I thought Max's performance today was incredible especially given the fact he had to contend with two oppo ruckmans who simply just played the man all day long and didnt contest the ball at all.

It may have worked for Grundy last year but Maxy taught him a lesson today.

Better, Kozzie is a disrupter of opposition composure. The way Max takes long down the line out of the equation, Kozzie puts the fear of God into rebounding defenders. Jurrah a better mark, but everything else Kozzie.


Why wouldn’t they try TMac up forward in place of AJ?

In good form , good mark and can kick, I’d say he could even do better than Petty.

Just nicked off to watch the game again before bed.
What I'd give to be able to mute the commentators and just have crowd noise.
Brereton ..... Arrrgh 🤬

AJ has presence, and is a great 2nd ruck. I also like his positioning and he runs with the fall of the ball. I sincerely hope JVR comes good, but the way AJ is moving when the ball is on the deck applies pressure that JVR doesn’t bring. He still ball watches, after he feels the contest has past him, AJ keeps moving regardless, it’s valuable. And his nouse to tap rather than take possession should get more credit, kept ball alive. Oh by the could the previous Petty haters (apart from STFU) apologize, all that garbage about him not being invested.

After one of Derm’s trademark inane comments (something to do with Brad Johnson looking at Fritsch’s eyes or something), I made the comment that Fox Footy obviously hate us - it’s the only explanation for why they give us the garbage they do.


A Deemolition of the Swans! Only inaccurate kicking for goal kept the Swans in it until the dam eventually burst. Having Salem, Oliver and Melksham in form makes a big difference. The Dees are still alive and kicking in 2025 👍

To think Tracc could have played his 200th for a different club puts into perspective how much of a privilege it is to watch him go about his work for us. The same really can be said for Claz as well and i'm so looking forward to his milestone match this year.

One day it will be hard to fathom we got to see Max, Kozzy, Tracc, Claz etc. all in the same team.

EXACTLY .... You aint in Finals mode let alone Premiership mode with an A.J in your side... Class Wins flags!

Waiting for Kingy to retract his Oliver is unlikely to be an A grader again.

It's amazing that after the endless stream of proven bad calls and comments you've made over years, that there's never been a hint of self regulation or reflection. Take a step back for once and enjoy the win

So apparently the fox commentators couldn't be bothered to come to the G to call. That's disgraceful

Ah that explains a few of BTs comments during the game. At first I thought he was having a crack at Melbourne supporters but then he was saying you really have to be at the game to get a proper feel for the crowd.

I flicked over to fox during the adds but after less than a minute of listening to Breteton I had to switch back. My god he is painful.

There was so much to like but what impressed me most was our forward pressure in the last quarter when the game was done and dusted.

Boys were hungry today it was awesome to see.

Yep I just can't be convinced that it's some coincidence that his one poor year (2023) came when he had a shaved head.

Another game, another really good win, another step forward in attracting players in the off-season.

(And coaches, support staff, sponsors ... not to mention members.)

this. watching him live today, he's in great form, probs our best tall back when the ball hits the ground, and marking beautifully. Great call by Goodwin to rest Tmac. I think this is a crucial period in Turners development where he is playing elite footy. you don't want to mess with that. They will bring Tmac back no doubt but they may have to move him forward. turner is playing irresistible footy.

Yep.

And he has a couple if attributes Tmac doesn't, or at least not to the same level - genuine speed and excellent lateral movement.

I'm loving how goodTurner is running back with the flight of the ball.

  • 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.

    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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
