    JVR or Jefferson done much ? 

    JVR (blue) was not oustanding but competing hard IMO.  Rewarded himself with a goal from 15m while being tackled after a contest and collect.  Jeffo (white) and AJ (white) really didnt see much of it while I was there.  White held up for the first 10-15 minutes but the last i saw they were down 14 to 60 odd (? really wasnt paying the score much attention) late in the third.

    McAdam possibly ahead of Jeffo for a round 1 spot by the sounds?

    That’s a Picket Fence nightmare right there.

    Would say so. I’d probably have AJ ahead of Jeffo too, though note that neither AJ nor Jeffo swapped onto the ‘A’ side during the last quarter.

    Apparently injured?

    Yes, McAdam injured his leg and took no further part in the match.

    Rivers played on-ball all game.  He didn't play in defence.

    Bowey played defence all game, despite his goal.

    If I get time I'll add some more thoughts.

    Was he helped off or walk unaided? (sorry, too soon?)

    There's footage of him being carried off by 2 trainers on 'myheartbeatstrue' instagram page, he wasn't putting any weight through the left leg

    The real question is did he walk off himself or was he carried off by the trainers? 
     

    Joking joking, in all seriousness I hope he’s okay, poor bugger just can’t seem to get a run at it

    Roy George here we come. Seriously I hope McAdam hasn’t done anything beyond a minor sprain and will be back on track in a week or two. Fingers crossed.

    I reckon they'll go with Jai Culley if the opportunity arises, he's been very impressive from what I've seen.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
