Petracca 900k a year, he's got to earn it in finals FFS

Can't kick a goal for peanuts.

We're a serious chance of a straight sets exit

 

Trac has to kick this….misses. Tough kick though

Watch Pettraca miss 


Can we just throw in a towel??

 

Stars major disappointment this game.

Petracca, Oliver and Viney have all been poor. 

We've needed them to stand up and they've failed unfortunately.

Its been a major selection blunder.

The 3rd tall defender was why our defensive system was number 1 in the competition. 

Here I was having faith back on our coaching staff again.

So disappointing 

Extremely disappointing. 

Honestly all I want to see in the last quarter is some [censored] fighting spirit, do it for GUS!!

We won't win today but at least show you care and don't want another straight sets. It's looking like one at the moment.

if we can kick straight we can do this... but we need to play with speed and kick straight, nothing to lose now.

We need 26 to win and we have scored 33 in 3 quarters…

(That’s without the pies kicking a single point in the last quarter mind you)


Watch us start with absolutely no gusto or desire to get this game back on our terms. 
 

So many people off the pace of this game.

Yep and would be 4/4 choke jobs 

no reason why we shouldn’t have been able to win this game and any of the last 3 finals 

What’s up with May? Looks very disgruntled on the Teev… Injured?

Well TMac is cooked. The forward lines are just not up to it. 
Petty and Melksham may well have put us in front

But they are done

 

i Hate the Filth even more than this morning 

I’m an optimist but I give us about a 1% chance here. Awful goal kicking.

Just when I was finally believing in Goodwin. H&A with this list is a non consequential, he needs to show some tools to win us finals.

JvR, McDonald, Smith and Fristch. We've never gone this tall throughout the season.

Meanwhile we've identified we play better with 3 key defenders and to allow lever and may to get their intercept going. So we drop our third defender. 

This was lost at selection.

If we lose, it's been well and truly lost in the midfield....very sorry for the forwards actually. Backs are working overtime because of the mids too. Just odd. 

3rd 

x 49 inside 50s vs 33!!! 5 goals behind  

x so many chances so many chances 

x Trac is a good player - not great not elite 

x stupid play … may

x stupid taking advantage 

x kozzzy and Trac - kick a goal from 25 metrs out

  • 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.
