I’ve never had this experience before. I’m watching the footy knowing we can’t win it, but that our best would crush both these sides.

What a weird feeling.

Agree, it’s [censored]ing embarrassing we were beaten by Brisbane last week

    And the Swans the week before?

    Every losing team says that

    Why does every team seem to bring their best pressure rating of the year when playing us (Bris last week, Syd, Bulldogs, Pies).  Hard to watch when our best is so much better. 

    Because we got our fitness terribly wrong and teams knew they could outwork us as we were exhausted.

    Why do Geelong have sequinned shorts on? Are they going to do a cabaret number at half time?

    Not until they have won the flag

    Geelong are cherry ripe.

    They're just toying with the Lions. Watch for the dam wall  break.

    Funny how Geelong look fit and fresh. Wonder if that's got to do with management of players through the season..

    Hmm funny that........

    Lachie Neale- 1 possession in the second quarter so far.

    You stop him, you stop Brisbane.

     

    Amazing and yet he might win the Brownlow but.... CLARRY has never had a single digit possesion in any game ...much less a final

    Lions ball movement is treacle slow ... setting up the Cats defence to a nicety

    Amateur performance yet they beat us

    Our players will be kicking themselves watching this

    What's worse is that Geelong aren't playing that well.  They've got no opposition.  14 shots to 4

    Yes I know a few Cats fans and they’re very happy it’s Cats v Lions and not Cats v Dees. We’d given them a real match. Ffs. I’m still angry about last week. In fact angry and disappointed and hurt with our two finals losses.

    My theory is our predictable, defensive, static game plan invites it. Teams absorb the early assault from us and then as we slow down and play even more predictably and defensively they can apply maximum pressure around the ball carrier and run off us.

    That, plus a cruisy run into finals and a week off to freshen up.

    A blueprint that (sadly) seemed to work well every time.

    Watching this game just makes me realise how last week everything just went perfectly for the Lions. They had an unbelievably lucky night and barely made a mistake.

    • 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.
