    We're kicking to a designated spot as if we had three talls. 

    THIS!

    No point in waiting for a positive comment during the game call from these sheet callers.

    NO forward structure but ahead. 
    Ridiculous.

    U are kidding Our best player BY FAR?

    you must be joking

    Stanley Laurel Harmes and Oliver Hardy show is not amusing.

    Clear message at half time...

    Dump the Hollywood nonsense now!

    Merett 21 uncontested possessions. Shut him down.

    But regroup & have a big 2nd half where hopefully we kick straight & roll home

    We have to shut him down I agree. 

    It would help if his direct opponent around the ground (Brayshaw) completed some form of defensive gut running.  I saw Merrett compete and win a ball on the wing and run forward whilst Brayshaw hung back.  Merrett hit a team mate on the forward flank on the chest, fan past for the handball receive and nearly lace a player at full forward all whilst Gus was 70m away.

    All the great defensive work not being rewarded in our forward 50. Frustrating to watch. ?

    Game day threads are always a head scratcher.

    Oliver has continued what he started last week at half time. Take the game on, dont be afraid to take risks to generate run.

    When it doesnt work it looks terrible as he gets caught. But at least he is taking the game on the way the coach wants.

    I understand that some supporters will attack him for it when it doesnt come off and claim him saviour when it does.

    demons getting ahead of themselves picking a small forward line. Fritch has done well and so has mcDonald but they have always had another tall taking the oppositions big men as well. The next half will show what sort of team we are , are we fighters and worthy of being on top of the ladder or are we back to failing against weak opposition as we did against adelaide and collingwood.

    Heat of the moment comments ought to be taken with a grain of salt.

    Anyone else think that goal kicked by Jones was already in the front row when his boot connected? What a joke to show a blurred ball on the replay as apposed to the real time. Blatant effing cheating. 

    Clearly a goal.

    Kozzie needs recalibration at Casey 

    Do we put him into the middle to shadow Merret?

    Leave Harnes in there also.

    Tracc to HF.  Viney relieves Tracc at HF and plays a bit of time in the middle on occasions ...Kozzie goes forward again when he does

    Kozzie needs to pass the ball off more often especially when having set shots from an angle or a long way out.

    Well I must be in the minority I don’t think Ben Brown would have made the slightest bit of difference so far.

    I thought we lifted in the 2nd when Oliver started to dominate.

    • 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.
