Bailey Laurie has not offered much today 

But somehow more than Petracca

 

Tomlinson has been good.

    A better quarter, game is not really on our terms. I liked the use of tempo footy, needed to make the Hawks do some running without the footy. Coaching staff know what they're doing.

    Has alot of mates today 

    Some real Bin Diesel performances 

    Still not clicking at all and with Hawthorn having 2 of our 3 most important players missing makes it worse. Too many players have been underwelming.

    I couldn't believe the stats 0.0, 2 disposals. I hope his tackling is off the charts otherwise....

    I am beginning to think May doesn't have a right eye. Never kicks to the right, never looks to the right. Twice he had a wide open switch to the right and went down the left to 20 players.

    It’s impossible to enjoy watching Melbourne games. Never put sides away early and result always in doubt.

    Btw my constant issue, we are going at 50% kicking efficiency to 87%. Why is that?

    Hawks never kick out from a behind to a contest. May... most times

    Kozzie:

    - underperforms for several rounds. 

    - causes debate among the supporters

    - questions asked by the pundits 

    - plays an absolute blinder

    - dissenting voices told to eat their words 

    Repeat.

    Replace Laurie with Schache. Maybe he could take a mark inside 50.

    Wouldn't hurt

    Ditto Salem. There was one play he marks in the middle of our D50 with the right side of the field wide open to run and carry, kick to space. He just stays static for 10 seconds looking at the left (from where the ball came from originally) 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Nibbler been very good.  Melk of course.

    Viney fabulous

    Smithy's done well

     

    Just like the Carlton game.......

    Poor by Bowey then.

    • 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.
