Signs are ominous 

If Tracc, Brayshaw, etc Al keep turning the ball over under little pressure we are going to be very disappointed.

This game was always going to be tough.

We aren’t playing very well and we're a kick in it.

We’d be unstoppable if we kicked to our forwards like we do to their defenders. 

Yeah it’s always baffled me how we can kick it so perfectly to an oppo player standing on his own 20m from any of our blokes!

How they both haven’t received 3-4 frees each is beyond me. Lay a finger on a cat and whistle goes immediately 

Free against Grundy in that throw in. Ump22 again

    How many clear centre bounce tap outs can we win but still not win the clearance? 

    Thats because we only have one player capable of regular extractions at the drop.... Viney.

    Need Clarry back ASAP.

    There's only so much Viney, Max & Grundy (the latter two to a lessor extent) can do with occasional cameos from Tracc, Hunter, Gus & Jordy.

    Reckon the around the ground umpiring has been reasonable so far, but they have no clue when it comes to ruck contests. Grundy getting scragged hard in every contest, gets donuts, so does similar back and the whistle goes!

    All allegiances aside, this is truly atrocious game of football. Apart from intercept marking, skills and intensity are absolute rubbish.

    HTB took on the tackler.... but nup. 

    Not one ump had the brains/guts to call it.

    What garbage

    Rivers was soft in the marking contest and the player calling for the ball has an obligation to win the footy

    Rivers should have used his body to shield the ball

    You're the same bloke who argued against forwards playing in front?  You're clueless

    Watch the replay and tell me how he out marks 198cm Mark Blicavs at full stretch on a ball that was well over his head. Best he could’ve done was halve it with more contact, net result the same.

    • 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.
