It's insulting that we aren't favourites next week. I rate GWS but they are very bruised atm.

I think we all know where we are heading if we can’t knock off a depleted GWS on our turf (albeit Kozzie out and Green to return)

    Cameron has to be suspended for that push, 

    Yep. After all the noise over the preseason about pushing into a contest. He's in trouble

    I’d never predict how any club will go based on the result of the first match.

    Thought we were the only team that can't kick straight?

    True, but I feel next week’s a statement game against a quality side, and will provide a bit of an insight as to how we measure up this year.

    Yeah, it’s huge in terms of where we’re at having had such an incredible preseason and with all the changes (coaches etc.)

    Collingwoods kicking in perfect conditions has been pathetic

    Nah, I choose to believe that Collingwood are just disappearing into a hole.

    Now, we're not a fast team by any means, but at least we often work hard to cover important space and we've got a few kids coming up with a bit of speed. Collingwood are in danger of being ripped open by some of the fast-attacking teams like GWS and Hawthorn.

    But, also, yes, round 1 v GWS is going to be a big test to start the season because they are clearly a dangerous unit capable of attacking in ways which bypass our best defensive traits.

    • 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?
