Is Gawn struggling with the captaincy? 
He’s having a shocker.

    Geez, I haven't seen Gawny play a game like this for ages. He seems crook or something.


    Better but still wasteful. 

    Surely Stafford is on thin ice.  no forward structure last season looks like its continuing here.

     

    Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

    Yeah something's off. Looks very lethargic.

    Absolutely ****house!! Seems like the lads don't want to be there.

    I'd wager most of them actually don't want to be there and I don't blame them. Pointless playing AFL under the circumstances.

    Only three highlights. Performance of Viney, Lockhart and Pickett.

    Performance of Gawn, brayshaw, TMac, Tomlinson, Oliver, Melksham, Brown, etc has been pathetic.

    Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

    I know it’s in fashion to beat on OMac but he’s been very good. Has done more than May and Lever

    So many player’s disposals have been terrible, but Hibberd’s have been nothing short of damaging to us. 
     

    I’m annoyed that this season stoppage is going to take the heat off Goodwin. He’ll likely stay coach till 2021, by sheer default. I cannot wait till we have a real one.

    Oliver, Brayshaw and Gawn are MIA.


    After watching the first half, I'm certain the team has the coronavirus.

    The symptoms are all there:

    - Fatigue (walking around)

    - Coughing (up the ball)

    - Fever (explains the poor decision making)

    Hoping for a full recovery in time to make the finals this year...

    Honestly... Ive hated Goody's game plan since he implemented it. Can look amazing when it clicks. Dominating the game but bombing into the forward lines followed by the easiest transition for opposition goal is terrible to watch. So frustrating.

    Remember when we had Paul Roos who was defence first and focused on reducing fumbles. Wtf happened to that? How did we 'transition' to this chaos ball rubbish?

    My husband said he looks sick. Maybe he’s not well (no Corona jokes). But it’s the worse game I’ve seen him play for some time.

    • 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.
