    Usually refers to a troops coming out of a difficult battle and can’t associate with what they have witnessed. Sorry Stig you posted before me.

    In Clarry's defence he probably can't even remember what happened 12 months ago, May's laughing is the more concerning part...

    Best guess? 

    No idea, and won’t speculate. But we’re truly gutless and pathetic. It’s not just the losses to West Coast, Fremantle and Collingwood, it’s the way we performed (or lack thereof) and conducted ourselves in those games that make me think something isn’t right. What that is, I don’t know. Even Petracca’s pre-bounce “bro-style” handshake and pat on the back of Maynard was disgusting. It was easier to watch our losses in the Neald-era for mine; our list was full of C-graders and we landed talent. That’s not an excuse in these instances, ergo, something is wrong.

    I guess the club knew there was no winning in a snarling match against the combination of Collingwood, the AFL executive, and Channel 7 'Australia's official home for abusers, war criminals and sex pests'.

    I mean, Brian Taylor actually asked "Do you think those boos for Maynard might be related to the Bradshaw incident?"

    [censored]

    I'm slowly falling out of love with football. It struck me over the long weekend that I was only ever dipping in to check on games, catch a few headlines, see if there was anything of particular note.

    I used to settle in for multiple games a week (multitasking of course), monitor all kinds of stats, play Supercoach (spent a solid chunk of one season inside the top 1000), knew the expectations of at least 30 of that season's draft picks, and could have made a reasonable go of naming a best 22 for most clubs.

    As of now, I couldn't give you the top 10 from the last draft or for most clubs.

    I'm Melbourne, now, and that's all I am when it comes to Australian Football.

    • 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.
