Cross has been super impressive in the air all year.

Great guy for Toumpas to learn from.

Whatever else happens today, the club should strongly consider playing all our NT matches in Alice, rather than Darwin. It's a normal Autumn day here - there's no oppressive heat or humidity, and the

You'd think we are losing by 15 goals to GWS. Stop your whinging. We are seriously playing amazing footy against the top of the ladder team. Of course we all want to win, but we should be extremel

I'm busy today so I can't watch the game and have been checking in on the afl.com.au match centre commentary. I'm extremely confused by this update:

  • Q1 17:40

    A swing and a miss for Dawes as Lobbe annoys him to the point of frustration. If there was any connection there Dawes would be on a long enforced holiday.

Do we have another Dawes? Or does Port have a player also named Dawes punching on with his own teammate? Or is it breaking out in the stands? WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

It was Jamar

That "punch" was from Jamar.

The heat from the sun and the Power's run could make for a very, very ugly last quarter.

Umpiring is absolutely PATHETIC. JKH being manhandled and held all over the place, not getting any free kicks despite being impossible for him to mark anything.

[censored] joke umps.

Agreed.

That 25 metre pass that the umpire called "play-on" for not being long enough (before the ball was even marked) and the inconsistency of the hands in the back have been a disgrace.

And are Port the league leaders in staging? Monfries is the Laurence Olivier of theatrics, and that Viney "swing" barely touched the Port player, yet he grabbed his chest as if he'd been punched square in the gut.

Flogs.

Cross and Dunn were good down back.

Kennedy Harris is one of those rare players - where he just looks dangerous everytime it comes near him.

I watch Kennedy Harris and expect him to win every contest, it is the sign of a great player.

Salem a good start with 5 kicks for the quarter.

Good to see Jamar throwing his weight around.

Grimes needs to chase with more intensity, he jogged after a kick in and lost it, he jogged after his player then realised he was going to go for goal so started to chase all too late, very little tackling and damn too slow to move the ball. wasted opportunities. Having said that some positives gawns goal, pederson has been good. Hopefully they will settle down now and play better football than the first half of that quarter.

Dunn is saving our backside, Watts looks good on the open ground and I wouldn't be banging on about Jetta on Wingard yet. Chad can get goals very quickly.

I'm so sick of umpires missing clear free kicks in general pay then paying RIDICULOUS holding the ball's at random intervals (ALWAYS against us too).

Port deserve to be winning but I think 20 point lead flatters them. We have played pretty well after the early avalanche.

JKH is all class.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
