    If he hadn't played on, then scored, we would be in this.

    Not sure how Petty played if we’re trying to avoid the balls up of 2022 - subbed off hurt last week, picked again, subbed off again with what looks like the same problem.. mental stuff 

    The mishandling of Petty both positionally and through injury has summed up the year.

    I had a hunch he'd be all in tonight.
    I've backed him in to beat VC Bonts 130 as Cpt in Supercoach.

    Good call. On track for double ton.

    Four Umps out there and not one is watching for what for exactly what we added an Ump for.

    This is going to be a huge margin to recover in this final quarter. 
    But when you look at the game, we have been dominant, but sloppy. 
     

    Looking like another, wasted game on our way to trying to win multiple premierships.

    If we don't win this.

    We won't get 4th and in turn we waste a 5th year without a flag.

    But we won one in 70 so let's trust goody.

    We are looking more and more like an easy kill against good opposition.

    Goodwin refuses to change our system or doesnt know how to. Either way, he has got to go. Our list simply cannot go from being so good to so bad this quickly.

    2021 all players bought in, now they are not as committed. The coach has lost the players, or cannot get them motivated. His time has come and gone.

    2020 Goodwin promised us finals, couldn't deliver.

    2023 Again promising to take us deep into finals and avoid the mistakes of 2022, it's not looking great so far

    Im not sure we’ve been dominant. Since halfway through the first quarter the game has been played in Brisbane’s forward half.

    Our midfield has been very average. Even Viney.

    Lever hasn't touched it.

    Langdon the same.

    Our fwd line ....see midfield.

    Unless Goody mixes things up will see more pain.


    Kinda surprised how easily the Lions can break down our game plan and hurt us with their kicking game.

    Not just that but how they can dominate in the air.

    We look scarred, they totally have our number now. The one thing I'm hanging onto is there are goals in this game, hopefully they can be from us.

    They are told to be perfect with footy, sometimes you just need to kick it! Handball when there is 4 seconds left 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Is the Heartbreaker required to do a fitness test each week? I can't remember him being actually fit.

    • 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.
