How can you tackle a player that marks the ball 

New rule apparently.

 

We're in trouble.

Coaching and selecting integrity woeful.

Petty spudding it up at CHF while we leave out an in form forward in Schache out.

Hibberd is finished as a footballer. Incredibly slow to react at ground level.

Got ourselves in a massive boghole right now. Going to have to do it the hard way.

 

Good on you Fritta


Well done Langdon and Fritta.

But what has happene to our contested ball game? Not too long ago we were the best by a long way.

Chatting with a Richmond mate on the side, and he completely agrees that the umpiring is pathetic and looking after the Tigers. 😡🤬

Richmond win this comfortably. Not even close.

 

Richmonds pressure is 10 fold on ours, nothing to do with umpiring which has been average.

Hopefully you’ve started something Fritta

Its never Frittas fault. 

I am surprised Goodwin hasn't rested him


Honestly, why do we get caught holding the ball so much? We don't have that burst of speed breaking from packs, even Trac.

Umps liking their work. Think Gil does too.

Zero pressure. 
Neeld sort of stuff. 
Goingbhome at half time. 


The fact we can’t win centre clearance with the personnel we’ve got is pathetic. 

 

We've conceded 51 points half way through the second quarter again. What's the excuse this time? 

Putrid

Talk, we aren’t doing enough of it. Playing very selfish footy.

  • 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.
