    And I nearly lost my voice after the 3rd. Thankfully with a little help from some amber fluid I was still able to communicate. But that's not always the way !

    It was a great game and yes Davey was a big loss. I'm truly itching for Sunday arvo.

    This game it otherwise known as the "worst-umpired game in history" for anyone who didn't recognise it by it's other title.

    As we saw vs Sydney, last time they met means absolute diddly squat.

    Expecting a close one if Chip plays. I really think we'll win. One stat that will decide the game. Stoppages. If we can actually win the stoppages this week, then we'll go a long way to winning. the hawks use their skill around the clearance and move the ball fast- they aren't fast, so if we can nullify this then it's our game to be won!

    Jurrah, Watts to fire this week and Dunn and Green to kick straight!

    That was a significant factor ~ !

    Funny thing is that when I look back, I think of every game we've lost (or even drawn) as the "worst-umpired game in history".

    Strange about that WJ !

    • 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.
