Turner has been an absolute deadeye for goal, but his biggest issue has been positioning I feel.

Seems he's getting the hang of it now!

    May is home too. I don’t know that we need to read too much into it. 
    But really good to see Clarry there! 

    Trac was busy having coffee with Lachie Neale this morning, according to the Herald Sun.

    After all the negative stuff this last month a win like this gives you hope for the future no matter what happens now

    Screw draft picks

    Culture and a winning mentality far more important

    Surely we have learnt this lesson the hard way by now

    Good. Neale wanted out of Brisbane too. Maybe they’re chatting about how to mend bridges.

    A player who wanted to move, was held to a contract and is now happy at his a club?

    Or did Trac really like Noosa

    Goodbye pick 5

    Hello pick 10?

    Goodbye "Dean Bailey era playing for draft picks" mentality.

    Hello "next Flag tilt"

    I hope not.

    I guess with Gus gone.

    Anb possibly leaving.

    Tracca injured.

    Oliver too...

    The club doesn't seem so tight knit.

    Hopefully it's still woven deep and we lose nobody.

    Wins like this certainly help.

    Gawn spoke wonderfully yet again. Great captain and leader. To me today was a performance of united group, no fractures.
     

    Can’t say how I feel about Trac though. Can’t see him with the team in the rooms. Oliver is there, Spargs is there.

    Where are you Trac?

     

    I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

    Alex was massive in the midield the further the game went on.

    Fabulous that he got his wish to sing the song 🎶

     🤞 there is a repeat next week!

    Please next year, loosen the obsession with “Contest & Defence” just a little bit!! Half a turn… and let the Boys play with some dare. 
    Scoring is just as important as defending…

    Doubtful unless he walked to Noosa

    We are going to have some genuine competition for tall forward spots next year.

    JVR and Turner have to be locks for mine.

    I'd love Petty to play back, but where does TMac play? May and Lever are locks at the back.

    I'm so excited by Turner and have been most of this year. He's quick, he attacks contests in the air, and he's a good kick.

    He still fades in and out of games, but that's natural at his age and level of experience. 

    Jack Viney, Max Gawn, Alex Neal-Bullen and Ed Langdon were incredible today. Possibly the best game Jack has played. Absolutely bossed it.

    Jack Viney was asked about his future with the Demons when interviewed on ground after game and didn’t deny about whether he was leaving or not, just said let’s get through this and we’ll sort that stuff out at and of year, honestly think he’s thinking about going to North, they’re trying for Ollie Wines too. His old man is there and his childhood mate could be there too, don’t be surprised if he leaves at end of year!!

    Amazing how winning the centre clearances makes a difference @Binmans PA.

    Yeah, I see a forward line of JVR, Fritsch, Turner and Jefferson. Petty May and Lever down back. I am a huge fan of TMac, but can't see him in the 22 next year (having sad that, he keeps surprising me).

    Like you, Turner looks on the edge of busting the game apart.

    • 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.
