Great mark Fritta. Also possibly the best quarter I've ever seen Chandler play.

That Spargo kick 😘.

Curtis is a worry. We haven't got a great match up for him.

    Spanked in the middle, spanked on the outside, 6 points in front. 

    I'll take it.

    Soft free to JVR. I’d be fuming the other way

    Happened right in front of me. Clear free. Defender knew it straight away and threw his hands up in guilt.

    Lucky North didn’t capitalise early in the qtr, Chin, Oliver, Rooter started well. 
    things changed towards the end of the qtr, we seemed to take the game on more which is lovely to see.

    Having Spargo and Salem deliver the ball inside 50 helps. Doesn't happen enough at the MCG.

    Two sitters missed in the past three minutes 🤬

    Interesting read in the Casey thread about our atrocious kicking for goal there today too.

    A couple of people saying that there's no structured goal kicking at as part of training.

    Just players having pings at goal in their own time.

    A little bewildering if true.

    Players with one disposal or less: Turner, Lever, Howes, and Jefferson with zero.

    Really missing McVee and Windsor (amongst others of course).

    That could have been a catastrophic 3 way injury to Fritta, Jeffo and Roo!

    dodged a bullet.

    Mistakes, poor pressure and woeful kicking for goal and we still finished the quarter ahead. 

    Only need a 5% lift and we’ll blow this out of the water.

    Rivers, Petracca, Gawn, Langdon all having shocking games. Four elite players who could turn up and give us a huge boost.

    JVR misses a chest mark then missed one from 25m?

    Terrible. He got a great block from a teammate.

    Jefferson is like the baby of Watts and Weideman. Not great.

    Looks hurt here, hope he's ok, but honestly subbing him out wouldn't be there worst.

    Don't worry Pickett will kiss it better...

    Luckily the umpires are favouring us

    Trac one contested touch and terrible kicking

    We have plenty of improvement to come!

    Just in case anyone forgot why Spargo is in the team and why we’ve missed him and someone like him, that pass into 50 to Langdon (?) is perfect evidence. 

    Lowers the eyes, skilled, smart.

    Nice pass by Salo at the end, too.

    Better end to the game hopefully we run off from that. Nice to see Fritter on the board, too. 

    Let’s go!!! 🔥

    Gawn in for a hard days work with Xerri. Becoming a great ruckman and the next generation. Who will win? Love it

    What was the reason for the First Quarter being so long, i can only follow scores on here today?

    Yes but both take too long to get the ball moving. But agree  position kicks into F50 help

    • 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.
