Genuinely think we're the best side in it so far this year. Port have been hot and cold. the Dogs looked good at stages but haven't been tested and their backline is a real weakness against better sides. and we've beaten Geelong and RIchmond.

    the ch 7 commentary from the bunker in docklands sounds weirdly subdued today

    the way the swans play is really interesting; chip chip chip

    if it works it's great but if you can pressure their forward entries they struggle a bit

    Surprised with how poor Port are looking

    We've been by far the most consistent and solid team thus far. I don;t think we've had a bad quarter yet.

    A strange year, with erratic performances (up and down) happening week to week.  Sides down 5% get cut up, and few teams have a system that works.  Teams have looked champagne or boiled lollies with little apparent change.  Stands us in good stead with a solid system.  We have seen off several solid efforts (including the two grand finalists) and it seems more than the sugar rush offered up randomly by others.  Defence wins flags.  Not impressed by many others 7 weeks in.  Dees are looking well set up in comparison.

    Because GWS need more top 5 picks. Bloody hell!

    It’s ok. They keep their feet warm before they move to better clubs.

    Dogs were weak as [censored] last night and Port are getting slaughtered as we speak.

    Of course we are the best side in the comp.

    They’re very good at it. They’ve been doing it for years.

    Between the botched salary cap, disastrous trade period,  Eddie standing down, Grundy contract,   their 1-6 start where Buckley has lost the players and the players dont even care about the jumper, losing to Gold Coast at the G'...

    The Pies are officially a basket-case.

    If only Port had run out in the " prison bar " guernsey,  would have topped off a great week for the pies....

    Some “surprise results” this round.

    Hope our guys see this as a gentle warning and just go out and smash Norf.

    Very concerned that everything is going our way. Usually does not bode well!

    Hoping the 2021 demons are the real deal

    Port don’t like playing Brisvegas 

    they often get smashed. 

     

    weird....

    Look like a class of recalcitrant schoolboys sitting down to a reality check homily from the coach post game.

    But how good is it to see them on the wrong side of an umpiring decision.

    Clearly holding the ball at the end. Seems karma has ran over the Cats!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
