What happened to our forward press? It used to be impenetrable. Now teams go coast to coast with ease. Are we unfit or not coached enough on positioning?

Onfield leadership and fitness have killed this part of our game. No Brayshaw, and Bowey and Salem constantly injured has really hurt. 
We're also playing Langdon up the ground so he can't get back in time to provide an additional number.

    Ahh this inaccuracy is doing my head in.


    Good kicking is good footy

    When, oh when (Delilah), will we ever kick straight again (insert Angels’ eponymous chant)

    They might be trying for more forward, momentum from Monners?

    Possibly.  In that case make it McVee.

    Tommo is the wrong option imo regardless

    Why is May playing behind Hipwood 80m from the ball? He has no chance to impact that contest on a normal sized player let alone someone with Hipwood's height. Dreadful defending, but of course letting them waltz out of the middle doesn't help.

    Hipwood looks like someone drew Rafael Nadal from memory.

    is the sporting globe shut?

    The sporting globe in Richmond was getting refurbished a month ago. Was closed, I even looked on their website before I went, and there was no indication. Ended up going to"the spread eagle", 372 Bridge Rd, upstairs, asked for some volume and they turned up the sound.

    Oh My God. 

    I always think to myself (what a wonderful world), does our club call our bad - and I mean really bad, totally inept - umpiring to the relevant people in the AFL. Or do we shrug our shoulders. 


    From the AFL match website

    Since Round 12, the Demons have posted a shot at goal accuracy of 42.1% – ranked last. They have conceded a shot at goal accuracy of 63.0% – ranked last. Tonight they have a shot at goal accuracy of 17%.

    • 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.
