I understand the plan now, bomb it to the hotspot so many times that the defenders crash into each other and take out their ruckman - and hopefully crumb a couple of goals in the process. 
 

Nice to see it come together after 2 years of trying

    Any chance we could ask Harmes to tag the Bont??

    Will happily take the lead (albeit slim) considering how much space we've allowed the Bulldogs forwards so far.

    Windsor looks good. Staggering that Billings was given the sub vest last week. Hasn't looked out of place at all so far.

    Surprised the doggies didn’t follow Sydney and just flood the drop of the ball with players. Worked a treat for them last week.

     

    Great to see us out marking the opposition for once.

    Some decent umpiring and we are two goals up .

    May looking good.

    Kozzie too.

    Chandler getting better.

    Jvr and Oliver getting involved.


    Anyone else see May smash Harmes and then push his head into the ground??

    no love lost there!

    Lot of belting it blindly into the F50, luckily the Dogs defenders seem to have NFI under the high ball…could go either way though we would want to play a bit better to put a break on them 

    Ahead on all the key stats

    Forward entry is the usual failure but the Dogs backline is their weakest spot so we might be on

    1st qtr 

    👍🏻May. Viney. Rivers. Mcvee. Billings. Salem. Oliver. 👏👏👏

    X Gawn handball to English 🤨🤨🤨

    X umps 😡😡

    Nice comeback after the dogs start.

    Billings has done some nice things, vineys kicking is a lot better and van rooyen is taken some good marks. 

    Just need trac to stop fumbling

    Fix that and we win.

    Just lead and create space and stop bombing.

    They'll catch onto it soon enough. Unbelievable we're still dumping it in

    Where is Max?

    I've only got radio and stats to watch here, so maybe I am missing something?

    7 disposals, 3 marks, 4 clearances, 2 intercepts, 2 rebound 50s, 3 score involvements, 130m gained at 85% DE seems like a pretty good first quarter for a ruck.

    Cheers.

    I was worried he was injured when Jvr was rucking for so long.

    Brilliant finish from ANB, but that goal was ALL CLARRY!

    • 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.
