    Hard to like Port Melbourne after growing up in Sandringham during the 1970's

    It was seriously Hate v Hate

    Fair enough. The fights at the beach oval back then were for keeps i assure you!!

    When the VFA were televised live (for the youngsters this happened before the VFL ,,, now the AFL were televised) Port were probably "bigger" than some of the VFL clubs.

    Hard to think it now

    Would love to have some of Ports Hard men on Demons list

    Young Ruckman Lachlan Waddell Impressed got beaten for knockouts but very athletic and at 21 has huge room for improvement is not a one dimensional Ruckman

    I was a Sunshine boy. Saw a 1962 or so Port versus Sunshine blood bath at Selwyn Park, then home of Sunshine Footy and cricket club.

    My under 16 Sunshine footy coach was an ex port player, Jack Storey.

    I still barracked for them today. Turned the TV off in last quarter, the Tigers 2 goals in front. Felt elated when they won.

    I don't like the Tigers. They have an ugly sense of cocky arrogance about them these days. I hope Adelaide well and truly creams them.

    At Skinner Reserve, Anthony Ferguson and co? I played at Skinner in the under 16's...

    How did you become a Demon man?

    I watched the final. quarter of this. Brilliant game. 3 goals down at the 20 minute mark and they win. Lennon missing after the siren will hurt for awhile.

    But I like this story, a club thats not involved with an AFL Club, nearly kicked out, going broke and cant get sponsors. But dug deep and now premiers. Garry ayres should be commended. Unlucky not to do more AFL coaching. 

    Plus they came up against a vfl team that is buzzing as a whole at the moment. 

    Plus it may set a precedence for the week for Richmond.

    Brought up by a Demon mad father

    He played VFA for Yarraville as did two of my Uncles

    They had no time for Footscray not sure why

    All my mates either played for or supported the Bulldogs

    So they sang its a grand old flag after both VFL premierships ... wonderful.

    Dumb question, but does that mean 2 teams in the comp share the same song? It never occurred to me before! ?

    good effort by port, specially considering richmond could stack their side with listed players due to being still in afl finals

    I played against Laurie Sandilands in a final. I kicked 2 goals. I could have been star!!!

    I guess where your dad and uncles came from could have been an issue...

    Also Tynon. I had great hopes for him when he was with us. Shame it didn't work out.

    It was a great game.  I'm thrilled Richmond didn't win, and given that Port were on the verge of folding at the start of the year it's an amazing effort by them. 

     

    Can someone tell me again why Ayers isn't coaching an AFL side?

    This is the big mystery 'Ralph' and his win/loss record at AFL level is a decent 53%...

    Not the worst option for the Gold Coast suns.

    I grew up as an Oakleigh supporter in the VFA. My dad played for them so I went along to most Oakleigh games. Absolutely hated Port Melbourne back then but very happy for them yesterday.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
