May is an [censored]. All he had to do is kick it to Langdon by himself. May is [censored] this season. Should not be taking the kick ins.

Lol spare. He kicked 55 goals last year in a forwardline that functioned poorly. 

 

I’d be surprised if we won this, too many players down.

 

3 goals from free kicks to them that quarter. I’m don’t care how poor the umpiring is, just don’t give them the chance to blow their whistle (then after the game you can tell them to shove it where the sun don’t shine)

    People who think they’re above others refuse to consider the fact that they effect games. Umpires clearly effect games and momentum and the last two quarters have been shocking.

    The amount of mistakes is minimal compared to players, there are other concerns than them.

    Is now becoming a clanger king.

    OMG 😳 

    Perfect tackles by Kozzie, Fritter and others go unrewarded despite GCS player having ample opportunity 

    Amazing that an extra field umpire doesn't improve the standard at all

     

    We're in a proper battle here. Effort is there but we've no polish and our forward structure is not functioning. I wouldn't be surprised if King wins it for them.


    Gold coast have all the momentum. Besides the first 10 minutes, we have been extremely poor. The tackling pressure finally lifted in the last 5 mins of that quarter, but I can't see any way we win this game by losing 75% of the clearances.

     

    I just dont understand May's stupid determination to kick it left side every time, 15 seconds to go someone open short and he kicks to a damn contest. really dumb football, hunter trying to run around players dumb football. Outscored that quarter a win for the gold coast. We have such a talented side that just goes missing at times. for a team that has perhaps the best ruck combination where are we benefiting from this at the throw ins and centre bounces.

    Can anyone explain how we win a premiership with May, Petty and Lever as the key backs, yet now we need to solidify the backline, we don't move Petty back..

    I know scores are level but I just can’t see us winning. We’re not changing anything and all our goals have been grinds. They find smooth passage every time with quick replies. 

    Our midfield has been poor, backline a complete mess and forward entries a joke. 

    I hope I’m wrong but this looks like it’s inching towards a win for GC

     UNLESS WE PULL OUR FINGERS OUT

    Can't even win it out of the middle. Our forward line is non existent and our backline is a mess

    I really hope tge club can recruit an experienced big chf. It's not bbb or tmac. We have been caught out with those two not playing this year. Petty not the answer and Jvrs played 5. It's a worry.

    Should be dropped to VFL, send him a message.

    The defense is slop, but it’s the midfield. Midfield midfield midfield. They are to blame for this.

    Maybe hunter and langdon should change sides, have may kicking out to langdons side instead of hunters. it cannot hurt.

     


     

    No Touk Miller and we still get smashed in clearance

    • 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.
