    Tholstrup - his best game

    Very tough on Billings - 21 disposals going at 90% is a very good game.

    Good to see him back.

    Tough readjustment last week but turned up today.

    Well done.

    Tholstrup - not there yet (his decision making and reaction time isn't fast enough yet)

    Disco - no obvious weakness

    Kozzie - shouldn't have played

    Billings - experienced shouldn't fumble

    Viney - legend of club

    kozy puts in some average ones   hopefully a big one next week  How good to beat the filth

    By now Goodwin should now that if Kozzy is quiet in the first half he must start in the midfield ASAP, touching the leather invigorates Kozzy.

    Tholstrup - robbed of goal.

    Can we get rid of that pathetic arc?

    Once again it robs us of a certain goal.

    I would say Tholstrup - learning pretty fast

    For once it didn't cost us a game though.      I am sure there are stats somewhere that show how many calls have gone for and against certain teams.   Cost us the final v Carlton and other games I cannot specify.

    Equivalent to telling the time with a two bob watch.

    That bloody arc has cost us games. I hate it. Don’t care if an umpire makes a bad decision, part of the game.

    On this occasion though I think it was the goal umpire that stole it from him.

    Exactly what he was scouted for.

    Goal umpire called it a point, so without the arc it would still have been a point.

    Kolt worked his way into.

    If Kolt can fix up his kicking, he’ll become our best young player very quickly. Runs to the right spots, has pace and loves the contest.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
