    Look even more average!

    Yep, correct !!

    Team of average skilled fumbling footballers.

    Cant question effort, but need polish 

    We need to offer Burgess kids jobs and a house to move to Vic and get him back.

    If we don’t win this game it is time for some serious discussions at the club. 

    Stoker has been off injured for the last 15 minutes so they only have one on the bench

    Poor choice by Trac, either have the shot or that’s gotta go 10 meters out.

    Poor choice to kick it to Grundy?

    i know what you mean

    Do we have another gear?

    It's not a motoring show...

     


    If we lose this it will be as a result of losing the 2nd ball to the Saints .

    Very few crumbers at the drops,  shocking at loose ball gets and contested ball gets.

    Can't maintain a chain beyond about 3 or 4 possessions

    Still cant find targets inside and not enough forwards lead or time their leads at all towards the ball carrier.

    Talls / mediums continue to sit back at the top of the square or just outside the goal line.

    Where are the short shallow kicks (on occasions) to a leading forward around 40 to 50 meters out to at least maintain possession, have a shot at goal, eat up the clock and give our mids a rest and HBs more time to set up an effective wall??????????

    The Saints were dominated for most of that quarter and we could still barely convert after so many entries.

    Forward craft Pffft!   CRAPPOLA!

    Might be time for Kossie to have a spell at Casey. He's been underwhelming for weeks

    Time was about three weeks ago.

    Our coach clearly is from South Australia, constantly behind the times.

    That was due some time ago.

    I am surprised you didn't notice.

    Smith to come on - a couple goals in the last please….

    We all honestly know we are a bottom 8 team.

    We all wish we were a ruthless, team oriented smart team.

    disappointing performance, lack of running and chasing by a few players are keeping the saints in this. even though they are tired they are committed i wish i could say the same about all of our players.

    Poor choice to play Grundy

    I'd much rather have JVR down there.  Or Smith!

    Grundy is not the answer.

    Tap bros experiment should have been killed off three or four weeks ago.

    Grundy sub (at best)

    This is the dirtiest Umpire effort to make one side competitive i have ever seen.

    It's just so one sided. We are not playing well, but they are just a dirty side, and a lot dirtier with Jones in it.

    • 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.
