It would be fantastic to pull away in the 3rd Quarter 

After Halftime has been a slogfest this Season 

If we can't beat this propped up, pretend team, then there is seriously as something wrong with us as a club.

We will win today.

    Overall it’s been a solid effort. Suns have been off but after a poor start we have played pretty well

    Nice to see out future fwd line starting to click. Turner and Petty looking good.

    Apparently the only bloke playing for Dees is Viney.

    Gold Coast must be winning by 50 points judging by the negative vs positive  posts. Remember the reason we are not out there is because the blokes that are, are better than us !!!!

    Damn it that's cruel  15 minute break at work. Puck up my phone and utshalf time.

    What have I missed? 

    Very little. 

    Disco’s crumbed a couple of nice goals.

    Viney had a big second quarter. 

    Max has largely beaten Witts but given up a couple of goals.

    Our skills have been poor, the Suns have been worse.

    And Sparrow got a nasty ankle injury that looked a little high ankle sprain ish.

    If nibbler doesnt pick up , he should be dropped

    imo gc17 are pathetic - that they have had access to so much talent over the course of their time and they still haven't got near finals is an indictment upon them as a franchise

    these sides very much look like teams who are sitting 11-13 on the ladder

    So happy with how Tholstrup is looking

    I want a refund

    Pickett has been the laziest player on the ground today… just jogging around, applying pretty much zero pressure… thankfully one of the only times he did apply a little pressure and got his only possession, resulted in a goal assist.

    I’m loving Turner’s game, Hore is showing a bit down back, Rivers managed to get himself somewhat back on track after a horrendous first quarter, Salem has been mostly good, but I have to wonder what has gone wrong with his kicking game. I’m not McVee is ready for a move to the midfield yet, having had only four possessions.

    Here’s hoping McVee, Fritsch and Puckett can get themselves more involved in the second half.

    So for half a game at least. Goodness is a champion coach

    Great to see us kick more and handball less, tackle more and mark more than the opposition at half time. And despite less free kicks and i50s, we are in front. Well done Dees.

    Ben Brown’s own ‘Mini Me’.

    Dees are definitely in this. Viney not looking like someone dreaming of Arden Street. Rivers had a poor first quarter but improved later in the second quarter. Carn the Dees!

    Great to see Charlie Spargo in the rooms!

    He is alive!

    Forgotten man. If he can get fit, ANB's spot is up for grabs.

    His inside 50 connection was elite in 2021.

    Kozzie has gone to the wrong ground I reckon. Unsighted today.

     

     

    Well done Kolt. Now kick another one.

    Love Max giving Kolt’s leg a rub like a proud Dad.

    • 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.
