So much to like about that but I want to highlight AJ. He causes chaos up front, so much of which results in goals. We counted 5 today.

Go Dess

    Feel like I could complain about not winning by more but it was more than enough in the end, great by us in the end but swans simply didn’t turn up absolutely putrid

    Sydney is very lucky that wasn't a 20+ goal belting. They were equally as bad as we were good

    Sometimes when a team is poor it's mote about how well their opponent plays, and how effectively the oppo takes away their strengths and exploits their weaknesses.

    Today was one such example.

    If the umpires didn't somehow miss that trip on Kozzie in the goal square against the Hawks we would be 6 straight. That sucked the momentum out of us

    Clarry ❤️❤️❤️

    I love him so much. Great game.

    Guts and Determination.

    His season high tackle count is 9.

    He had 8 at half time (7 in the first quarter!), and 12 at the end.

    Playing with confidence in the new system. Asa result their is less skill error as player dont second guess where to go. Good to see it in practice against a good defensive side.

    Plus the team pressure is back. Great to see.

    This is a very good way to start my Sunday in Seattle. I can watch the game in full some time later.

    So good to see the lads happy - Clarry was going off and Trac is so focused these days.

    GO DEES!

    Actually, while I think of it, it's interesting to see the moves that they were doing at training in January and (early) Feb are starting to pull together. Really interesting.

    And Narrm is winning games! GO NARRM!

    Agreed our pressure was so strong it was fascinating to see Swans players seek the boundary line so often.

    We’re evolving. First year players in Lindsay and Langford start on the wings with Langdon on the interchange…since when?

    Lindsay played pretty much the entire game on the Warne Stand side…the new Langdon.

    Don’t look at Petty’s low disposal count as a negative, he worked Sydney’s best interceptor in McCartin over all day, a selfless game.

    Enjoy a marvelous win all.

    Great call on petty.

    I sat with a mate and his son in the forward pocket at the punt road end, one row back from the fence.

    That's the first time I've sat on the fence at an AFL gamec in so long i cant even remember the last time- maybe the 1981 grand final.

    So for half the match I had a close up view of petts. His work rate and physicality against McCartin was unbelievable.

    McCartin is a beast, must have 10kg on petts, but petts didn't give him an inch. So important, one to deny intercept marks and two get tge ball to ground for koz and the gang.

    I’m going to take a lot of things away from this game (Koz is the most dangerous player in the comp, Disco is a very underrated back/forward and will be a seriously important part of this team going forward, the kids continue to impress, if we can keep Melk as long as possible it will only help, Bowza is having a phenomenal year, Salo is finally getting some continuity in his footy and body, and while not always perfect is finally looking a lot like his old self)…

    … BUT for some reason, and I may be biased because I love Claz so much But he looks happy and that intensity, fitness and those hands, those gorgeous lightning quick hands were back today. We have missed them. So good to see him back to his old ways, there is no one else like him when he’s like that. And that is what I will take away the most from today.

    Team was amazing. Gaining momentum and confidence ❤️

    • 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.
