    Ridiculously harsh on Salem & AVB.Ā Ā 

    Salem was a rock & AVB was a terrific game for someone who hadn't played for a very long time and had very little VFL football.Ā  He had a big hand in 3 goal scoring chains and came back from a huge bump.

    Way too complimentary on Gawn who had his worst game in hisĀ last 50 odd.

    Jackson wasn't just a game, he was once again, very poor and justĀ isn't giving enough.Ā Ā

    Need to learn to kick more goals, even if we could turn half of those points into goal would make a huge difference.

    Disagree on Gawn.Ā  He tried very hard.Ā  That chase in the third was immense.Ā  My Hawthorn supporting mates said they win by 4 goals if Gawn wasn't playing.

    The only reason they drew was that he was getting clear hit outs and everything went to Mitchell, Worpel & O'Meara.

    Also, can't stand the smiling and lack of intensity.Ā  The Captain sets the level of intensity and fanaticismĀ  Never see Joel Selwood smiling!

    I don't know who is a less convincingĀ kick for goal, Jackson or Oliver.Ā 

    Will cost us finals, our sh*tty kicking.

    Can we bring Bowey in for Brayshaw yet?Ā

    I'm usually the first one to pot the umpires but not this time. The game should've been over at half time no questions asked, but we slackened off for 10 mins and lost the game. That's on our players.

    Picture this, 3/4 time, our premiership hopes are on the line in terms of a top 4 finish. We recognise that we need to start winning more contests. So what happens at the first centre bounce in the last quarter? A straight forward centre clearance and kick to Lewis who strolls in to take the mark and goals. Enough said.Ā 

    It was a pea hearted effort by all players and coaches tonight.Ā

    Donā€™t agree with many joeboy. Trac and Clarry were among our best and what was safe and reliable about May? Poor game imo

    Very selfish game by Viney... 11 tackles! He obviously is trying too hard! 32 Disposals... He should stick with 6 or 7 toĀ warrant the criticism that the astute arm-chair critics of Demonland spit out! Only third for the team on metres gained... well that caps it off!

    You're too caught up in the stats movement. The turnovers killed us. Time and time again.Ā

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sundayā€™s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when itā€™s over.Ā  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competitionā€™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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demonsā€™ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fieryĀ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayĀ at the end of the gameĀ was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneā€™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 Kingā€™s Birthday.
