    St Kilda's brand doesn't work away from Etihad against half decent opposition. It's high pressure, high intensity, but it's the sort of brand that has very little to it and won't stand up in finals either. They don't have enough contested ball beasts in the middle.

    Agree. Saints wins games on pure effort. They won't do any damage in finals without more talent in the middle. forward line looks good though.

    I reckon their spine is looking pretty impressive, but Stevens, Armitage... Acres? Billings? Ross? Gresham? It's not a group that comes anywhere near ours, the Dogs or GWS' midfield group.

    Not going for Port and I couldn't give a rats about them, but they're still making me groan and swear with some of the errors, e.g. the Westhoff spilt mark, Trengove kicking it to nobody.  

    They are mindbogglingly bad, and Westhoff is having the worst game I've seen him play (personified by that kick for goal).

    Not to mention 10 minutes ago when he burned his teammate running open into the goalsquare (only to spray his kick for goal) and 5 minutes ago when he spoiled a ball rather than marked it, leading straight to an Adelaide goal.

    Hawthorn look beatable, West Coast look beatable, Sydney look beatable, Geelong look beatable, Western Bulldogs look beatable, GWS look beatable, and now Adelaide look beatable.

    Are you forgetting someone?

    It's funny. It's almost as if they all just want to get to September uninjured and have switched off a little.

    Amazing. 17,000 Collingwood fans tonight. If it was Melbourne everyone would be up in arms. The lack of crowds for these 'big' Victorian based sides over the last 2-3 years has been overt.

    Toumpas finding it hard to find the ball tonight. Just the seven touches and a goal.

    Yep that is a stinker of a crowd and tells you right now how unhappy pies fans have been this season. They are just no interested anymore. 

    So Howe took a few hangers did he? Well that's nice.

    I turned over from the Showdown for 2 minutes and Howe took a regulation mark. The commentators couldn't control themselves, wetting their chairs with excitement. Just the usual brain-cell killing dribble from Seven's Saturday night commentary team.

    LOL. I said Toumpas costs us 2 games a year from momentum killing turnovers last year in the trade period. He just cost Port 1 game. He's a  ripper

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
