    The only thing missing from this game is Phil Gibbs and Ted Henry on commentary.

    And it's just gone 8:30 - what's on SBS?

    The ads are nearly as bad as the commentary. 

    FMD, how many betting ads are there these days? Disgraceful

    Go back 3 years and Dusty would have torn this game to shreds. He is starting to warm up, but looks 4 or 5 games away from doing what he can do.

    Both midfields look so pedestrian and workman like, but with no excellence, or burst away player. 

    I am a huge fan of Charlie Curnow, but he is playing a very Sam Weideman ish game - getting to everything but not completing a mark, or a play. 

    Cotchin is shot. 

    Shai Bolton - yes please. 

    Yeah great call about Dusty.

    The pressure isn’t off the charts and like you said, 3 years ago he would probably have 2 goals and 3 goal assists by now and Richmond is up by 30.

    He could still explode this year but I’ve always felt Curnow is very inconsistent. 
     

    He has the potential to dominate but it feels like he goes missing for 2 games at a time then explodes and kicks 5.

    If it’s not ‘his day’, he’s a middle of the road forward. 
     

    As much as I hate to say, when Hawkins has a terrible day, he’ll still be involved in at least 2-3 goals.

    Carlton has defended well. Something very familiar about their defensive structure...

    How has no one fixed McKay's ridiculous kicking style yet?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
