Great mark Sparrow and also well done my Melksham who did a slight block on his opponent.

Overall ...

We've got at least 5-7 players who don't impact games or get enough possessions

And about 8-10 players who turn the ball over too easily (and that includes ANB & Brayshaw)

And any number who are down on their best

Pressure accounts for a number of errors but unforced errors?  And not getting enough of it? 

So that's nearly the 2/3rds of the team with some sort of deficiency

At least we don't have the yips in front of goal this week

This team can play so much better

What will it take to make that happen?


Ok folks . .. so remember that dump kick from Salo there.

Under heat thats gonna happen 8 out of 10 times.

And guess what.... you need a solid marking player, preferrably a genuine CHF right where Sparrow was there.

Fix that and you solve a gapping hole in this forward structure and give alot more confidence to those up the field coming towards 50

We have the worst game plan in the world and only the fact we have talented players is getting us through some of this. 

Absolutely putrid decisions after putrid decisions. The [censored] was Viney thinking then.

Like the Black Crowes sang - I need a remedy

what will that be

a Dewy?

or Hardwicky?


A crumbing ground ball win from Woewodin. Keep him in the side!


Great mark and composure Sparrow.

It's a mystery

Gus is playing well now though hey? ... getting that DE rating up after 2 errant handpasses in the first half

  • 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.
