it is great to see us getting reward for our forward 50 attacks. Great goal kicking. Keep it going Dees.

    Well this 4th Maker's mark is going down well.  The two mountain goat starters didn't even touch the sides.  A bit like our kicks for goal... straight down the middle.

    We're ahead yeh?

    Game by far over. We need to bury this mob. 

    Haven’t seen this footy since the second half of the Grand Final.

    Zorko must have gut punched ANB to make him spew like that.

    Watch Christensen fine ANB for staging.

    Given that percentage IS important (we get to see the Dees at the MCG!) let's f*&ng [censored] them. No mercy. Go the kill.

    The key now is not winning margin but keeping Brisbanes score low. Ie if both teams kick 10 goals in the second half we lose a lot of percentage.

    Yep. We have to keep Brisvegas dry…

    26 inside 50 to each team.

    We are just brutally efficient tonight. Won’t happen every week but you take it when you can. 
     

    We need to put this game to bed this quarter. The Lions will come out firing so we just need to hold strong for 5-10 and not give them any momentum.

    Brisbane brought a knife to a gun fight, and I’m talking the blade on a a pair of fingernail clippers to a 155mm Howitzer.

    TV already making excuses for the Lions tackle on brown. disappointing to see.

    If it knocked only sense into him and no delayed concussion issues, I’m not overly fussed

    ??? 

    He has been for years!

    That was almost a faultless first half. Every kind of entry whether long kick or lowering the eyes we executed perfectly every time. Winning contested ball like absolute animals and 16 shots from 26 inside 50s is incredible. 

    Brisbane getting hot under the collar, I don't know whether it was to find a spark but it is working against them big time. Matthison is such a bin Dipper of a footballer.

    Winning almost every 50-50 right now. I'll be happy if we build the lead in the 3rd then rest guys and take the sting out in the last. 

    Come on Dees, let's Bin Diesel these bottlers!

    What a sight to see us so effective inside 50. The eyes are wide, we're looking for targets, it's manic, we're relentless, we're CONVERTING!

    This is exactly the sort of motivation we need going into the finals. Shots fired, watch out everyone else. 

    Lions = pretenders.

    Now let's bury em.

    Yeah, " momentum of the tackle yadda, yadda , yadda."
    Didn't matter when Chandler got 2.

    I thought up until Max took took those two late contested marks, that he and perhaps ANB and Spargo were the only ones just going.

    The rest have been scintillating. Jackson  May, Kozzie, BBB, Rivers, Langdon, Harmes, Tracc, Gus...

    I don't hate on players instantly like so many on here 😛


    We made need more condiments on table for second half, the boys are in feast mode ❤️💙

    Brissy will have to take it on.

    Can we defend a team coming hard at us and score on the counter-attack. 

    I notice the rubbish default kick to the FP has been turned on its head.

    The default is now lowering vision for the hit up pass...or kicking to the hot zone just outside the square.  The surprise marginal option is now kicking out to the flank or pocket then cutting straight back in on the angle.

    And look at that...we've scored our rough average score for the season in the first half!

    Good to see Harmes playing....a lot of extra muscle with him...Trac...Sparrow and Viney.

    May standing tall.

    Gus 17 touches. Oliver 14.

    I think Rivers has been good 

    My $ on kozzie for 7 Sausages.

     

    Bbb 5 marks...3 goals.

    17 at 35% and many of those awful no look flick or kick out of a pack which almost never works to our advantage…

    Absolutely love the bloke.  HATE his flick out possessions.

    • 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.
