    That’s an interesting way of looking at it. 🧐

    Watched him closely 20 kicks 10 where from kick ins . That he kicked high to a pack everytime. 7 rebounds from defensive 50 for 5 turnovers . I wouldn't expect any one to watch that Trainwreck again but if you did you'd see he was not good

    So another one who just watches games for mistakes?

    The 3 word is easy for this game, similar to a few others this season, that have occurred for a myriad of reasons, hopefully some of which will be rectified next season.

    Poor team performance

    Time  to take the gentleman's game more seriously - the Dees let us down again - so it's Shield and Test cricket for the next 6 months ... total refreshment! That should give those who represent us at the Club sufficient time to make amends, turning abject failures into tangible ownership of rallied hopes. 

    '24 was an absolute disappointment, footy-wise.

    If so it's disappointing.

    Maybe wise from an injury perspective.

    I keep thinking poor Milkshake in the last h and a round last year.

    But from a payback perspective not so much. Just saying.

    I reckon he shows a bit up the ground but has NFI inside 50. Could work if we had other really good key forwards to kick to but for now JVR and Turner are just learning so you can't tell me he wouldn't provide more value as a defender. Appreciate his effort, resilience, and 33% goal increase last week but his lack of scoring has been a dead weight on our forward line this year.

    On Petty I wonder if it would be worth trialling him as a 4th tall defender? 

    Could he do a job on small/medium forward? Does he have sufficient pace/dexteriety to match and then use his strength & height as an advantage? 

    If he could play that role, could TMac then be a relief ruck option from out of the backline (or maybe too much to ask...)?

    • 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?
