You Miller bashers never give up! You've been screeming about how he only gets worthless possessions up the ground and never kicks goals. So, on a day where he presented all day and took three strong marks inside the 50 and goaled from all of them he is still a failure?

    Not in my opinion

    Miller was sensational today

    Miller- a capable display.

    I've been very critical of Miller. Today he played a capable CHF's game. Presented, kicked 3 (admittedly one of them just floated through), took one really good mark and a few gimmes, gave off adequately. IE: he played like a reasonable CHF. If he can go on from there and use this game as a benchmark, he just might turn into a handy footballer - considering he was a speculative draft pick in the 60's.

    McDonald and Jones, it's fair to say, kept us going on the ball

    Whelan was solid,

    Carroll worked hard under pressure

    Bell, again, was a solid performance

    Brown and Ward were some of our better running-creative players

    Green, Moloney, Miller, Robertson, Jamar, Rivers and Godfrey were mostly OK and sometimes good

    White & Jamar, Johnson, Wheatley and Bate all struggled

    But Johnstone and Davey are where I'm really worried.

    Gotta get that magic back, hell, they ARE our magic

    But seriously, "Bruce - no longer elite"?

    Ho hum.

    I'm real impressed by your bagging. No really. I can't wait to see you at training, telling it like it is to the coaching staff, who obviously are in real need of your advice...

    Doesn't matter, it went through ;) !!!

    Miller was sensational today

    I am with YM on this particular issue.....

    If there was a positive to be taken out of this mess it was the game we saw from Miller today.

    It was undoubtedly a vast improvement on recent times and hopefully a mark of things to come.

    Whelan - not his best

    Carroll - patchy in spots

    Bell - rounding into form

    Brown - normal browny game

    Rivers - good in return

    Ward - no impact felt

    Johnstone - brent grgic like

    Johnson - not hard enough

    Green - 150th or 15th?

    Davey - did he play??(he barely went near it)

    Moloney - good in parts

    McDonald - worked hard

    Robertson - missed some chances

    Neitz - only played 5mins

    Jones - did his job

    Miller - good, needed support

    Jamar - played well forward

    Bate - good and raw

    Wheatley - played below standard

    Bruce - missing top gear

    White - won the ruck

    Godfrey - played with purpose

    Whelan was solid

    Whelan was woeful. One of his worst performances in a long time.

    Maybe he's still suffering the affects from last week's injury. I guess we let him off the hook for once, because he's always been a sensational, hard-working player.

    But he was terrible yesterday, Williams made a meal of him, and he got frustrated and gave away silly free kicks.

    Bell should have been given the role on Williams a lot sooner. Sadly, the coaches box has the reaction time of a senior centre.

    Actually wrecker started beautifully. But yes, he's that good a player that we haven't seen him play that badly in a LONG time, if at all. The new rules aren't helipng his tough-as-old-boots game, and the umpires were on him like a rash. Not making excuses, it certainly wasn't his day, and he should learn to adapt... but he's got enough brownie points in the bank for us to chalk this up as an abberration haven't we?

    I thought :

    Miller was good. Tried hard, put himself in the game and kicked 3.

    Carroll put in another serviceable game

    Junior was good - last Q terrific but all to late

    Jones - showed in the last Q how good a player he will be.

    Bell - Not many possessions but tried hard. Is a late developer and should be ok.

    Bruce - good

    Rivers - Tried hard

    Bate - not far off being a good player. Got caught a couple of times. Needs games under his belt.

    Not much to say about the rest.

    • 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.
