Tbf, this is only their second match of the year after playing in round 1 and then the bye.

They look seriously good in the contest and on the spread and would be expected to get a lot better as the season goes on.

Absolutely. Their spread today is asking us look pedestrian.

 

This has 10 goal thumping all over it

But they love each other

    Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

    Dropped marks, miskicks, handballs that fail to travel a metre, constant turnovers, etc. etc. nothing to do with Goodwin.

    Trick question...... they're all on the nose.

    forwards, our goals have been kicked by the sub and a backman

    Lindsay, if anything probably a PCL unfortunately

    Thanks very much. Bloody shame for the young kid. Been doing well.

    Heartbreaking for him.

    Time to call the season off.

    Never seen them so disinterested under goodwin.

    Think he's lost them.

    How long do we have to keep watching this garbage.
    Till the club has withered and died a slow death.
    Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

    We need to make a statement and stand for something.

    Must admit I try to avoid the AFL official media just as much as I try and avoid the Gameday thread. But any danger someone from the AFL could drop by training one day and take a snap of the vice-captain and add it to the file?

    Thanks Mr C. Snake . At least Milkshake has still got it.

    And I called for Bowser to moved fwd two weeks ago. He is fast, fleet of foot,has great hand to eye coordination and in the limited opportunities had good goal awareness. Given Kozzie s suspension and Nibbler leaving, Chins apparent cameo for the year, he could be handy.

    Everything to do with the coach, good coaches do not tolerate continued mistakes.

    Except for the fact that he is the one in charge of the list and all that..

    I don’t know what to make of this team. They look like they just aren’t invested in the game plan (whatever that may be), they don’t appear to be working for each other (very little talking or awareness of what team mates are doing) and they just appear to lack energy. Honestly, I feel like I’m watching a Neeld era match… it’s so [censored] awful!!

    Fritsch can’t buy a goal, Rivers is having possibly the worst game I’ve seen him play, Viney appears to be disposing of the ball to players that we can’t see, Salem doesn’t appear to want to lay a tackle, Oliver still having the occasional expensive brain fart etc etc. And on top of all of that we lose Lindsay, one of our most productive players in the first two rounds, early in the game.

    I am liking Johnson’s attitude if not his skill set, and I’ve liked Sharp’s run. Back to the game now…

    Reminds me of when players used to walk away ignoring the Neil Balme qtr time huddles.

    FFS need to make a statement and drop Oliver. He has been a liability.

    Well actually he isn't.

    List manager and recruitment are in charge of that. Sure Goodwin has input but he won't make the calls.

    • 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?

    • 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.
