Petty has no instinct, craft or skills as a forward. Can we please stop the experiment?

    Zero effort from the umpire to call play on. Viney couldn’t impact kick due to the umps laziness or cheating.

    Without any sort of explosiveness in the middle Viney and Oliver are useless.

     

    Put Pickett in there and bloody leave him there.

    How can we give up the first 9 scoring shots of the game, seriously? Looks to be turning a little but geez there are slow starts and there’s this. Dogs are running hot and will take great pleasure in eliminating our finals chances. Let’s not just hand it to them on a platter? 

    missed tackles really getting on my nerves

    What's happened to our tackling over the last month or two? It feels as though opposition players break out of them way too easily.

    Our team is an expert on missed tackles and poor kicking skills. Not addressed enough by the coaching staff for years now.

    Can we please sub Clayton Off.. killing us big time

    Petty doesn't work hard enough to keep the ball forward.

    Also English is destroying Gawn.


    TACKLE THEM. FFS!

    I feel like that’s been an issue most of the year. Everyone else looks to have Velcro and we’ve got oily hands. 

    Lucky the Olympics are on TV

    And can we please stop playing Max for this season?

    It's clear that with and without him we are an average team at best.

    Better to keep his body fresh for next season, he is our only ruckman.

    You may as well. No use leaving Pickett forward

    Rubbish.

     

    [censored] we seem to have given up

    Lack of tackling, no defensive effort, can’t win a clearance. Really poor way to finish a season.

    • 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.
