Now watching the storm about to kick off. A coach that knows how to coach & a team that knows how to play & win.

But will be keeping an eye on the west coast game

    The reason North looked amazing against us is that we apply absolutely zero pressure. No physicality, no desire from us since round 1.

    All Carlton had to do today was be a little harder...put a few goals on north and their very attacking mids drop their heads. They don't work two ways.

    We didn't even try to test them - we are so so so slow, lethargic, one dimensional and gassed that it genuinely provides energy to the other team

    Yep. We were either as fumbly or worse than they were, looked slower and our pressure just looked horrible. They weren’t good, we were REALLY awful

    A shame West coast couldn't go on with it. Yes I know that would mean us being on the bottom.

    But what happened to draper?

    Essendon already lost 1 ruckman last week

    Bombers paid a mark for what we weren't last week, then also a fiddy. Of course.

    Best recent decision by the Pies was to trade out Jack 'my shorts are too big because I've got a little *&(#@) Ginnivan. They woke up to the nightmare before most footy followers. Wouldn't mind betting Sidey and Pendles had their fingerprints all of that.

    I’d love the tea on that trade. There’s got to be a reason they were so happy to get rid of him

    Not really sure why there is buzz around LDU from North, maybe had a bad game but I only watched a little and the 4 or 5 instances where he was involved he made a meal of each one. Just looked selfish, but maybe that’s as a result of the losses stacking up and forcing you to think you have to do it yourself.

    Lots of despair on X tonight from North supporters. I know our season is [censored] but thank God we had some recent success.

    This is a big part of it.

    Goodwin called it out this week.

    It's almost my sole focus tomorrow. If we're not "on", and early, that will say a lot IMO.

    Loved Hunt’s pressure in the last couple of minutes.

    Miss that headband. Had to confirm it was him

    Expecting more from H Reid. Looked like he wasn't in the centre for that final bounce.

    Entertaining game between two cellar dwellers

    Well I guess we can cross West Coast over there in round 8 off the winnable list based on tonight.

    So now it’s down to Richmond, North and West Coast at Marvel.

    • 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.
