    Understatement of the year 😅


    Gawns post match comments 1000% confirms Oliver won’t be dropped. 
    Selfless game apparently lol. 

    In form team of the comp versus out form team of the comp. 

    Cross everything you got.

    Fascinated to see the impact of having lever back.. not a coincidence that our form dropped away when he left the team. Critical for structure and leadership

    Underrated observation. 
    Lever makes us much better. His leadership has been sorely missed. He’s a totally different leader to Gawn and Viney.

    I purchased the tickets and the flights after the Geelong win. Things were looking fine back then. Think I’ll put the 8yo on the iPad w/ headphones at 1/4 time 🤷‍♂️😀👌

    Max must have missed Oliver trying to give away a 50 with 5 minutes to go.

    In all seriousness, they're just trying to keep him well and nurse him through. Unclear whether that is okay or not.

    Make a holiday of it and head down to the beach and safe yourself the mental anguish. 

    Even if we play our best performance of the year, we are miles off the current Lions form.

    Look at our list v theirs. We simply have way too many inexperienced players and a forwardline that is simply no match for their backline.

    So you would prefer that our captain, whilst still on the field, criticises his teammate, who we all know is trying hard to clean his life up and come back from a poor pre-season, because he couldn’t shake a tag?

    Yet every chance you get you complain about our club’s culture being broken?

    [censored] me.

    Lever would be a welcome inclusion. 
    What is going on with #31?   Preseason some were talking him up as a Coleman prospect.
    A good performance tomorrow by any Casey medium / tall forward would be welcome.

    The logic may be there but the same post would have been made about Hawthorn a month ago, the week prior to them beating Brisbane.

     

    Going along with kids and Grand Kids but fearing the worst. We just are not playing well and our kids, whilst going Ok are just not improving enough. Plus, our middle players are also not doing enough and the less I say about Mr Fritta the best.

    Could be an ugly showing at the Gabba.

    As I mentioned in the non MFC thread today, how is it that Brisbane keep drafting and successfully blooding goal kicking forwards, and now have 2 more in Lohmann and Morris that are now established in their best 22.

    • 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.
