    Can we please avoid the early injury.

    We have already had the pre game injury.

    Might give watching this one a miss to be honest…I go to every game live in Vic but for whatever reason just get too stressed out off the TV

    That might be partly due to the way they video it these days.  There are numerous close shots where you only see the ball and maybe 2 players. The ball heads out of shot and you have no idea if it is a brilliant pass to a team mate or a disaster or whatever.  This heghtens the tension and I'm sure it is deliberate by Fox/7 for that reason. Certainy is not of interest to those who want to follow the game.

    Not really... he's been pretty poor this year post injury.

    Had it not been for Salem's injury I would have dropped him for AMW.

    God I’d love an upset in this. Fox are giving us no chance.

    I’ve taken us on the line to get within 34pts plus all of May Viney and Rivers for 20 posessions. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 😂

    And WCW, as an ex Melbournite who cycled rain hail and shine from Sandy to work in Richmond every day, who has been living not far south of the Gabba in the Northern Rivers since 2011, the nights are cold. I’ve a neck warmer on, 3 layers and keep muttering about underfloor insulation for our house risen on poles. I’m in thermal fleece tops on the bike at present! Brrrrrrr

    It's a big lions love in on Fox pregame show. Jonathon Brown , al Lynch. Ashcroft is back. Talking top 4 🤮 love to knock these p ricks off

    Agreed, big part of our structure downback. Especially as we are playing 4 KPDs in the back. We will miss him.

    I think it’s genius selection plan - tall defence to more than combat their strength.

    With a flood defence cover for ground ball.

    Lots of space for Kossie to play huge.

    Can’t wait !

    The boys appear to be 'ON' tonight.

    Zero expectations so nothing to lose.

    Just loosen the schackles a little Simon and aside from basic defensive structures behind the ball, no + ones early FCS and manic pressure when we don't have the pill.... let the boys play footy mate.

    We just might get close and even pull off a miracle win subject to the above.

    My prediction Is the Lions will score 5+ goals in q1 3-4 in the first 10 mins and that’ll be the game they won’t let us get closer than that margin. Can’t see a blow out.

    Unbelievable. I had to check and make sure that we were actually playing the lions tonight.

    I’m kind of pumped.

    Like, can we actually win this thing or is it just the adrenaline you’d maybe feel in a moment when the plane hits crazy turbulence and starts to nosedive and you don’t know if you’re gonna make it, but maybe you will, and what a story if you do, Wowee, did you leave the iron on at home? Who cares?!

    Go Dees ❤️💙

    • 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.
