GREAT START!

We were missing 4 of our top 10 but the rest of the boys stood up. Kozzie, Lever, Trac awesome. Judd awesome start. Great to see BBB get 4. Grundy worked a treat first up. 

BUT, what I loved was how we were still running and hungry at the end. We could easily have rested in the last 5-10 minutes. We did that a lot last year. Not tonight. We put ‘em away. 

Once the machine is firing. We get a few back, Grundy is full power, we are gonna be scary. 

Great job, boys!

    Trac changed the game in the second quarter I thought.
    My favourite play was in the second when Grundy roved off the pack, did an underground handball to Langdon and Lingers centred it to Spargo. 

    Spargs and Kozzie electric.

    Great performance. Grundy will get better with more games as he learns the tap locations. 

    Just sour to lose Kozzy for a couple of weeks.

    As I said in the game day.

    We own a good amount of land in the doggies head!

    McVee is good, very good. I feel more comfortable with the ball in his hands than hard the side.

    Some great signs. 
     

    Defence was rock-solid. Tomlinson was fantastic. Had my worries about May being out but that proved to be unfounded. Tommo deserves high praise. 
     

    Maxy, best ruckman of my lifetime hands down. I’ve never seen another ruckman cause as much damage, as consistently, as he does. So adding Grundy on top of that is absurd. 
     

    Couldn’t ask anymore than a 50 point win!!!

    McVee looks a beauty. Moves like Ricky Petterd but looks a great kick!

    I thought I was the only one who thinks he's the 2nd coming of the Pet.

    Luke Jackson was great in support of Gawn again but I don’t like his new look with the man bun.

    I wont underestimate the Dees again this season. If you can win with four guns out against supposedly good opposition then you have significant depth. 

    Great to hear Tomlinson played well.

    Probably will play next Friday.May can rest up. Well done McVee. Anything about Laurie?

    Kozzy is a genuine superstar now. Please offer whatever he wants Tim Lamb.

    Trac, Oliver and Gawn just changed the game when they decided to put their foot down.

    McVee is genuinely cool and calm under the heat. With more experiences and game he'll get better and apply himself with much more confidence. Jason Taylor has unpacked another gem.

    Good to see Benny Brown up and about. 4 snags is a good start

    Lever was BOG down back alongside Tomlinson and Bowey.

    Just an overall great team performance. 

    Unfortunately Oskar Baker and Mitch Hannan are VFL standard footballers. Still amazed Baker got given another chance at AFL level.

    • 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.
