    I'm only going by the twitter feed but he's already had 2 shots on goal but missed them both.  He has gotten both shots from marks on the lead though so that's a good sign early.

    yeah Weeds is moving well. Presenting really well & taken 2 strong marks out in front on the lead. Should have 2 on the board. Lumumba has racked em up & setting up some nice plays forward. Brayshaw in everything. Stretch & Neal bullpen playing well. O Mac has been impressive too. Will keep you guys posted at half time.

    Thanks DHD, did we have the breeze that quarter ?

    Pre-Game Warm Up:

    Gus - No strapping on knee. Looked relaxed

    Stretch - Focussed & fit 

    ANB - Right knee strapped. Probably just the norm for bloke with those earlier knee cap issues. 

    Dunn - "is it home time yet?"

    Weid - A very deliberate & steady approach to goal. Very rhythmic & pure. Technique will hold him in good stead.

    Hulett - As we all probably know by now - Kid's & brick. Also a pretty sound & fluent technique for goal. Good penetration on the leg.

    Game time- 1stQ

    First bounce, first touch, bork & centre clearance from Gus into F50.

    First score - Stretch looking damaging heading into F50 with the delivery to the Weid. 35out, 45degree angle - Poster.

    First goal of the game - who else? Gus. Out of a stoppage from deep in our F50, gather from the tap, another Bork then a left snap thru the sticks. Off to the bench sir 

    5mins later - Gus back on.

    H with the pick up & gather from a pack just outside D50, feeds Gus with the hands who strides thru the middle. Quick long waited handball to a casey bloke who delivers chest high to the leading Weid. Great passage, great separation & lead from Weid. Know's where to run as a forward. 40m out, directly in front - Behind. Just. 

    Weid with 0.2. Looks the good tho.

    Siren sounds. That's Quarter time.

    3.3.21 - Casey
    1.0.6 - Port

    As long as he doesn't Björk as well.  We are trying to forget that culture of recent times.

    2nd Q:

    Oscar with a couple of nice early touches in defence. Then a mark in a 2v2 situation 60out from our attacking 50. Looking composed & comfortable - for now.

    H amongst it half way thru this second term. Finding himself deep & amongst packs... Handling himself OK. Tad rusty but that's a bit expected coming off those ankles. 

    Mitch White with the ball unmarked with an eternity of time & grass to pick & choose where to go next.

    .....
    .....

    Eventually to be caught holding the ball. Should never have happened. Not a good look.

    Gus again with another signature clearance just outside our attacking 50. & when I mean signature I mean this natural gather, 'Baulk' (Cheers Pineapple Dee)  & step (this time to the right) on the boot to a leaping Weideman!!! Ump reckons in the back - BS!. Great passage.

    Dunn doing his thing down back. Looks fine. Can just tell he's looking ahead to this time next week.

    Heavy gale towards Port's end has them controlling the second part of the term.

    They sneak ahead.

    Halftime 

    4.4.28 - Caesy
    5.4.34 - Port

    Phone dies.

    • 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.
