What would the winning points for/against have to be to reign in Norf’s ridiculous % of 563.2 , I wonder? ?

    As nice as it would have been to get a win against St Kilda as per the original fixture, a genuine test against the best team in the comp is timely.

    I suspect we're a notch or two below the best teams at this point, but nothing that can't be fixed over the remaining seven games with some players returning from injury and improvement from fringe players.

    Thing is, that percentage is largely because nobody has thought to kick a goal against them. 

    When be unleash a seven goal blitz in the third quarter this weekend, they won't look so great.

    Their defence hasn't looked that great, the opposition were just really poor in their options and delivery.  Roos do have great and fast outside run and look for this runners with a handball.

    Lively Melbourne forward Krstel Petrevski has been ruled out for the season after suffering a hamstring injury against Richmond.

    Midfielder Maddi Gay (quad) is likely to play her first game for the season against North Melbourne, with Sarah Lampard (ACL) ruled a test.

    Defenders Meg Downie (ankle) and Shae Sloane (ACL) are 2-3 weeks away.

    looks like a 5 day lockdown on the way. I wonder whether the game will go ahead.

    Good to see that our footballers, like the tennis players, perform an "essential service" so the game goes ahead.

    I’m certainly in favor of the match going ahead. It gets pretty tedious in lockdown so having a game to watch helps pass the time.

    Well aside from Downie this is close to our best side. Will be really interesting to see how close we are

    She's a champ but Paxy has cost us 2 goals this qtr. I'm sure she won't let it get to her.

    Glad we got a goal for all our hard work. Just need to cut out silly errors, uncharacteristic by Paxman. 

  • Quote

    Played ok that quarter. Have to watch North along their half forward line. Again Paxman was unreal but for her boo boo against Carney.

  • Quote

    Go you demons!!  Goldrick and Pearce holding steady sweeping on the HB line looks good for us.  As said it was two very poor errors for the goals.

    Would be a massive win if we got up

    • 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.
