Wondering how many possessions ANB & Tracc have had after quarter time?

 

Clearance work is disappointing to the extreme. One of the most one sided performance I’ve seen in a while against us. Very concerning when the only mid missing is Viney.

    uninspiring.

    If we lose this, it'll all be on the mids/clearances. Getting killed.


    They keep waltzing it out of the middle. Luckily we have a Lever and May shaped wall in front of our goals, otherwise Freo would be on top.

    I thought he’d have a massive one today given how “angry” he was over the off season and the fact the he’s playing on a debutant.

    It's been going downhill for 3 years, but we've lived with this falsehood that we have this amazing contested footy team.

    Anb had 8 disposal in the first quarter. 

    Since then he's had 1...

    They seem to be setting up to get behind us and push it forward.....what ever it is we have changed nothing and need to

    If I hear after the game, “we were unhappy to get beaten in the contest, we pride ourselves on that” I’m gonna vomit.

    We have no reason to be proud of it. None.

    Brayshaw hasn’t taken one centre bounce. He’s been on the wing all day 

    Still hasn't impacted. Turns it over under zero pressure. 

    We have an AA ruckmen against a rookie who can't impact. Winning taps. But zero impact. 

    We are shocking.

    Nothing to do with what's going on in the box.

    Exactly. We know how teams are going to play our midfield, they even say it in interviews, they force us under the ball and spread away, yet we never seem to try anything to combat that.

    James Jordan. BOG. 

    Im with you. He's leading the others. Woefully slow forward line.

    Is Goodwin the right guy? ?

     

    Petracca is a class above. Worrying signs.

    • 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.
