Immediately after the game Gawn was on Twitter. The club's leadership and cultural issues persist.

    At least we kept Daniher quiet.

    Positives:

    No turnovers.

    Backline kept the opposition scoreless.  May and Lever anchored us well.

    Hussle around the packs and pressure from the mids and forwards didn't allow them to touch the ball at all.

    Bombers are absolute knobs.

    Negatives:

    Conor McKenna.

    We didn't score.

    We struggled again with that mid forward connection and couldn't get the ball inside 50 once.

    Tom McDonald to cop it again this week after not clunking a single mark.

    Thoughts?

    One correction, Conor McKenna was one of the positives.

    Good to see Bennell got through another week and Vanders didn’t break his foot for a change.

    I thought some of the outer fringe shows at the Comedy Festival were appallingly unfunny, this topic takes the top spot

    Perhaps this is an attempted joke. Who knows.

    But saty your relentless bagging of fellow posters, individually and collectively is becoming exhausting. 

    The great irony is that you bag posters for their supposed negativity. Ironic because it reflects a seeming complete lack of self awareness given how negative you so often are of late.

    I know I can put you on ignore (I have done so previously). But i'd rather not. I don't put many people on ignore.

     You are a long term poster that has contributed a lot of good content and positive energy. Your training reports are a good example of that.

    It would be great, in these somewhat dispiriting times for some more of that positive energy.

    The players weren't switched on at all. It's as if they were somewhere else.

    Has been let to get away with it for far too long.

    Moderators need to have a serious private discussion with him on whether he just needs to think about just slowly stepping away from the forum for good. 

    It's becoming very tiresome when every thread is hijacked by his constant negative criticism on posters who are trying to have a fair old footy discussion.

    Someone's starts a thread taking the [censored] out of the current situation and he comes in to give it a wack.

    I've spoken to old demonland posters on bigfooty who are no longer member purely on the fact they got sick and tired of the constant negative criticism from him.

    Let's not lose any more good people thanks @Demonland

    AFL going to screw us for something that’s not our fault. Will need to play an extra match later, whether it’s 3 in a fortnight or dedicated round when the other teams get a rest.

    Honestly do we care in this year that could still crash around our ears? I am caring less every week.

    A season of practice matches,  going nowhere but development.  Lets do It.   And continue Dee-veloping our youngs.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
