I went the other way and said we would not win it.

    So many defeated Demons posts on here. Sure we are not playing great but it’s May FFS. We lost to a top 4 team away by 4 points

    I back us to turn it around and to be playing a better brand by round 20. 

    And this aura around the Pies? [censored] me, stop building it up. they have this mental hold on the comp, the Blues looked beaten when then ran out. and the Crows [censored] the bed in the last quarter.

    Well, to be fair, you’re not known for your optimism.

    Suggest you look at their game plan compared to ours to make that comment.

    You know what helps. McCrae having a team that he barely has to make changes to. He has a steady reliable forward line that kicks goals. You don't see him rotating and still trying to work out his best forward line to kick goals. Take note goody

    Vossy now coaching from the bench, just to confirm that it smells the same way as it looks. 

    I think he is down there counting interchange numbers ready to blow the whistle.

    So Collingwood will finish top probably or maybe 2nd and gets home finals straight through to the big one.

    It's always a horrible weekend when Collingwood and Essendon win and we lose

    except that, due to injury, their entire side has been on rotations from week to week

    they play a great brand of footy and their mids are excellent

    Nah, they're much better drilled then what we were last year.

    Their forward line absolutely shades above ours last year as a starter.

    That almost looked like a set play from Hill and Mihocek ....running into the pocket

    Never will be, keep reading you might learn something instead of having a crack.

    Pies look good when theyre off the leash....Carlton are pretty average making them look better than they are.

    Bring the pressure and they come back to earth.

    I can see no reason why we cant beat The Pies.

    When did we last beat them? We haven't beaten them in years and they've got better

    Believe we are looking to trade with them.

    Can't see us in with a shot now that freo are improving. They may yet make finals and we could end up with two picks between 10 - 18. Giants are pretty much certain to gave 2 x top 10 picks. Gold Coast might be the better bet for a trading partner.

    i did. hence i said i feel we can turn it around. Pies are not unbeatable and we have plenty of talent and hopefully we can make some changes to our game plan and get our clearance game going again. 

    if you are sure we will not win the flag, why bother watching any games?

    • 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.
