Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    Oliver not fit enough we can’t keep playing him, until he gets back to a reasonable fitness level back to vfl.

    Jeffo not ready for AFL

    Fritsch needs to go back to vfl for real this time.

    Langford looks like he will be an absolute gun

    The game should have been over at 3/4 time. We dominated the middle part of the game and missed 8 easy shots at goal

    Another last quarter masterclass by us AFTER another masterclass performance in goal kicking.

    U reap what you sow.

    FFS ANOTHER SEASON WASTED.

    But don’t worry it gets easier next week with the lions at the Gabba 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Poor goalkicking.

    Wasted opportunities.

    Last quarter fade out

    (Copy and paste from any game, really)

    Umpiring was corrupt but it’s not why we lost. We were in it at 3Q but didn’t turn up. Again. Apparent we are not a real team and won’t beat any real teams this year. Blood the kids, get ready for 2026

    I reckon Goodwin outcoached Mitchell today but if your players can’t kick straight from 30m it doesn’t matter what tactics you use

    Season over for all practical purposes.

    Only thing keeping my interest is denying Essendon a high draft pick.

    Continual injuries haven't helped but there's little joy to be had this year

    Please Dees, just give me 4 quarters of pressure like the first three, and accurate goal kicking when we have the game on our terms …….. and an even hand from the umpires would also be nice, thank you very much!

    I'll say the worst umpiring I've seen in a long time., muppets.

    But it was all the regulation set shots we missed in the 2nd and 3rd that cost us the game.

    Otherwise that was the best team effort we have played all year as a team. There is still the issue of 4th qtr fadeouts to work on.

    In my distant youth an accidental trip was a free and a deliberate trip is a suspension. What is it now?

    Our inability to develop a key forward post Neitz needs to be studied.

    • 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.
