    Well, some of these comments make it clear who opted for the comfort of the lounge chair last night!

    Jordon - 4 qtr contributor

    Pickett - excellent solo efforts

    Oliver - finds a way

    Just had a laugh with my son (who also attended) about having a crisis meeting when we are top of the ladder! My spin is that we just got beaten by two late (dubious free kicks included!) goals by a potential top four team when we have injuries and out of form troops. We can afford to do some creative thinking. This is what we came up with in our morning after analysis.

    Jackson plays key forward (BBB to find form with Casey - a bit like last year! M Brown or Weid to the bench)

    Majak plays from the bench to give Max a rest when needed ( this could be as low as 45% ground time. Majak won't be embarrassed in the ruck contests!)

    Rivers in for Hunt (been steady/consistent but dropped off in the two losses when we were scrambling for backline cover)

    May comes in for Tomlinson (or Petty if he is injured). Salem, Harmes & Tomlinson will be better for the run. Hibberd not far away)

    We have become too predictable! Time to show we have a few new tricks up our sleeve.

    On yesterday's form, too soon for JVR (yes we also watched the entire Casey game). Turner close to a call-up.

    Could we try Tomlinson forward?

    Can’t be worse than current occupants lately.

    Not saying he wasn't good, but there's no va va voom, x factor, call it what you want. I call it vanilla. I'm concerned about our up and coming midfielders.

    You have to remember that Sparrow & Jordon are following instructions and playing a role within the team, there role is to help our va va boom, x - factor stars shine. Their time will come just as it has for Harmes.!!!

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
