't top line stuff so they didn't zoom in when it went into our forward line.  It was good movement though.

    As Burgess has previously stated, it's about getting the miles into the legs for the entire list, ready for round 1.

    • 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.
