    I'm really surprised at the love for Gawny today. Obviously he had some great moments but the couple of kicking clangers really were very poor and hurt a lot.

    Also, I thought that Cameron had more impact around the ground linking for the pies and got into more score involvements.

    1. May. Back to his best the last fortnight and an absolute wall and intercepting well.

    1. Langdon. Wonderful shut down role on someone who sadly is a hell of a ball user - although he's a seagull. Yes we lost Lingers run and carry but it was worth it to stop Daicos who's stats were inflated by some very suspicious decisions going his way and an ordinary 50m penalty.

    1. Kozzy. Three amazing goals and took his chances when he needed to. Probably sometimes tried to hard and got stuck in traffic but I'd rather him doing this then bombing it to no on.

    1. Oliver. He really really really just wants the ball more than the next bloke and one some incredibly one on ones. Good hands at times but still lets us down with the dump kicks occasionally.

    1. Turner. Just good hands, good decisions and tough nut of a player. A lot to love about him

    1. Bowey. Don't recall much damage from the pies smalls and this guy just keeps on negating and rebounding really well. Has been great all year.

    Special mention to Sparrow today as I saw him really going hard at Houston in a defensive role. Not sure if he was on him all game but I just noticed him with him a lot and can't recall Houston rebounding much today which was surprising with our ordinary delivery.

    All of the Age, Herald Sun and AFL.com listed Gawn as our best. In the Herald Sun he received 1 vote (Howe and J Daicos got the 3 and 2), in the Age he received 7 (Howe and J Daicos scored 8). Incidentally, Gawn is now outright second in The Age Player of the Year award behind Bailey Smith. So it seems there was a lot of "love for Gawny" everywhere yesterday, not just on Demonland (with a few notable exceptions). Cameron had three disposals to half time and got 19 hitouts for the game. He rated 10 on CD ranking points to Gawn's 17.6.

    Great team performance, great coaching performance, disappointing result. Thanks umps🤮

    1. May - best game for years. Elliott had little impact.

    1. Langdon - sacrificed his usual role for a masterful hard tag on N. Daicos.

    1. Gawn - another dominant performance in the ruck, and behind the ball (especially in the last).

    1. Turner - solid as a rock. He’s a beauty!

    1. Bowey - continued his stellar season.

    1. Oliver - his competitive nature and ball winning ability were on show. If only he could kick!

    Lots of commendations including Petracca, Pickett, McVee & Fritsch.

    I hate it when we lose games we should win ( albeit with better application) like yesterday or don’t turn up to play like Alice Springs. Makes me feel sheethouse.

    IF we had those the season was Rosie

    Looking good !

    Still there are always learnings

    @Demonland sorry all Demonlanders. I can’t give Fritsch a vote or kudos. He needed to go back and nail that goal in the last quarter. 20 metres out slight angle. Crucial mistake. We had the momentum. I know he kicked one from the pocket but his simple errors are costing us.

    You can't really know who McRae and Goodwin voted for. Nevertheless, who do you think from Melbourne should have been awarded votes ahead of Pendlebury and Sidebottom?

    • 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.
