I’m confused as to whether it’s decision making or execution with some of these kicks. We’re not going anywhere this year

its both

    Looks like a bottom 8 clash right now. I'm seriously worried about this season. I thought we'd fixed a lot of what undid us in 22 and 23 from rounds 1-4 but the last 2 weeks have been a real step backward.

    My prediction is the Tigers will throw everything they can muster at us early.

    Possibly even heading into half-time in front. 

    Then this particular thread will become a place of darkness. Season over. Certain players will be told to never play for us again. 

    Then the more well-rounded team (ours) will systematically carve it’s way to a 42-point win. 

    Hooray! 
     

     

    All going to plan, folks.

    Structure excellent, intercept game on but no execution whatsoever.

    Why would Lever do that?

    He was under no pressure at all and just kicks it straight in the middle as if passing to a tigers player.

    What has happened to our skills?

    The disturbing thing is that the really poor kicking has been under practically no pressure at all. None!

    How are we going to go in the next 3 weeks once the blow torch is applied.

    It's been years since I've seen such poor skills by this team. 

    After last week against the Lions. I'm perplexed.

    Have we considered simply not kicking it to Richmond players while under no pressure?

    Might be worth looking into.

    This is awesome. Getting beaten by the behemoths that were beaten by the eagles. Currently 16th!

    How have we regressed? This is not a fatigue thing. We’ve had plennnttty of rest. Poor skills, no vision. 3 goals in a half. 

    Two bottom 8 teams going at it right now.

    Pathetic 

    Melbourne beating Melbourne tonight. Absolute horrid turnovers resulting in direct Richmond goals.

    That is the most lifeless, leaderless, selfish half of footy I can recall by us. There is a lack of run, effort, dare. Some of the worst kicking execution and decision making I can recall. Where is this alleged "brand that our supporters can be proud of". Pull your finger out Dees.

    Have any of our players kicked a footy in the past 13 days? This is just embarrassing. 

    The most frustrating half of football I've watched in 5 years. Turnover central

    And there will be no crutch of 3 game in 13 days fatigue for this one. Sorry guys 

    Folks we are a mid ladder team.

    Temper your expectations, we have disposal that is laughable along with low IQ decision making. The pressure turns up, we turn to water.

    This is a depleted Richmond side we are playing.

    yep, not looking good. we are seriously unable to score, same ole for how many seasons now?

    We've given them a huge sniff.

    No excuses re three matches in thirteen tonight.

    This is as bad as we've played since the 2019 horror show.

    • 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.
