Gee our last quarters leave a lot to be desired, would love to see us just smash a team in the last quarter for once. Don't think i'm off the reservation in saying that questions have to be asked about our fitness team.

nonetheless, 4 points is 4 points.

    Also the debate is over, Max Gawn is the greatest ruckman to ever play the game.

    Great win! Much improved performance across so many facets.

    Although I think Fullarton would shirk a contest with Josh Schache

    I’m one of those who cares about habits. I care about %, I care about being as high on the ladder as possible. I care about Essenscum getting a lesser pick. I care about learning to stomp on teams when you have the chance.

    Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

    I saw it differently dd and thought it was good to give him a rest.

    Even though our last quarter was pathetic especially without Gawn we had won the game and didn’t think it was an arrogant move and I am not a goody fan.

    Gee we have a knack of picking up tall forwards who have no physical presence whatsoever. Fullerton, Schache, Weideman to name a few.

    He is so important to our back 6 and controlled the game tonight

    5 day break was always going to be a factor. Reflect on that before criticising the last 10 too much

    Is it mathematically possible that a win in round one in a very tight game v Gws could have seen us with other permutations allow us to be in the top 8 and if so wth?

    Take the win, but Jeebers….

    I don't know how anyone can dispute it. It felt like we laid 3 tackles in that last quarter.

    Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

    What are you talking about?

    If we played how we played against North tonight, we would’ve lost by 100. Easily. The difference between how we’ve played against North/ESS/GC/Geelong is massive.

    I care about getting a win and building. Resting Gawn for next week

    Also I care about enjoying footy and enjoying a win

    Richmond also had a 5 day break, in fact they had 6 hours less recovery than us.

    So what your “reflections” on that?

    I guess we'll find out?

    Happy with the points but it's becoming a worrying trend. I dont need to bury teams every week but at least breaking even in the last would have nice.

    I always have more confidence when I know our side can run out games, it gives you a chance.

    A win is a win is a win though.

    I was disappointed Max went off, but he was heroic again tonight and needs every rest he can get.

    With the game won, imagine how Goodwin would have been crucified if he had stayed on and copped an injury.

    The fact is that some of his teammates need to look hard at themselves for downing tools in the final minutes.

    Am I in the game day thread? Miserable bunch you lot. After five horrible losses I’m taking wins in any way shape or form at the moment. And that… was a pretty easy one.

    A lot will be rightly said about Gawn’s performance but Jake Bowey being an elite AA defender wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

    Last quarters are a worry. Fullerton is not a worry because we’ll most likely never see him again at AFL level.

    Potentially 3 in a row next week and then Hawks are very gettable at the G. I’m choosing to believe! Lessgo

    Why should Gawn being off the ground result in the our players slacking off their efforts?

    Also what has Gawn sitting on the bench to do with some pathetic Melbourne turnovers hitting Richmond players on the chest?

    • 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.
