Surely Trac will have a better second half 

I know he's being tagged but Tracca always has better second halves than firsts for some reason.

      I wouldn’t describe our forward line or even attacking game as explosive. 

    Tedious, spluttering and inaccurate perhaps?

     

    Chins ok. Had a tough game, Taj going ok, both may have a better half.

    Billings out Bill Laurie in.

    1st half

    The good ✅running. Defence.  Structure.  

    👏Petty.  McVee. May. Lever. Sparrow. Lingers  

     

    The bad😡goalkicking is TERRIBLE. JVR. PICKETT. BILLINGS. JVR. GAWN. All are TERRIBLE. 


    🤨Billings 🤨Chandler 🤨

     🤢Trac. Fumbles and handballs.  One kick in a half.  More intensity. Less meatballs!!! 

    we’re lucky they also have butchered their opps. but reckon we should be 3 goals up. 

    Petty may have had a couple of clangers but he's well and truly back with those marks. Hard to stop with that timing.

    What’s happened to our midfield?

    I’ve been wondering for the last month. Something doesn’t smell right. 
     

    Trac getting tagged every week, Viney out of form. Oliver back to the pack and we are not really better than the average midfield.

    Trac needs to kick those 

    If he could he would be weapon up fwd.

     Ugly footy.
    The Melbourne way.



    We don’t have enough dangerous players when the ball hits the ground i50. It’s Pickett or no-one at the moment.

    This is a million times better moving forward. Be patient and present with good kickers entering f50.

    • 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.
