Probably take a few games for most to reach full match fitness with the longer quarters and run off a few excess gym kilos of muscle (for some).

It is extremely hot. 

Yes agree guys, it'll definitely take a few games off shorten pre season.

 

Still flooding the contest and no one out. Dockers killing us in clearances because of it even though we are winning tap outs.

    Dear AA selectors,

    That guy who is owning the game in the back half with 500 metres gained? Number 1?

    His name is Steven May.

    That name again.

    Steven May.

    Cheers. Enjoy the game.

    Harmes should go to Fyfe & get Hunt forward. He is hopeless down back.

    Is he keeping Fyfe a little quiet though?  We don't need to see much from Hunt as long as he achieves that.

    Harmes looks much happier and more at home back up forward again.  I would not mess with the 'present' winning set up.  Unless Fyfe manages to get off the hook

    Petracca needs to lift for the 3rd qtr. Way too quiet in that second qtr.

    Even with a new midfield coach.

    Not sure these mids are ever going to get it, not in their DNA.

    Same old same old. Still too many players who just aren't reliable when the ball comes near them. Hunt, Harmes, Tomlinson etc. Jetta off the pace.

    Clayton Oliver - surprised to see he'd had 18 possessions. Needs to do more damage.

    And on today's performance, I'd be playing Daw (if fit?) over Jackson, who just looks a bit lost.

     

    They said Jackson went into the rooms early in second QTR I think.

    Not sure if he's got a niggle.

    Yep, we just still have passengers though.


    happy to be in front but apart from may and lever really uninspiring sloppy stuff. i didn’t think it was possible but, even from the low base we started from,  we’ve gone backwards in our clearance work. hopefully an improvement in the 2nd half.

    Why do we continue to handball to players under pressure? Drives me mad.  Have we learnt nothing?

    Agreed, although tbh I’ll take a Round 1 win any way it comes.

    Rivers disposal is deplorable today. Nothing is sticking.

    • 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.
