    Was so pleased to see Trac shake off the fumbles he had at the start of the game (and to begin the season). I've been critical of him early on with his disposal and handballing to the feet of his team mates. Hopefully the perfect connection he had with the forwards several times in the second half on the weekend will boost that confidence.

    Trac not bad for someone who wasn’t that influential, hey Sam Mitchell.

    Strange he made that statement then gave him 5 votes, maybe he watched the replay.

    Lol.

    Based on coaches votes, the three best players in the Australian Football league were all top-pick selections taken under special concession rules for the Television-Zone clubs.

    Heeney; bid at pick 2, taken with pick 18 - a discrepancy so dramatic that the points system was introduced.

    Green; points-based matched bid inside the top 10, using leftover junk draft picks after the Giants had already used pick 4.

    Rowell; bonus No.1 pick given to Gold Coast because of how rubbish they chose to be. (Concessions given also included three other top-20 picks spread over the 2019-20 drafts)

    But, wait, the TV clubs have all had an extra round to earn votes in early.

    It is almost as if the main point of round zero was to push selected clubs to the top of the apparent ladder. Hrrrmm....

    I think Mitchell was referring to Oliver, not Petracca.

    Surprised Gawn received votes. I thought he was quite poor with his disposal.

    He was in the best players in both the Age and HS, as well as receiving 7 on the Footy Show.  He clearly beat the Hawthorn ruck and fed the dominant midfield most of the day.  Mitchell rates him very highly - part of his game plan against us is to avoid kicking it to Gawn - and I dare say Mitchell gave him his 2 votes.

    Definitely some poor kicks like the one to Kozz that should have hit him up easily with no one around, instead went out of bounds (Kozz slapping the ball in anger :)

    BUT apart from hitouts where it was pretty even he was influential across the ground

    10 Contested possessions

    7 inside 50's

    390 Metres gained (fourth on ground)

    6 tackles

    Some of the stats that show he did really impact the game. Some of the stuff he does for a ruckman his size is just crazy.

    Wow. Good observation. Jackson was certainly the one that got away & had we kept him we'd have not had Grundy

    True that, DeeZone. Maybe the worm is turning. Either way, I’ll keep riding it until he’s acknowledged legend status.

    Like a friend of mine in our Cricket Club last century I always said “l’d rather play with him than he play for the  opposition “

    Thats Gawny !! Also to a tee.

    Jack Viney (Melbourne)

    “Two weeks in a row he’s missed out on votes when he probably could have easily got them.

    “He was second highest rated player (against Hawthorn) behind Christian Petracca for zero coaches votes.

    “His ball use at the moment is No.12 of any midfielder in the competition. We haven’t really associated that with Jack Viney before.”

    • 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.
