    If you had told me at the start of the year that our midfield would become our worst performing area, I’d call you crazy. I’ve got more faith in our forwards than I do in our mids.

    Also, I fear for the crowd size next week. Port could out number us.

    Any injuries, put those players on ice and get the kids in. Load up for 2025.

    All the ugliness of this season reprised in this game.

    i doubt we will win another game this year. such a pitiful performance, we allow the opposition to run around all by themselves and at times we dont even chase them.

    35 shots to 14. Season on the Line

    Big changes inside the Club are needed 

    Top to Bottom, we need change

    Yep, get the off-season surgeries out of the way early.

    The easiest thing to turn around in footy is a midfield but we also need another KPD, Stevie May as great as he’s been is close to done

    50 point loss against a team coming off a 5 day break is damning. just not up for the fight tonight at all.

    Very disappointed. I expected better

    Thank God they only had a5 day break

     

    Pretty sure we were assured they would crumble in the 2nd half

     

    I actually thought the players had a go and never gave in. 

     

    This is all on the coaching staff that are clueless.

    Well, that was pretty sad and boring to watch.

    Actually thought we were becoming a dependably competitive team there for a while, but that's a distant memory now.

    1 x compromised premiership and zero finals wins in the next 3 seasons is a travesty for this group.  Very disappointing.

    Not our best capitulation, but another fine effort within the Badloss School of Under-developed Footballing.

    Absolutely smashed. Should have been 100 points.

    It’s kind of fitting and sad that the doggies did this to us tonight. We smashed them to win a GF to herald what we thought was a dynasty and they have smashed us not even 3 years later to close our door. Is it closed for this year? Or for good with this list? I don’t know. But all I know is they must have felt good ending our season.

    We were terrible.

    Cant believe I’m saying this, but can we do a turnaround like the dogs? They were lost last year, slid out of the 8 as we have and started poorly this year. It can be done, but it takes honesty and hard work. 

    I may hold my 20+ year membership next year, unless I see we’re actually going to perform a review on what has happened. I know we lost Gus and Trac but that does not mean effectively 100 point loss. We didn’t lose to an invincible either. 

    Lots of questions to be asked at year end.

    sad tonight, friends. That was woeful. 

    We will always have 2021 I guess ❤️💙

    Yep. 

    Defensively a very weak performance again - this is becoming a trend. Weak in the contest, weak in transition, weak 1v1 down back. 

    We're a shell of what we once were. And I don't think it's coming back.

    No cohesion, midfield non-existent, backline a mess.

    Bowey finally looking like his old self, one of the few shining lights.

    The dynasty should have come in the years we went out in straight sets, and we mostly have ourselves to thank for that. How bloody pathetic.

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

    • 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?
