    Langdon had five second half possessions with 1 tackle. Went missing big time.

    I think that's the problem.

    Our lack of quality smalls and theirs being so good really stood out today.

    A bit tough I think, I thought he was very competitive and strong in the contest. Pretty good for mature recruit, never played at the level

    Henderson also looked comfortable with the pace of the game

    Lindsay looks swift and classy! Thought I was watching a Febey ♥️💙

    Also gave 2 goals away in the first half through lazy kicks...going backwards no less

    I heard the ABC call for the first half and watched mist of the second half.

    i think I agree Chandler, Howes and Fritta

    should be embarrassed to take the coin for this week and be nervous about next week’s. 
    and I think the AFL and their round zero can shove that idea where the sun does not shine.

    we did well but not well enough

    Fritsch out Turner in, and put May at FF

    Chandler out Spargo in

    I was at the G and kept a close eye on Fritsch for most of the game.

    Whilst he was far from his best and didn't trouble the scorers, I was encouraged by him getting a lot more involved in the sleeves up, second & third effort type stuff, rather than his more typical floating around the fringes waiting for someone to get it to him. 

    If he isn't getting points on the board I at least want him putting heat on the opposition defenders so someone else potentially can.

    To my eye, he did that job pretty well.

    How much credit does Fritsch have in the bank after his Grand Final success?

    At what stage can we say that his performances just aren’t worthy of automatic selection?

    Carefull....

    At times he looked sore and at one stage he couldnt run but in aswer to the question probably by round 4.  Still, who comes in?

    I agree

    He showed no interest at all getting himself into the game

    Fortunately for him, we don't have a replacement

    Bowey - impressive all game

    Yes Chook, I felt that Bowey was impressive across the game, not necessarily all game - but it was great to see him more active and inventive with his kicking skills, accuracy and tenacity in winning the ball on occasion. He can only put these experiences in the bank, work on these, become (once again) a really good clearing backman. I'd hope that the return of Judd will add to his capacities etc.

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are on the road for the next month and will be desperate to claim a crucial win to keep their finals hopes alive against Port Adelaide.

    • 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.

      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?
