Boy oh boy do they want the hard ball more than us. They’re shepherding, getting in front, making smart blocks….all the things you do in a wet game to create the advantage.

    5 scoring shots each but don't convert & they do.

    2 goals out of their backsides         typical  we cannot hit a barn door scoring

    it’s wet AF - one up, one down waiting for the spoil, and if we are playing the ‘hammer it forwards from the ballup’ game can you please put a red and blue jumper 15-25m in front of the contest?

    The chances were there early, didn't get them. That's enough to cost you in a dry game. Even worse in the wet.

    Dogs half backs controlling the game. Pushing up and thrusting it back inside their 50. Spargo and Pickett need to lock them down if we’re any chance tonight.

    Half forward line getting thrashed need to lift

    But our mids have to run with the ball deeper and deliver to give our forwards a chance. Just bombing and hoping from forward of wing at the moment. 


    My God the umpires love the Dogs. 
    Lever virtually  tackled round the head going for a mark - play on!

    Dogs get touched free kick.

    Dog just drop ball nothing!

    Frees 8-2 joke on a wet night 

    Max Gawn has NO  IDEA AND CAN GOODY PLEASE PUT A DEFENSIVE PLAYER ON THE FUGGIN DWARF DANIELS

    Worth putting Kozzie to play a run with on Daniels?  He's running hot and setting up so many plays as per usual.  Ideal conditions for him but Kozzie might be able to kurb the damage

    Brown's set shots have been a worry lately. When he was at North he would've nailed that set shot 100/100.

    Has he shortened his run-up or something?  He looks so much more unsteady prior to kicking.

    The more a player spins or wiggles the ball around while walking in for a set shot, the more likely they'll miss. I knew BBB would miss just from that!!

    yeah and umpires on side of course

    Kick it to or in the vicinity of Kozzie. Only one who looks dangerous atm.


    Not surprised. Think we have more capacity to lift than them. They got lucky with some of their goals.
    Get the handball receives cleaner and then we will make space for transition. 
    Gawn also needs to play the percentages, to many hit outs or punches went straight to them. 
    Looking forward to a big second quarter. 

    What is wrong with Viney? Just loses himself in every contest.

    • 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.
