    Adelaide  coaching staff gave Port the game. Sent ALL their players back, except wingers with 40 secs to go. Port had the extras at HB. Adelaide won the clearance and kicked it straight into the Port wall. Ball straight down the Port end, all in 20 secs! Port then kill the ball from the centre bounce, with numbers at the ball and run down the clock. Game over.

    Ill let you in on a little secret method of enjoying life a lot more...and keeping your heartrate lower.  Stop worrying about the Dees.

    Im sure some will see this as heresy but ...detach. 

    Ive followed our Mighty ( and not so mighty ) Demons for well over 50 years since hitting these shores. There was once a time my whole demeanor...my happiness...my outlook balanced on the fortunes of the Red and Blue.

    And the a lightbulb monent ..not all that many years ago ....they dont matter. Not in a real way. They dont pay my bills ( quite the opposite ) they don't do any work for me, they provide very little real satisfaction (over time ) .... it's just footy... theyre justca club. The one i chose and stick with. Apparently they owe us nothing...and i understand that. In return I follow them. Go to games im interested in... don't clash with something else that will give me pleasure etc ( eg am off to China with family and friends..will miss the Pies..maybe a bar in Beijing...if not...not fussed )

    The real point is....nothing I can do actually affects a change of outcome. I most certainly want us to win. Id love a flag. Not me that will do that.

    So ....Dee-invest of yourselves. Enjoy life.. unshackle yourself emotionally from it...Just....be you....in Red and Blue....or Jeans and a hoody....or fav Tweed jacket lol

    So why worry.....be happy

    Go Dees

    God, i'm gonna miss you Beelzebub........almost like listening to my imaginary psychiatrist.....

    Rance is a d bag of the highest order. Brown takes a good contested mark in first qtr and Rance tries to slam him as hard as he can into turf.

    Don't you know? He's frustrated according to Hamish and his [censored] mates.

    It is refreshing to listen to Fox Footy  as it isn't ad nauseum fluffing of Dusty, Rance and Captain Cotch.

    Umps refusing to award the North forwards blatant free kicks. These are the most frustrating as supporters and Norf fans ain’t happy.

    Haha I’d be frustrated if I was him as well... life couldn’t be so frustrating. 

    Glad the Mothers Day lunch I’ve been cooking is ready and I’ve turned it off.

    He’s had an average few weeks. He’s started to start playing Hollywood style and ignoring the defensive part of the game. Literally stands there and watches opposition run off if he doesn’t get fed the ball on a platter. A mile off his 2016-2017 form.

    Everyone saying North is chit... they are playing a bloody tough brand of footy to get over the top of.

    I am tending towards the theory that the inaccuracy reflects the pressure of the game but I am unable to explain the seeming growth in the level of inaccuracy from set shots other than to suggest that the modern game shares the set shots around a little more than the past where it was dominated by dedicated forwards.

    PS: Of course as I post that Geelong kicks 2 and their goals to behind ratio is not quite as bad

    Is there a player anymore well-treated by umpires than Joel Selwood? The umpires are killing the Pies by gifting Selwood frees

    You know, watching all these replays of the umpire contact, I have been thinking that whilst I don't condone any intentional agressive behaviour towards umpires, the umpires also need to get out of the face of players and out of their personal space a bit.  Thought the May incident was almost accidental and that the Carlton one was more just a natural almost instinctive reaction of someone intruding on another's personal space.  Really don't see why the umpires should have been as close to the players as they are in these instances.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
