Why not move Trac deep forward with Max, and have Dogga ruck the entire last?

Bring Luke into the game more, give Max a bit of a rest but also big target, and just change it up for Trac to get him going again

The instructions from Noble are to hurt us and make it physical. Some old school coaching when they know they can’t beat you with talent alone. 
 

Im surprised that Norf have lasted this far into the game.

    Max needs to work on his kicking for goals again

    He looks about 10% - 15% off his usual intensity / sharpness in general tonight

    People at the ground. Is it my imagination or are our forwards getting monstered off the ball? As in, illegally? Coz on TV it sure looks like it.

    Why do we keep tapping it forward at the center bounce but no player is set up there other than a Norf sweeper?   Pretty dumb stuff

    we are missing JV!!!!!!

    FMD. When Max runs to the right he kicks to the left every FFFFING time

    That works when you kick / punch  through the ball though....lost that so far tonight

    In the Neeld years we carried off a mighty victory against top of the ladder Essendon and that's exactly how we did it. Dragged them down to our level and then beat them with experience.

    I don't know how to take this game I feel that we haven't been that bad and Norf have been good but they havent given a yelp all year. Maybe where getting ahead of ourselves I know I was.

    I used to say you could never rely on max to win a game for you & you'd never want him to kick to win apremiership, then he had that great finals series,but this season he has gone offskew again

    • 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.
