Geez, the girls not doing themselves justice today sadly. They look second best in every facet. There are shades of the West Coast prelim about this one.

    This is really poor from the Demons. Horrible skills, not changing tactics just keep kicking it back to them. Keep your head girls! Handball, short kicks

    I’ve been a staunch defender of AFLW, but this standard is pure [censored]...it’s not unreasonable to say that the u15s down at any local park in Melbourne right now demonstrate more understanding of the game than what is being displayed here. 
     

    with that rant aside, we have no forward structure and have simply fumbled everything under pressure.

    We're in Hail Mary territory now. We need a toby greene style flurry of quick goals to have any hope.

    Have you watched any of our games this year or have you waited until the prelim to stick the boot in?

    Call on Kayo is that Adelaide centric now on

    Yes, terrible caller.

    C'mon Dees, get two quick ones.

    Crows are marking everything.

    We are trying hard, just don't have a system that works.

    The Tarrant miss set us back. Need to get the ones that are easy, no goals.

    It’s the ability to execute skills under pressure which sets players apart. Hanks and Paxy have been great in that regard.  I reckon it’s Gaby Colvin’s best game.  Adelaide have been too strong. It has been a joy watching them this season, well for Meggs at least.

    I’ve watched them all and attended them all in person here in Vic. I’m not just sticking the boot into our girls, it’s about the standard of the competition. 
     

    the inability to pick up the ball below the knees and the constant fumbling under no pressure does my head in. 
     

    how would you assess the progress over the last 5 years??

    Our progress this season, other than a bad mid-season wobble, has been excellent. 

    I don't like condescending remarks comparing the women to U15's. It's out of order imv.

    And if our men can show half the heart of this team we'll be a long way towards a tilt at the flag

    • 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.
