Gawn - far from effective

Grundy - had little impact

Salem - class was evident 

McVee - was rarely sighted

May - perfect defender’s game

Lever - safe and steady 

Petty - not always convincing 

Rivers - fumbled but effective 

Brown - had a presence 

Brayshaw- better second half

Pickett - was invisible again

Melksham - experience was important 

Petracca - was the difference 

Sparrow - tough and brave

Viney - great first half

Jordon - an important ingredient 

Woewodin - some good signs

Bowey - always under control 

Neal-Bullen - quiet after first

Spargo - didn’t justify selection 

Hunter - consistent and important 

Langdon - great first half

    MFC - Gawn or Grundy? 

    I don't see any way we can keep both in the same side. We've really shot ourselves in the foot with the recruitment of Grundy.

    Kozzie - lazy and selfish 

    Did he get it enough to be selfish ?

    Grawndy did okay-ish (Grundy alarming ineffective with the ball, though)

    ...but... when Marshall has them covered in total for marks, tackles, and inside-50s and is barely shaded for clearances in a two rucks vs one game, there's a serious issue.

    Pickett was invisible like the hole left by a cartoon character running through a wall - yeah, you can't actually 'see' it, but you notice it very clearly.

    In agreement on the above 7

    And if all 7 played to their best, we win by 10+ goals

    To win the flag we can't have too many players not at their best ... and we weren't playing against the best tonight either

    St Kilda had 5 of their best 15 not playing

    We did play quite well but too many passengers for a team that's ultimate goal is the premiership

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
