A Port win keeps us in touch with the top 2 and a home final + double chance (thinking big)

A Tigers win leaves Port with 6 wins after 11 games and gives us a two game buffer inside the 8.

 

Edit - We already  have a 2 game buffer inside the 8 even if Port wins.  But it will give us more breathing space.

    If we just keep on winning, everything else doesn't matter.

    You need to update your interests, no longer just 'trade breaking'.

    Hoping T.Boak has a big one...SC self interest.

    But we won't so analysing the pros and cons of who we want to win is a valid exercise.

    On the assumption that Tigers are a definite top 4 which is widely agreed a Port loss is our best outcome as it gives us just that extra little buffer in making the 8..

    Any word on Spargo joining Dusty in NZ for a rest?

    I’ve heard whispers that Spargo was inside Dusty’s backpack that he took onto the plane.

    Hope it’s not United Airlines.

    Private airline. Dusty’s old man needed some ‘packages’ bought over.

    Just as long as the 'packages' are in the 'prison wallet' and Spargo isn't.

    You could fit one and a half Charlie Spargos in there.

    I realise that Dustin Martin is out but who else is out to cause Richmond to be $2 plus underdogs.

    Pardon my ignorance but I've been travelling

    thanks

    Prestia, Houli and Rioli. Still though Tigers should be clear favourites.

    One on one king 0-1. 

    Edit: 0-2.

    Dusty out means Port will roll them and prance around like millionaires, claiming they are Top 4 material.  Puke.

    Neither of these teams is very good. I'd back us to beat Port and Richmond (at AO at least, not that we'll play them there) handily.

    Fritsch for Watts is the biggest upgrade of two players I can remember.

    Jack Watts reached his career peak on QB last year. All downhill from there.

    • 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.
