Yep we’re going around in circles for decades... need to look at his people around him Swan inc assistants,  Our assistants are questionable & Richardson not sure what his role is & why we got him??? Wasn’t Roos his mentor for 2 seasons ???

He has had Roos McCartney and Richardson

He still needs his training wheels  Please get rid of this guy for the sake of the club and the team

    Brisbane may have had a dream run this season but they were top two last season and bombed out. They missed their opportunities. This season they are still making linear improvement. Something we failed to do after 2018. No reason to believe they don’t belong where they are. It’s all a matter of taking opportunities as they arise and they have taken the first positive step last night. Something MFC is still clueless about.

    Hipwood showed Weideman how to impact a game without hitting the scoreboard last night.

    Saints v Dogs

    The two teams most would pick as the weakest in the 8. (Perhaps Pies would give them a run).

    What luck to play each other.

    Dogs for mine by around 12 points with lots of behinds kicked by both teams

    Yes both early drafts  (Weid pick 9 and Hippy Pick 14 )both 23 years old

    The Weid needs to come on his development  has been anything but linear 

    Needs a proper coach in my opinion 

    There is plenty of ability to work on but suffers from being at Melbourne perhaps

    I'd be very happy with a Port v Brisse GF.  As for other comments on Brisse getting a great run at it this year, take every advantage you can.  None of it was their doing, blame covid.  They still had to win games which they have done for 2 years now.  They have a clear system they play to, we don't, we did for 1 season and then they changes the rules and it broke.

    Brisbane winning the flag is the only way to make this season not a complete disaster. 
    So happy to see Geelong and Richmond lose first week of the finals. I am so done with these teams. Same goes for West Coast.

    Interesting ....

     

    It was a genuinely good game! One of the few I’ve seen this year that hasn’t totally made me wonder why I still bother with AFL.

    You can see the clear drop off in skills and quality with this game. I’ve half switched off.

    Losing to the Dogs this year was a terrible blight on the MFC

    They are battlers (who have a go)

    There's only one player on the ground with the surname Howard. So why do the commentators refer to him as Dougal Howard every time they call him?

    Same with (Easton) Wood, (Caleb) Daniel   ...

    Too much time on my hands?

    • 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.
