Greene destroying Hibbo, getting smashed on the outside, Viney missing kicks.

We are lazy.

We lost this at selection.

Our fwd line has been struggling for weeks and we arrogantly do nothing about it.

    We have to win the ball at the contest. Our plan to win it back in 50 is killing us around the contest.

    You get the feeling this will be an absolute belting. Not great for a hangover. Might take the arvo off and check in later.

    Have we been 25 points down at any point this year?


    I won’t discuss implications for the season. Just this game. But we need to pull our finger out at clearances. They are getting a flood of forward 50’s.

    No one flies for a mark and Davis takes it surrounded by 4 dees players. 
     

    We are super lazy today and this game is about to getaway from us in a biiiiiiiiig way.

    Nah, the fact we are in this position shows we are pretenders.


    Predictable rubbish down the flanks every flaming time kick it

    Going to get a good old belting today. Just not top 2 or top 4 material for that matter. Yes defence is great but we are really poor in attacking. 
     

    remember the Giants have many starting 22 injuries while we are just about full squad.

    Why the [censored] did marghetts stop the GWS player. It’s not for him to instruct players to avoid a further penalty. 


    We're being shown up by the Giants, a team beaten by the Hawks. For any one who has chosen to deny we've been on the slide for a while, here's some proof. We've found some ways to win some games, which is ok, but largely we've struggled, particularly against poor opponents, and this is yet another example. 

    Even if we find a way to win this, these half game brain fades just give teams unnecessary look ins for games. 

    This is embarrassing.

    Good call. Game over now.

    Last week bombers weren't  good enough. Gws are class and we're a 5 to 8th team.  Selection forward strategy non existent.

    • 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.
