I've been impressed with Dunstan's ability to find handball targets under pressure.

    Too many selfish shots on goal

    It’s (selfishness) starting to creep back in. I think the lads were a tad happy with themselves coming into this game.

    Surely he doesn't have many goat photos left?

    I've been watching closely and his half hearted leads are doing him no favours

    Not sure you can blame Weid with the ball coming in. It's been atrocious. And he still has two and has competed strongly in the air. 

    Smith a liability defensively. No time for him whatsoever. 

    Has Weid taken a mark?

    This game should be well and truly over by now. 

    Should have been done and dusted at half time.

    Our second quarters continue to be NQR so far but i blame most of that on our play forward of center and lack of poise / forward craft coming inside 50 and inside 50 itself.

    Weid - 9 disposals, 2 goals

    Brown - 10 disposals (6 handballs), 1 goal

    He's kicked more than BBB at this point and everything into the forward line has been terrible.

    Give him a break!

    Melbourne just have so much more run than Richmond late in the game. 
    I am convinced that our game plan is to accelerate our work rate gradually throughout the game.

    • 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.
