3 times this qtr we’ve have easy rooms into the fwd 50 for zero goals.

Petty started well but looks spent coming into half time.

2 arsey swans goals from blind Melbourne handballs in the last line of defence.
But we have to start winning it in the centre or we won't win this match.

McDonald, Hibberd, May, Oliver, Langdon, Jackson all good this quarter.

The rest have a long way to go.

Fritsch is playing a shocker

    Petty would lose a contest against a traffic cone on exposed form.

    Started to dominate in that second quarter. Could very well have been another 4 goals up. Torched about 3 gimme goal opportunities.

    Will take that any day of the week getting pantsed in clearances.

    Sydney are such a bore. I would hate to support such a boring team. I hate playing them for this exact reason. They grind you down. 
    Missed too many opportunities in front of goal. Should be 4 goals up.

    If Weideman kicks a bag tomorrow he has to be an automatic replacement for Petty.

    You know they play at opposite ends of the ground right?

    It’s a tough slog. Swans are 4th for good reason. They’ve got good scalps already this year. We need to get better at clearances and kicking into f50. It’s slippery, so hopefully our fitness allows us to get that separation and take uncontested marks to maintain possession. 
    looking forward to a big 2nd half

    I thought that game was postponed - hopefully they do play and Weed plays a blinder

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
