My god our backline is struggling today 

Talk to the mids. Too easy for them.

A better quarter from us, out worked them and levelled up the uncontested ball. Playing helter skelter footy was playing into their hands, looking at more composed and making the Tigers do a bit more running without the ball. They also look like they are starting to tire as they were missing the mark with basic skills that they were hitting with ease in the first half.

Anyone's game, hope we can kick a few early, got vibes from Geelong a few weeks ago so need to start the quarter very well.

Very damm simple he has no tank put him in for a full quarter and that's him, great speed in short bursts and sometimes that's how some players are, then they become a liability sooner him stay inside the 50 metre arc more dangerous. 

Not if he doesn't get his hands on it

 

Tigers started going down the line rather than running the ball through the mid, maybe a result of tiring

Got that on our terms. Tiges will keep coming. If we are serious in 23 then we need to impose ourselves right now.

    If someone told me Petty had four... Melksham and Jvr three at three quarters...I'd have bet the farm.

    They are punching it and kicking off the ground to get it forward, where they can run onto it.

    We should be doing the same as fast entry will win it.

    10 inside 50s for 0 points. One inside 50 for a goal. It’s so frustrating

    The justification for Nibbler in the team is getting harder to swallow.

    • 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.
