It's what happens on the day that counts. You can talk up a team as much as you like.

We can't win a flag with our fwd line. Tmac is cooked. Bbb is injured a lot and Jvr is just starting. We are missing a big proven quality Chf. 

 

Too many of our boys  at the ball drop ... clear out of the leading lanes and let the forwards jump at it.


I have no idea what is going on with our structure right now.

JVR popping up at full back?

Is Grundy injured?

 

How many times have we kicked it to a pack of 1 of us, 3 of them in our F50 and they STILL win the ball at ground?

    They are working much harder

    Players jogging off as we attack forward. Ridiculous 

    Disgraceful performance. Grundy is being smashed, the defence is being torn apart. May, Petty and Thommo are all having shockers

    Oliver is unsighted, Sparrow - is he even playing? - 

    TMac was straight up kneed in the back by Draper in a ruck contest - play on. He should be rubbed out.

    This is truly a pathetic display

     


    5 uncontested marks to go from end to end, this is 2019 esque. 


    Game over

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    There is something in this.

    But we've also been outworked right from the get go

     

    Switching off. Horrid. 10 goal loss written all over it.

    • 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.
