    So many attempts to hit up short targets, and shallow ones, coming inside 50 into a crowded zone.

    Need to use the short ground and get it deep to the front of the goal square more often to mix things up, put pressure on the defenders and give the talls are fair chance to mark/smalls to crumb.

    The short stuff is too often, too predictable and in such a crowded forward line, spoiled too often.

    Go longer.  And this is where BB would have been slightly harder to defend had he been instructed to play deep IMHO vs the Weid whose DNA sees him more likely to play higher and on the lead.

    The pies are bringing us to their level. The challenge now is to get it back on our terms.

    Oliver needs to lift. In a quarter where we had 113 disposals for the quarter,  he only had 3.

    Jackson, ANB, Jordan and May good so far.

    Weeds hasn't got anywhere near the ball.

    Oliver quiet.

    Our first quarters have been so often underwhelming. We're ahead. Confident we'll smash them.

    well, OK.

    To Collingwoods credit they are doing exactly the right thing. Not letting us move the ball cleanly and blocking the outlet on the Langdon wing. Well done to them.

    • 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.
