Billings has no awareness. his man slipped over when he took the mark but billings wasn't paying attention. He could have played on and had plenty of space in front of him to do so.

i complain about billings every week so you could accuse me of bias. fair enough. but billings is not the answer imo

I don't rate him at all! 

 

Really difficult to watch this. Our kicking and physical intensity have been horrid. Even when we do begin winning contests etc... our kicking for goal (4 of them from within 30 metres) is like country reserves footy. 

Petty has played 1 good game in 5 and the rest he has been invisible

we needed him tonight. not talking just goals but just to compete and hold the ball in

 

Reid is making us look second rate in the midfield. I'll be surprised if we get back from here. The Eagles look better than us today.

    Billings has to go now. He’s deplorable by foot, and that was the only reason we got him.

    He infuriates me.

    BBB is a very good person and has been  a very good player - but not for the future.

     

    Salem is not a midfielder - his disposal is not as good as it was and he is too slow.

     

    Now is the time for our good players to stand up.

     Billings.  Saints are laughing at us.  He is a spud.  Goalkicking like a dyslexic person at a spelling bee !!!! 

    I think the AFL world are laughing at the Saints

     

    Lucky to be only 3 goals down. We can still win this. But certainly don't deserve to

    This is a much worse result than the 2018 prelim IMO. Simply haven’t turned up and we don’t have the cattle to win a flag, or even a final at this rate. Petty, Brown, Billings all cooked. How we can butcher the ball so badly is beyond me. Absolutely gutless and disgraceful effort given the importance of the 4 points. 

    Goody nerds to take our mids after this game and give them a decent kick in the bum.

    Oliver16 disposals 

    Tracca 16 disposals.

    Viney 14 disposals.

    Sparrow 9 disposals ( very low)

    Harley Reid a young kid panting them all.

    This is the third last team.

    Chandler too has gone into a big slump like he did last year.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Yeah, what is the story. I have no faith in Billing's by foot. I don't understand why we traded him.

    If we're fair dinkum this year we win.

    Aren’t we meant to be winning this game easily?

    Again we aren’t as good what many believe we are.

    Mid table team.

    We have the talent, we lose it above the shoulders.

    This is going to be up there with our loss to Sydney in 1993.


    meth coke will end up winning by 5-7 goals imo

    losing lever in first 5 mins was a blow, but their pace is what is destroying us

    it's a carbon copy of when meth coke knocked off flagmantle; just too quick and reid is a superdooperstar

    Simple the game has changed, we haven't since 21.

    We’ve changed, for the worse. Attempted to reverse engineer something like 2020 Richmond and haven’t added the list pieces to fill the gaps for where the game is going 

     

    Not enough run in this team.  Too stagnant in general which brings the heat

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      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.
