Reminder to everyone that it's a scratch match.

We lost comprehensively to the Bulldogs in the 2021 preseason game.

Geelong lost to Gold Coast in 2022.

Collingwood barely scraped past Hawthorn in 2023.

    Yes true, but what a great time to trial plans to stop a run-on or get some composure. That is the concern - we just look lost.

    Lucky we’re not playing Carlton…

    Oops that’s next week…

    Still got Oliver, Jefferson, Adams, Hore, Tholstrup, Verall and Seston to come later in the day.

    Learning the cost of turnovers when we try and play more quickly and take the game on

    leaves the defense open (which it hasn’t been for 3 years)

    good to learn the risk/return and who we don’t want to have the exit disposal now.

    can we relax??

    Yep the posters that are going on about there's no pressure on the turnover, do they really think that's the way we're going to play in the season with no pressure

    nah

    train the way you want to play

    also are now in front on the only scoreboard that matters:

    1 injury to the tigs, 0 to the dees

    Wowsers… it’s a scratch match. Richmond giving away their game plan, we are not. Relax.

    methinks you've completely misinterpreted what ai was saying - practice hard, play hard

    Wait until next week, do you really want players to put there body's on the line for a scratch match, and get injured 

    Anotehr poor turnover, another tigers goal.

    A bit of a pattern. I suppose you could blame it on our attempt to play fast football. Fastball is not our traditional strength

    I am pleased the Kayo feed here is not working !!

    • 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.
