What’s worse? The umpires, our forwardline or our inability to play without May?

Doing an Amber in the bed when we get out to a 25-30 point lead.

    Our supporters barely make any noise. Hasn't all year.


    For a team that prides itself on its contested ball we are doing a lot of ball watching. Bowey twice has watched a swans player claim a mark that was clearly touched yet no tackle laid. General lack of intensity and poor by hand.

    Great idea dropping the Weed, this is a joke.

    definitely feels like we are outnumbered here tonight

    Tackles 26 - 44

    Not enough pressure

    Missing May badly, not just in what he does, but in how the backline sets up. He's the anchor point, around which all the others play. Not helped by Salem being rusty and Thomlinson being reminded that it's a bit of a step up from the VFL.

    As for up the other end ... Van Royen can't develop quickly enough. 

    Our forward line and movement into forward 50m is really bad.

    Better off playing 16 men than the Brown Brothers thus far,


    Midfield not clean. Stepped up the pressure on Jackson and he hasn’t handled it well at all.  Salem looks out of it.

    This is really interesting now. We get to see if we are up for the fight.

    Being outworked all over the ground, not sure if the Swans can maintain that sort of effort. geez we are struggling to organise without May back there

     


    Petracca and Oliver well down. All disposals mainly junk.

    They will. They finish strong. 

    The bye really couldn't come soon enough.

    So many of the teams we've played thus far have thrown absolutely everything at us. Almost every game has been a grind. We just look so tired.

    It's really quite concerning how we look though. Don't think we win tonight. Sydney look just as Freo did.

    Seriously I love how every team is suddenly made up of aerial superstars whenever they play us. Sydney hasn't looked this good all year.

    • 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?
