looks like @binman 's prediction of JVR making a late appearance this season is gaining momentum with JVR emergency!

Probably just an emergency so he can see the family perhaps

    I often wonder if they think there is one person out there that believes these type of team placements.

    As an aside, this is Fremantle's first home game against us since 2015.

    Which is utterly ridiculous.

    I wonder whether there is any other match up in the competition where a side hasn't had a home game against another side in 7 years.

    Couple of big Vic clubs haven't played in Geelong for a long time, so you could argue they haven't played a home game

    Iirc @Lord Nev shared the info. 👍🏽 

    Harmesy copped a knock early in the second. Not himself the rest of the game, no one had any idea why including the coaches. Apparently felt terrible the next day and then failed the concussion test. He's pretty flat about it by all reports, hope he's right and firing for finals - underrated team player.

    It’s why it’s called a fixture and not a draw.

    Thanks for explaining. I hope Harmsey is back to his enthusiastic, bubbly self sooner rather than later. Love that guy!

    That explains his single digit possessions and might explain that kick into forward 50.

    Surprised Banfield was dropped by Freo. Always seems to bob up and kick important goals.

    He usually gets the sub gig.  Expect him there.

    Harmes’ concussion was broken by Demonland was it not? This place is the sauce.

    This may have been covered elsewhere, assuming this happened with a fair chunk of game time left, why did we not use the sub??

    I would love to see chandler get a game or two, we risk losing him if we cannot play him especially when he is in better form that some of the players who are playing now. i think we could have rested spargo or ANB to give him a chance.

    Tomlinson and Harmes out. Lever In. That increases our I.Q.  Tomlinsons weak efforts last week lost us that game. His cards should be marked. Harmes is just random too often.

    Sounds plausible.  Spargoat for mine.  ANB seems like a player that needs the miles under his belt each week given his usual role.

    Really looking forward to Kozzie playing at CHF though and him crashing the packs to get the ball down to Weideman and when Max is resting forward!

    We have only had 3 home games against Essendon out of the last 19

    Collingwood hasn't played at Geelong since 1999

    Essendon hasn't played at Geelong once since 1993

    With 8 defenders, maybe Gus will tag his brother in the midfield and get in his ear about coming to Melbourne....

    • 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.

      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.
