    [censored] Gary Lyon ay? Tell him to shut the [censored] up. Decide if you are part of the club or not.

    If you want to be then don't sink the [censored] boots in at every [censored] opportunity 

    He’s a commentator mate. Needs to be at least a bit impartial. Watch him at the GF and see if he is part of the club. 

    how about a bit of respect for a club champion???

    He’s not being impartial he’s been overly negative. It’s unprofessional.

    The biggest things we need to take out of this game is that the umpires will not tolerate "who do I give the ball to" BS. 

    We were the masters of that last year, and I'm not sad to see it go.

    It’s a good rule change. It will be applied too strictly in Round 1, but the answer isn’t to whinge about it but to adapt to it.

    -62 disposals, - 3 CPs, -14 clearances, -8 tackles. 

    Pre-season or not, we won’t be winning many games of football this year with those figures.

    I reckon this game is teaching us all a few things.

    …..

    And fourth, tonight is a more real game than last week (too many read too much into a genuine scratch match) but it’s also not a real game. Remember,  we got belted by the Dogs in this game last year.

    They look quicker too. We have been chasing them so much. They look a bit rattled too. Need to slow their momentum down and get our forward pressure game up and going.

     

    Dropping marks, fumbling, I’ll discipline and not switched on. 
     

    Good thing it’s a practice game but if we come out in the 1st round like this it will be good night Charlie. 
     

    A few things to work on prior to rd1. 


    I feel like the umps are umpiring Melbourne per 2022 rules but not the Blues. Saad should have been holding the ball if Petracca was.

    I wonder how hard they were flogged during the week? 5/6 premiership backmen make us a completely different side.

     

    im looking forward to seeing us live in Round 1 😉

    I was at the grand final and the post match. He was clearly a demon man who loved the club. 

    Can't stand him commenting Melbourne games. Constantly negative. I'm enjoying the game apart from him implying that we are getting ahead of ourselves. 

    He has been like it for years. His attempts to be impartial is the problem. He needs to be taken off Demon games.

    With all the talk about our boys feeling for the members back east missing out on the premiership party, I have no concerns that the boys won’t show up for the unfurling of the flag in round 1.

    We’ll be mentally switched on in 2 weeks time. Let the baggers get excited over a win in March.

    Bowie's clinical disposal has deserted him early this year I think.

    But the Blues are taking this game so seriously, so no wonder they're winning. They're a bunch of professional footballers - they should win a match they're taking seriously against a team out there because it's in their contracts and not much more.

    great pressure last 10 mins.

    What was the free kick against Langdon for ? (Watching on mute)

    High tackle apparently.

    Petracca came in and got him high. Was there when shown on replay.

    High on Petracca who came in second.

     

    Lazy sloppy performance, players laughing during the game, only a practice match but pretty unprofessional I think.

    • 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.

      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 Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
