Harmes on Libba?  And running him ragged the other way.  Noice so far.  But still early days fellow minions.  Heads down!

    Our pressure is causing their defence huge headaches

    Ok I’m sure this has been asked before but why aren’t we wearing our indigenous jumpers?

    Harmes, Trac and Oliver...27 touches.

    Four goals up but dogs have six frees to three. Mmmm. Here we go again.

    Can we put Tom up ffwd and Sam at chf. ?

    Outstanding quarter and I wish I was there. Also if I was there I'd be giving it to that umpire about that TMac block call, just held his ground and Crozier jumped into him, we were off.

    That and gawns 50 metre kick from the ruck clearance that bounced left instead of right/straight

    And here come the umps with three softies in a row.

    Yes! 1:45 left on the clock at the centre bounce. 1 free at the bounce, then a block. Lever took a mark not paid and then holding the ball against Jordan when he didn't have it.
    Completely outrages. If you get the chance, watch that last 2 mins and tell me they weren't trying to give the Dogs a goal to try and make a contest. 

    Hope we hit the Sullivan line next quarter. Go Dees!

    Well that was unexpected, dogs not switched on at all first quarter. Expect them to come up firing in the second after that though. 

    Our pressure game is completely opposite to last week, incredibly we should be further in front. Spargo usually doesn’t waste it but he’s probably going at 50% on chances had creating goals. 

    Keep going Dees, long way to go!

     

    That was fun.
    Lets do it again this qr..

    Dogs kicking across the ground must give our backs time to set up.

    Any chance Weid can get his hands near the the ball

    Great start Dees. I’d expect the Dogs to respond but we have to equal it and I reckon we burry the game in the next quarter if we do.

    Dogs look like us laat week. Flat and unorganised silly unforced errors.

    Looking good.

    Remember they had a 100 point winning training run last week against the Saints so it’s taken them 20 minutes to realise we aren’t witches hats.

    I really hope the Weid can take a grab and kick a goal. His confidence looks shot to me.

    Looks like he's trying too hard - needs to relax a bit

    AFL deemed it a clash. 

    It’s a [censored] disgrace. Carlton is allowed to play Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond in its regular jumper but we can’t wear red against their blue.

    Statement quarter - BOOM

    The pressure. Intensity. Tackling. 

    Fritter's intercept and goal a joy.

    Long way to go, but we are ON 

    Let's go! Do what the dogs have been doing to lesser opposition this year.

    He gets his hands on everything.
    Needs to hold a couple for a confidence boost.

    Oliver is in Brownlow form. Forget Patracca  and Bont - Cayton is the ONE.

    • 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.
