    When you're coming off the ground at halftime and Gus says our game is looking good offensively and we've kicked 2 goals 9, i reckon theres an issue with accepting mediocrity. 

    Not sure we will be able to make finals from here. How mark stafford still has a job is beyond me. 

    England cricket team levels of self delusion at the moment. 
    There’s something to be said for doing everything right and not getting the result, but eventually you have to get the result. We’re going backwards fast..

    SO BLOODY WHAT!!

    Hard to fathom it was less than only two years ago.

    Who is this mob?

    Can we please not play here again at least?

    Why forfeit a home game and add travel fatigue?

    Goody is in dangerous territory of doing what Beverage has done to the dogs, keeps his job after a flag but then screws up a good list in a premiership window because he can't adapt a gamestyle or system that can actually win games of football. 

    Said in post game last week that it is all talk with goody and that no tangible change will ever happen and he's proving me right, we can all see what is happening in front of us including him and yet it actually looks like we're getting worse. He'll talk about how that was the game we expected and GWS were good and that there are learnings to take from it, same thing over and over and we'll continue to lose the exact same way and continue to be inefficient entering the forward 50 and trying to convert, All talk zero walk. 

    Looked exactly like a dees game as he will say, more inside 50s more shots at goal and still loosing.

    The sky hasn't quite fallen in but right now we are a bit of an 'almost' team. It's got a touch of last year about it re lost momentum and things just not falling into place.

    Love what ANB brings to the table but I do agree that he probably needs a wake up call and a spell. Woey or Bailey Laurie should be given a chance at some point.

    Unfair on Langdon.

    Rest spot on.

    Not so sure, Langdon is fairly ineffectual most of the time. At least compared to prior years.  Running 10kms doesn't mean much on it's own.

    Just wading blindfolded through the bile to let @Jaded No More in particular know that it’s Fritta’s foot AND ankle that are the issues. And it’s looking very bleak at this stage.

    WCW out (until our next win) 🙄

    Can someone enlighten me as to why Kozzie doesn’t get more midfield minutes? First game of the season rotate plenty through the centre. He was the main reason we rolled the dogs. Gets rubbed out, signs an extension and we play him exclusively forward and he is constantly a non factor……?

    If we are serious as a football team that wants more premierships, his position should be under scrutiny form here onto the end of the season. No top 4? Miss the 8? Maybe we should start looking for other options.

    Langdon reminds me of a certain side that said we played bruise free football, that's him.

    Smith did alright with how we bring the ball in.

    Harmes just shake head has no natural football brain.

    ANB I think his main job is to get tackled to cause a ball up, time to go.

    How we going fellas?! Which one is it?! 

    What's the excuse @A F?! Your responses are looking awfully silly!

    How many years grace will our soft club give this guy?

    At least 2 yrs of missing finals, maybe 3 before the club wakes up. By then it's rebuild time.

    Because he is not a midfielder and never will be...

    Why would you put someone so hell-bent on making the highlights package instead of playing the actual game into the midfield?

    Going the sports entertainment angle, HQ will be very pleased 4th spot is very much up for grabs.

    +70 disposals, +15 frees, +42 CPs, +19 clearances, +8 shots on goal, +27 inside 50s(!), but we lose. 

    It’s not loading, it’s not personnel (albeit we’re missing two of our 5 best players), it’s some combination of coaching and skill. 

    If we felt OK dropping Tomlinson after KB we should have dropped Smith after last week, instead of the better forward in JVR. We can’t make that mistake again. Brown’s a lumbering giant yet in the wet he had more touches than Smith and Melksham combined. 

    This is the FD’s last chance to make changes to the 23, the way we try to score, and the way we play, because we cannot keep doing this.

    You have to laugh re the Presidents comment post Grand Final that we are setting up to have a dynasty with this team.

    Yeh, right. We've been on the slide ever since.

    • 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.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
