There’s the dees we know and .....

If that’s what we are going to dish up this season we are in for another quality season. 
 

See what happens when we get some of our good players back but geez I ain’t holding my breath. 

 

Nothing changed. Same old Melbourne. Still my heart beats true. Why?

Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him 

Agreed back. Though most would have given Jetta another shot.

 

Haven't been able to watch any of this one.  Are there any positives at all coming out if this?  What's the score btw?


max gets man handled, held out of the contest and jumped all over. English falls over and gets a free every time

 

Need to protect MAxX

    It’s 97-61

    No real positives. Jackson looks ok. ANB been excellent. Not sure if you think that’s a positive tho. 
     

    Jones looks good.

    Why are we not running guys like Petty and Laurie and giving game time to Tmac and Jones.

    Defensively solid. Lever and May looking in good nick.

    Fritsch kicked straight.

    None of the support act putting their hand up for round 1 selection

    This is really a pissy poor effort today.

    Really depressing stuff. 

    Sad thing is this is only pre season.

    More bad than good as a big picture, but IMO the positives would be:

    - May continuing his great form.
    - Lever looking like he's about to peak.
    - ANB some good moments as a linkup player and among the goals.
    - Chandler managed to snag one. Chance for round 1 maybe.

    We'd be 100 down if not for May and Lever

    28-13. There’s no coming back from that. 

    And all the umps will get a 'well done' from HQ.

    its not the loss, or the fact that we have a few missing.. its the way we lost. Appalling footy and does nothing, absolutely nothing to suggest we are going to do what Simon Goodwin has come out and said today.

    R1 looms large.

    • 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.
