We've hit the post 3-4 times today have to take chances left 5-6 goals out there today.

Need to lift intensity in the 2nd half.

Lose this and kiss the season good bye.

Those who think Salem is worth a spot in the side are kidding themselves. He is a liability when there is pace in the game, too busy trying to take the easy option.

Like a few of our premiership players, he’s very rapidly gone off post 2021. Very regularly shirks contact now as well.

Oh Max. for such a great player he has some brain fades.

Typical ruckman.

    I am sick and tired of the MFC going to The Alice for a nice Holiday and losing 4 points

    This game should be at the MCG…..

    Disgraceful kicking for goal…as usual…

    You're right. There's players like May (early), Langdon, McVee and even Clarrie who aren't switched on.

    Sharp - good sub but can he start a game. We may never know about Laurie.

    Wondered where maggot 8 had been hiding

    Yes but almost worth playing him forward and Petty Back!

    What planet are you on picket?

    Turner is our key back for the next 10 years. The worst thing we can do for his career is to keep swinging him forward, back, forward, back

    Not sure why people are having a crack at Healy’s commentary. He clearly thinks we are the better side and should win. Like us, I think he’s found our uneven effort after working so hard over the last month confounding. I agree with him.

    Is it my imagination or has Lingers been super quiet?

    75% of the side are passengers today

    17 players with 7 touches or less. Only 3 players have touched it 10x or more

    Ffs pull your collective fingers out


    If Windsors role was to play off HB, he is failing miserably. We don’t use his pace nor does he have the HB running patterns to break lines.

    30 seconds to go and Max chooses to kick across goal. WTAF!!!

    NormSmith would drag him.


    We’re in this, despite our abysmal patches of footy and poor kicking. We’d actually be even/in front if we kicked straight.

    Just need to come out and play good, honest, accountable footy.

    Hopefully the boys get a rocket to set them up for the second half.

    Kozzie (among others of course), needs a lift. He’s been incredibly poor.

    Not capable of blanketing an opponent either. Has Dan [censored] Butler had a kick since 2020? Jeez

    Our work rate had been extremely poor. We reduced the score that quarter because StKIlda are mediocre aside from effort. 2 players in a half of football with more than 10 touches. We have been winning games on work rate and selfless play but they seem to have not taken either onto the plane to Alice.

    Edited by Lil_red_fire_engine

    Gees we’d be in trouble without Turner.

    May got better that Q thank god

    If we can stiffen up at the back and increase the intensity we should win

    but that’s a big if


    Came for the game day thread hysteria. Did not disappoint

    Dee’s by 20+

    Windsor had had 6 kicks. 4 off his left side where he has awkwardly kicked with his right. Gotta be moved

    Windsor’s getting pulled back and out of the play and the Saints have capitalised on it.

     

    A decade playing at this [censored] hole and we still don’t understand the wind.

    F this game off.

    • 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.

    • 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.
