No doubt we're struggling, and that's down to how good the Lions are playing.  We just can't get any clean ball or any time to use it.  Full credit to them.

    Can we make anymore mistakes

    Well game is done 

    We had two good games against poor opponents. Sadly we are nowhere near good enough against quality opponents.

    Been saying this all year, but Jetta is finished.

    Gosh some of our boys go so cold with skills, intensity and focus once the wick is turned up.

    You could say the same for Jones.  Both have lost a yard or two of pace and they need to step aside now.

    Need a spark. throw Bennell on the ball 

    Don't let this play out goody.

    Harmes is too slow - has been caught 3 times holding the ball. Where is Brayshaw?

    The midfield not benefiting from Gawn must get down to coaching - Fagan is wiping the floor with Goodwin. 

    Tough on him, 2 of them he had no prior but this new interpretation screwed him.

    Brisbane are very good but we have missed enough easy shots to be in front, let alone the effect of the putrid umpiring. We need to come out fired up and make the first ten mins count. And Goodwin, fix up the clearances!

    Totally agree, smashed in the clearances. Lions have been really good tbf. 

    We're still in this!

     

    Can someone be clean

    • 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.
