 He was tagged by 29.  Who had hardly any of it himself

A player so incredible he’s been in the papers all week looking for a trade, with everyone wondering how the hell he’s going to get a game somewhere else when he can barely get one for north

    For those bagging Oliver, watch the reply. No, he is not at his best and it wasn't great by him, but he was held, scragged, pushed away from the contest by players facing away from the play, and huge Xerri was sometimes the 2nd player in on top of him.

    Don't blame the umpires, we were garbage in that last quarter. Look within

    May was a match winner. Larkey is a star and was invisible.  Most important player in the team . Rising 33 and he is irreplaceable. Champion.

    He was very good but also seems down on confidence and form. Just going through the motions.

    Take the four points, because we won’t be getting many more this season. But jeez… we suck. 

    Maybe West Coast?

    One more surprise win potentially, but no more than 8 more points.

    Ladder predictor has us at 12th.

    Meh.

    We are an absolute shadow of our former self and its a sad state of affairs watching perform the way that we did.

    I'm scared for next week.

    Tholstrup good early before fading

    Rivers needs to be into the midfield permanently

    Tholstrup playing his second game really showed a bit. Thought Rivers also lifted his work rate and played very well.

    Not the disaster so many are wanting to paint it as.

    Yep he would have been had Gus not been retired and Oliver would have played 8-10 games at Casey too.

    On the TV it looked like it, maybe the MCC had the majority of our supporters. On the AFL members side it did look like dominated by North supporters.

    At the ground we outnumbered them 3 to 1, if not more.

    I can’t handle people saying ‘on the TV’ and then having a crack at our supporters. The MCG is open to all.

    I can only imagine the Collingwood fans last week. reigning premiers and only won by 1 point

    Assume they didn’t celebrate or sing the song?

    Our fans are a bunch of sooks.

    Don't know what was worse, England's performance after Kane's goal or us after half time.

    There are many parallels to draw between England FC and the Dees. Fantastic list on paper, but no rhythm and seem to play weighed down under a cloud of expectation.

    All we had to was win by 2 goals to cement a place in the 8, but not to be.

    On the positive we almost went 3 entire quarters without kicking a behind.

    Garbage final quarter. 

    Potentially our last win for the year.

    Slow, unfit, average skills, no discernable method or team rules, no midfield depth.

    What a shambles.

    Goodwin probably happy with himself after that win.

    Sure, umps had a few howlers but not scoring at all in a final quarter is pathetic.

    I am gobsmacked by that. Scoreless in the last quarter. Holding the ball whenever we had it on the wing and letting them flood.

    We have zero confidence. Zero synergy. No structure. 

    We are poorly coached and playing like huge plodders. We are bottom 4 the way we are playing.

    We’re playing a host of under 22’s, have Oliver hugely out of form and Petracca out. I think we’ll finish bottom 6 but your post is over the top. Currently we aren’t that good but there’s talent on the field.

    We are not the team we were. Clearly. 

    A third of our team are kids. We doesn’t deserve to be favourites against any expect the bottom few. 

    Lets develop the kids, try to lay down a decent game plan and plan for the future

    28,000 people. Outnumbered by the 18th team and a minnow of the competition. 

    Our supporters drop their bundle very, very quickly.

    And yes, we played some very ordinary football, but are you a supporter or not?

    Another ugly, North supporters were incredibly loud at the ground where as we heard crickets from our fans.

    Ouch.

    Free kicks were 24 to 27. Had nothing to do with how we capitulated in that last quarter. You can blame the coach and team trying to protect the lead. Pathetic 

    I've seen plenty of games where I thought the umpires were trying to get a side over the line , but I don't think I've ever seen anything as blatant as tonight

    We kicked no score in that final term. 0. 

    Ridiculous against the bottom team.

    But rivers into the midfield was a positive

    • 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.
