We look so far off it 

 

Big dopey forwards that love to take pack marks sure do find their way to every single team except Melbourne. And always seem to tear us up.

    Much like against Carlton I feel like we are letting a team that isn't really playing that well to take advantage of their moments. We're very lucky the Eagles aren't 7.0.

    We don't deserve top 4, the way we are playing and the luck some of the other teams have (see Port and Collingwood). We will be lucky to play finals. 

    Unless things change drastically we are not a contender this season, simple as that.

    If he wasn't ready for AFL level intensity, then don't play him.

    Cupboard was bare dude. Back your players. Rubbishing a first gamer is poor form.

    Well we had a chance to recruit McKay or Curnow, yet we decided to draft Weideman.


    Someone give a Clarry a rocket. Or a hug. Whatever works. Just get him to wake up please. We’re getting killed.

    It's nothing against him, this is on the selection. I was also not that sure we had to rush Salem so we'll see.

    Not that far behind on the scoreboard and plenty of time left in this. We'll still win from here, but there are some serious problems we need to address if we're going to compete for a flag again this year and the next few. Our midfield has been horrible this year. Horrible. Our forward line doesn't have the right personnel, but the midfield does them no favors.

    Really think it's time to go past Ben Brown.  Hope he proves me wrong for the rest of the game but I think he is cooked.

    We are allowing them the moments to shine

    Perhaps the umpires should see how he is manhandled!

    Low energy and premiership window rattling.


    Pathetic attitude not turning up ready to go from the opening bounce.

    We are on the back foot right from the start of most games. How about a little bit of proactivity?

    It’s a long game, and I’m very patient, but this quarter was simply not good enough. To be smashed in the contest against a bottom 4 team is unacceptable. 

    I understand we are trying to change the way we play, by being more attacking off half back, but we seem to have completely lost our strength in contest and clearance. 
    May without Lever is also a concern. Waterman all over him.

    To the ‘we will/must win this by 6-7 goals, minimum’ crew - is that still the projected margin?

    We’re being embarrassed here. Should be down by more. 

    Every single team thinks they can beat us, and there’s a reason for that. Here it is. We have our moments, no doubt, and our best can beat anybody, but we don’t do it often enough anymore, and there are far too many threatening teams on the up. Really sad actually.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
