Jackson and Bowey, so glad they’re ours right now. Brilliant games by both.


Pressed hard but held on as needed.  Bloody hot and humid. 
 

PS Tracc is so well spoken. A true leader on and off the field.

Good teams get wins when they play poorly. We played very poorly, but fact is we are missing most of our backline, had a short preseason and we’re in unfamiliar humid conditions.

 

Personally, I am very glad to bank to 4 points

 

Was a good game up to half time. Grind after that and GC never looked like winning. 


Gus needs to go back to the wing. 
Spargo trying to mark it on the wing is ridiculous. 
Bowey and Jackson are insane. 
This entire game is never to be spoken of again. Let’s move on.

Had some genuine concern for this game given we haven't played up there for a while and are missing some class in the backline, plus the Suns are alright. Very alright.

It was a slog, but we get the 4 points.

Let's get back and prepare for a big one v the Bombers.

Bowey is super.

Go Dees!

Jake Bowey should be ineligible for the Rising Star when he already is a star.

 

It’s beneath him and would be an insult to nominate him. 

Bowey was poise personified. Can't remember him look flustered or screw up a disposal all career.

Trac you champion. So humble and grounded after a 41 possession game, and throws in the cheeky comment about getting Dogga signed up at the end too. Finger on the pulse.

Still hasn’t played in a losing team. Long may it continue.

Max will not play like that next week.

Bowey seriously you are just so composed & never wastes the ball.

Got the win that's all we had to do. 

Get ready for next week

Clumsy, clunky game with little skill to speak of, and the Dees much-touted defence seemed to allow the Suns a lot of space emerging from stoppages.

Trac, Bowey and Jackson - wow and well done.

Some of the kicking tonight was horrendous, probably due to heat, fatigue, humidity. Even Spargo's kicking was horrible at times.

But I will take the win. The ugly ones are important ones.

Misread that as "Max will not play next week" and had a heart attack thinking I'd missed an injury report.

 

I'll take it. We may have been scrappy but the game was played in very difficult conditions and Gold Coast are generally dangerous team early in the year.

I was very impressed with some of our young players. Luke Jackson is an absolute gun. I'm amazed that Bowey has only played 9 games. He's already playing like a senior footballer.

 

Bowey 150 ranking points.

Dogaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh......

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
