We are good at nullifying the opposition. Four weeks in a row, made them look 2nd tiers.

Was Duncan, Miers or Guthrie playing. 

Great game plans Coaches.

Was excellent coaching and good execution by the players

Not sure who negated Guthrie in 1st Qrt but saw Jones playing tagging fwd role in 3rd and 4th on Tuohy and others. ANB, Spargo, Pickett, Sparrow all played great defensive roles

Viney and Tracc smashed them in the guts and Oliver did his bit while fending off a hard tag. Even Tmac had a good contested game

The pressure from everyone was the massive highlight for me! I am pumped to see us grind a good team, particularly when they had a great 10 minute stretch to narrow the gap

    Thanks Jumbo but this is sad news indeed.

    I think it was an accident but hawkins should not have been swinging his elbows around.

    On that basis anyone could do it and hide under the same pretext.

    Like a ball over the line on purpose or not...how do you judge intent?

    Gee the Cats were so so lucky it was wet. We were all over them most of the day. Dry day and we would have really carved them up.

    Great win. Our tackling was awesome. We were physical and ferocious. Good signs.

    Big shame about May. Petty gets his chance.  We will be ok.

    I've now lost 4 bets in a row. I'm hoping it continues next week. Go Dees Go. 

    Please don’t change your current betting system. It’s working for us.

    Langdon is a genuine star of our team. What he brought to our side is invaluable. Probably our most important recruit this decade. 
    Also thought Gus did exceptionally well when thrown down back when May went down. 
    We showed really maturity to turn the momentum in the last quarter and not let the horrid umpiring get to us. 
    Some of the decisions today were baffling. 
     

    My only let down today was Melksham. He did nothing offensively and defensively he is trash.

    Hawkins,    high contact, reckless elbow, severe result, should be nothing less than 3 weeks, intentional or not.

    That was just a genuine great win.  Everyone contributed, nobody shirked and we operated as a unit all game.  Yes, there were a few moments of idiocy that cost us goals, but overall we once again controlled the game and didn't panic when they got a run on. 

    Of particular note is the fact that we were never behind.  Not once in that game.  We scored first and they never caught up.  I don't remember the last time that happened.  Even with our usual trouble converting, that was pretty close to a complete game. 

    Is anyone else noticing how much the twins (Hunt and Langdon) are feeding off each other?  It seems to me that Landon's presence on the outside has inspired Hunt and he's now working much harder to match his lookalike.

    Do we have confirmation that May has a broken eye socket?  That's what it looked like on the ground with the massive swelling and I see someone has mentioned it earlier.

    Sparrow is always in the top bracket for pressure acts.

    Maybe we should leave him in the team...   even though I didnt mind Melk coming in.

    My 3 favourite moments other than the magnificent win:

    1) Free kick against Selwood for a high tackle on the ducking Spargo in the first q. Can dish it out but can't take it!

    2) Seeing Viney mark in front of goal and watching Selwood (his direct opponent and 15m away) pointing to all and sundry in a 'not my fault way'

    3) Kossie standing over Selwood as mentioned earlier..... say no more

    Yes, I have a problem with Selwood, or should I say, had

    Goodwin and his coaching staff deserve a lot of the credit.

    He has picked a team that has not changed in the first 4 rounds

    When the opposition gets on top, we now have a plan B and C to counter this.

    Our defensive set up is the best I've seen in recent memory.

    The team is playing for each other and for their coach.

    Langdin has gone to another level.

    I thought Jackson was in the ruck too long but it paid off with Max finishing with a full tank.

    Also a highlight was Kozzie giving him lip after he gave a free to KP. There was something left hanging from half time siren

    Champion footballer, butalways gives a hard-done-by display which is rich for a bloke who's professionalised the art of getting soft frees

    He lacks the humility of a Dangerfield/Ablett Jnr who show much more respect when beaten

    • 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.
