Looks like Port are finding some form.

Also Wines - holy [censored] what a quarter so far.

13 touches, 4 clearances (3 CC), 4 inside 50s.

Ridiculous.

For a preview of Saturday afternoon's slogfest, tune into Seven tonight. Going to need to contest the hell of that ball and run like hell if we want to get the 4 points.

The entire Seven commentary team give me the shits.

Bruce and his rhetorical questions.

BT and his, frankly, bizarre comments.

Richo can't say anything controversial to save himself.

Watson with his incapacity to be objective.

Lingy and his capacity to state the bleeding obvious.

Darcy, like a politician, says a lot but doesn't say anything.

Bruce Mc Aveney gives you the [censored], doesn't he?

He is ssspecial!! Varcoe's brilliant tap back from the boundary for a goal hardly got a mention from anyone and someone had to tell Bruce who it was but can you imagine the dripping accolades if it had been Cyril!

Bloody Taylor Adams. Animal. Kneed ?Westhoff several times in the face whilst on the ground.

We will find out just how sacrosanct the MRP finds the head I guess.

Gutless, mongrel act

low impact , in play, unintentional, accidental, $ 300 fine ( I'll be amazed if the finding is much different )

That's a really, really low dog act from Adams IMO.

Otherwise, ripping game. Not sure how to read it - Port's been awful the last month so it's a bit worrying for Collingwood to drop this game. They're now 8-6 and sliding, with West Coast next week. Could be 8-7 heading into a game at Etihad against the Dogs, which could then mean 8-8 when they face us...

We will find out this week at the MRP whether they regard the head as sacrosanct are if they are as corrupt as they sometimes appear.

Taylor Adams [allegedly] DELIBERATELY kneed an opponent - I think Westhoff - in the face (part of HEAD) several times.

Should be 4 or 5 weeks but because he didn't kill or concussion him I guess they will say Ko case to answer of some piddling (for them) fine

They have a choice : mark their ground and stamp this thuggery out, now, or say it it ok ,or not too bad, and it will continue until there is a serious injury.

Dog of an act with potential for extremely serious injury.

He kneed him on the temporal bone, the most fragile and vulnerable part of the skull. It doesn't take much to cause a fracture and bleeding internally. It's the area that cricketers helmets are designed to most protect. That sort of action on the football field is totally unacceptable regardless of the consequences

Yep, $100 fine.

Some amazing comments tonight. Loved the one about how Buckley is always so calm and has his emotions so under control in the coaches box, then in the next Q bucks smashes the phone into the desk, not for the first time.

...and for Bruce the field seems to be full of barometers.

BT was also in love with the "large particles... of liquid."

Thankfully it wasn't mentioned in the same sentence as "The Package."

...and what was that free kick for...out on the full BT. Watch the game idiot.

Idiot 2, Richo...they've got a couple of key players off the ground at the moment BT, Wines and Wingard. Little does he realise is that Wingard is taking a free kick for out on the full.

But only because the package wasn't playing

Heard it so many times last week

Awful

You're not wrong Mono.

Was disgusted with what I saw tonight. Adams dropped the knee on Westhoff's face at least 4 times, the last with some force.

He should go straight to the tribunal, get a week for each attempt and 2 or 3 for the last attempt, 5 or 6 weeks all up. Sure it sounds harsh, but this sort of BS has no place in our game and he must be made an example of.

Lazy game for Wines.

34 disposals, 9 clearances, 10 tackles, 5 i50.
:(

Mmm better swap him for Toumpas in my Supercoach team!

Any chance the media will finaly jump off the Collingwood bandwagon now? they havent won for a month. they look promising for the future but will have no impact on the flag race this year

hope we smash em in a few weeks. should have salem and Kent back by then

You don't like Bruce, do you?

He drives us crazy, doesn't he?

He'd be better off retiring, wouldn't he?

Can't stop using 'off a step', can he?

Gee he's a gooood commentator, isn't he?

Doesn't mind players 'caressing the ball', does he?

Make you sick of listening to the footy, couldn't it?

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
