    And with that, Brisbane went from $3.15 to $3.45. Go figure that out

    If we're going to win the lot then this is the team that will do it (Unless TMAC can get up to speed quickly). The Lions are our bunnies so best to leave the team unchanged and hope we find some form.

    And irrespective of whether changes warranted our not we will beat the Lions

    Man, so boring. Don't tease me with JVR like that and then give me nothing, Goody.

    It's enough to make me miss the old shuffling the deck chairs era.

    Our forward line is so uninspiring. It’s hard to see us going all the way this year with  Ben Brown being double teamed and no one else stepping up to be a consistent threat. We’ve got one tall forward in BBrown, so in theory we have a heap of smalls putting on heaps of pressure locking the ball in. Good in theory, but in reality it’s not happening and we’re getting torched on the rebound. 

    With the amount of players we have clearly injured or underdone, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re out in straight sets.

    I anybody mildly concerned about Petracca playing with a fractured in his leg. I know its if, buts and maybes, but I'm tipping Brisbane with target him and and test that leg out consistently throughout the night. Its not that hard to turn a hairline in a major break that could ruin his ability to play next year. Also why would the club advertise the fact he has a fracture, would have thought talking about the calf instead would have been more sensible.

    Goody is not going to get a job in the creative arts. He has his method and sticks to it. But on this occasion I would have tried something different. Particularly given the poor form of many. Disappointingly predictable.

    Our performance last week should beat Brisbane this week. Looking forward to seeing Tom McDonald back in against Geelong though. Melk would have to kick 5 to keep him out, and even then you'd still make the tough call for TMAC and his structural importance. And then we might just put Melk at half forward.

    I did have a dream last night that ANB was a medical sub in one of our finals. Hilarious that DL team selection infiltrated a dream.

    The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over again and expect a different result. The same with selection, pick the same team comprehensively beaten last week and go in with the same again? Goodwin I know you got us to the pinnacle but surely you can adapt to change and reading the landscape. #straightsetsout #underwhelming

    I could not have said it better. Underwhelmed and my confidence is heading south.

    The results that are pertinent are those against Brisbane, not last week's. Nonetheless...I am reminded of the name of a late 1960s supergroup: Blind Faith.

    I might be wrong and I hope I am, but I recon that given our lack of change and stubbornness to try other options/players we will get rolled this week.

    If we do, it has been a poor year in player management and lost development.

    The match committee has been right more times than it has been wrong over the last couple of seasons and I have to trust this week's selection.

    I know that this team and these players have the ability, talent and a team structure to win this game. They have performed well over the last couple of seasons and defeated Brisbane by nearly 10 goals two games ago.

    I am sure that the coaching team will have them primed for a good performance and have them ready for whatever Zorko's Zeros will throw at us. The game against Sydney illustrated exactly what can happen if we lose our discipline. I doubt that will be allowed to happen this week. 

    I want to us out-pressure them and out-work them across the ground.

    Confident of a win - Dees by 7 goals

    I’m not sure why anyone is surprised or angry. Goodwin is a believer in sticking to a system and having a stable team. It worked last year. It probably won’t this year, but on paper this is still a very good team that can do some damage. 
     

    Unfortunately I think injuries and lack of consistency will be our demise. If we go out in straight sets then this has been an unbelievably poor season considering we were 10-0.

    So I guess the definition of sanity is to do the same thing and expect the same result? 

    Good, ‘cos it’s the same team that beat Brisbane two rounds ago

    Really.   We made some silly 50 metre errors, melky will not play so poor again, and we were two players short for most of the game.  The medi-sub should have been used.  Compehensively  beaten. I think that statement is rubbish, we were not beaten by 60 points,  it’s our game to win !  Go Dees

    Ancient history when finals start. The Lions are winners so far and we are losers. We looked tired with players carrying injuries last week.

    • 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.
