No one outside our club will ever talk about bowey, or realise just how much we appreciate him. But he is very reliable.

    Credit where credit is due, the suns are giving it everything and pushing us. The key for them will be maintaining this intensity whilst cleaning up their disposals and decision making.

    Trac, Oliver and Jackson look too much for them to handle though. 

    Yeah I mean the Suns are going at 100% we are at 50%. If we can even it up and get more players involved that will be good.

    Rivers knee still not 100%, Gussy hurt his shoulder in that spinorama collision and Smith has hurt fingers on his “good” hand… looks like the injury luck has deserted us.

    The make shift defence is holding up well, midfield was slow to start and the fwds not quite able to hold the ball in as needed to keep the pressure on, great goal kicking though.

    Can’t wait to see how we “muscle up” this last half.

    Hunt having a mare. Needs to regroup and refocus

    Feels that way…is he playing a specific role on someone??

    Difficult to watch.

    A few having a real crack, but almost the entire 22 very fumbly. And those kick around the corner to 3 Suns players is just so frustrating; we haven't seen that ina fair while and it is horrible to see again.

    Jackson, Trac, Bowey, Tomlinson, Brayshaw.

    Rivers should not be playing. His kicking which is usually so penetrating has been horrendous. Langdon running but not getting. Fritsch not going for balls with his name on it. And Suns players waltzing free through the middle time and time again.

    If they had King, we would be well behind.

    I'm incredibly relaxed. IMHO It's all just good prac for our defence.

    Meanwhile Bowey on target for a Rising Star nom.

    Hoping Brown gets a few more.

    Multi of mel/oliver/brown/bowey is on the table!

    If we have Lever and Salem we would be 6 goals up. Both can play that game. 
    We are running on fumes down back. It’s a makeshift defense with now 2 players who are clearly struggling with injuries. I hope Gus hasn’t hurt his shoulder and is just sore and bruised.

    Very true. Still winning with quiet performances from a lot of the team.

    Hoping his development may free up Riv to have a crack in the midfield over the next few years

    Tracc and Jacko changed the game and Bowey is so smart with ball in hand.!!

    Langdon not himself.

     Viney and Fritta doing little.

    Spargo and Kozzie and Hunt likewise.

    Get them going and all will be fine.

    Need more space up forward.

    Derm has an amazing ability to read the players minds and tell us exactly what they’re thinking. 

    Hey, he was a player from 25 years ago, how could he not know the minds of modern day players.

    Yeah, fair enough. Our backline is showing its limitations due to personnel and May is being well beaten most of the time. Although Tomlinson is doing ok, he is being found out in the air.

    He's had 18 disposals in the first half and running at 89% disposal efficiency and 307m gained for a half. 

    He won't get a rising star this week because he's not a sexy Josh Rochelle or Nick Daicos type.

    • 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.
