    Game day baby. Let’s go Dees. Looking forward to another win today (and also Bluey and Bingo pre game entertainment). Might need a couple of cold ones to keep me warm!

    Still drizzling constantly. Slivers of blue sky in the distance.

    Drizzle has stopped.

    Breaks in clouds now, as blue peaks through.

    We have a bad habit of only doing what we have to. Even more so when playing teams down the ladder.

    Give me a win with no injuries.
    I'm easily pleased at this time of year.

    Adelaide aren’t a bad side though so I doubt we will get it all our way

    Good interview with Yze just then on triple M.

    1) confirmed Trac will play 80/20 forward.

    2) Actually gave a bit of solid info about Clarry. They’re targeting the North game for his return. Trained well during the week.

    3) Wants to put his name in the hat for the Richmond job.

    Adelaide are a poor team who only win at home and start very slow when interstate.

    Very big game today for two reasons

    1. Ladder position

    2. Improvement in forward line (especially BBB, Chandler and Melksham. The last named is very important as we go through the next 5 odd weeks without Fritsch) I would also like to see a solid four quarters from JVR

    Adelaide will come hard at our defence through the corridor. Like many teams they play mainly a less skilled version of the Pies/Port gameplan. Our half back line is the key

     Just bumped into Max at the G. He is pumped for a big one. F69E9A17-F266-492E-9359-8FA63A940B43.thumb.jpeg.6c4b45331ef33b97fdfa40b206642a26.jpeg

    Searching for an omen, on the way to the ground I saw three ravens sitting on a fence. One looked at the others, shook its head and said, 'Nevermore.'

    Dees by 29 points.

    1) Great to hear - Trac is going beautifully in the forward line

    2) Another bit of good news, hoping it comes to fruition and he can get back up to speed in time for finals

    3) One more flag and he's a senior coach in waiting, but not until then IMO

    At the Bermagui Beach Hotel for this one.  The screens are more AFL &  racing than NRL👏🏼 Hope they don't switch em over after the GWS game...

    Looking forward to Rivers producing more and more of last week’s final quarter.

    Chaplin on Rivers, scary.

    I had a meeting with him yesterday and reviewed his tape and I was pretty honest with him, I said I think you're only at about 75-80 per cent capacity for what you're capable of.

     

    80% is still a distinction

    • 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.
