Daw did not look fit or like he was saving something for after the game. Bedford is knocking on the door for 1st selection. Weids is a sure thing against Richmond. Brown needs another week. Jetta needs to wait and see how our backline in the ones goes to regain selection.

    Thanks for all the reports. Great to have so many players pushing for senior selection but I hope we are cautious bringing them through. There has always been a big difference VFL to AFL but given the non-season last year for VFL, that gulf is bigger than ever.

    Was impressed with what I saw by Deakin Smith too, very lively down back.

    I thought Daw's ruck work was solid all game.

    He was very ordinary all day I thought. On form weid a must with bedford next in line. Brown/chandler also staked their claim but not sure how we could fit them in at the moment.

    He did not dominate in any way,

    and if he gets a game in the ones it would surprise me. 
     

    does Casey nominate the days best 

    I thought bowey, rosman, Bedford, Weid and brown and number 68. Gray ? 
    Bradke and VdB and chandler and I apologise for others all better

    Lockhart and Deakyn Smith were fantastic. Bowey found a good amount of the ball but was a tad sloppy. He will be a player though.

    We have some nice replacements options coming through for the aging Hibbo and Jetta.

    Thanks for the reports guys.

     

    For those that watched it what positions did Weid and BBB play.  Did Weid play full forward (out of the goal square) or did they change it up.

    TMac seems to be playing further up the ground so it probably makes sense if Weid play close to goal if he comes in.

    Mainly BB playing the deeper role.

    Weid got most from heavily contested positions.

    Great games but remember the opposition played their best but many not in the same league.

    That being said you couldn't ask much more of either of them.

    Majak may become my favourite VFL player

    Best result apart from the Demons would have to be Carlton losing at home by 1 point to Southport after leading all day.

    I watch some of the game and I was more impressed with Deakyn Smith than Bowey.

    He may be the small defender like Neville Jetta was 3 years ago.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      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.
