As though he needs the money! Eddie McGuire would never tip against Collingwood even if it was $100K: it simply sends the wrong message!

Gary Lyon isn’t the president or have anything to do with us though. Just another media guy.

sorry didn’t see your post werridee

    Our biggest challenge this season.

    Port coming off a confidence boosting win and most of their best players finding form.

    We can win, but only if our mob brings its A game to all facets of the match.

    Contested possession count and intensity need to go through the roof, and, somehow, our defence must find a way to cover Port's attack. We need to shut down Port particularly in the first half and try and negate their scoring options. Gawn and the midfield need to be all over Port from the first bounce.  

    Can we negate Ports scoring options and at the same time maximize our scoring options?

    It will certainly test our recovery and fitness as we need to be able to run and compete all night. 

    A season defining match. 

    If we lose this, we pretty much can only afford a loss to WCE and Geelong right, and therefore must be Radelaide, Swans, Freo etc etc

    Don't think it is that crucial. I still believe we can win 14 games. That means we have to win 6 out of the next 10 games. The hardest is Sydney and then weagles. I believe we can beat port ( and should ) but it isn't season defining.

    ''

    FORMER Melbourne players Jack Watts and Jack Trengove have missed out on recalls for Port Adelaide's clash against the Demons.

    Watts and Trengove had big games for Port's SANFL side last Sunday and this was the first chance to play against Melbourne after switching clubs late last year.

    But Power coach Ken Hinkley has confirmed their only change will be Jack Hombsch making way for in-form defender Tom Jonas, who is back from a hamstring injury.''

    Constructive comment, hyperbole on my part.

    At the same time, another "Pie like loss" will be hard to recover from and the pressure following Port will mount.

    We need to return to form for Port and then maintain the winning feeling.

    So, Hinkley has effectively named his team several hours ahead of the AFL's embargo release time of 6:30pm...?  Interesting.

    I'm actually more confident of beating Port than I was of beating the Pies. 

    Just a few moments before the teams are announced, I agree that we must have confidence in beating Port. After the bye, we should come out fully refreshed, ready to maul any opposition and so do with aplomb! It might seem as if we have an indefensible, tall forward line and some really stoic defenders keen to elevate the criticism of the past fortnight. We seem to have been working heavily in training on our clearance routines, according to other posters who can get to training sessions, with fresh but manageable new roles and structures. If we play Vince and Lewis in the one team, we may struggle; if we bring in a newbie, well and good. We have the goods and the capability to cream Port - or even just fight like hell to win. It is going to be a great match.

    Crumbs!  Is that all??  How are we expected to win with only three players??

    Would the players who travelled but don't play fly back Friday night or Saturday morning to play for Casey?

    Think Port will be too strong at home

    If it was at the G I’d tip us 

    Think you’ve got it the wrong way around.

    We’re 2 from 6 at the MCG.

    But we’re 6 from 6 away from the G.

    Not sure it’s a good thing, but makes tipping easier!

    In the wonderful Russian city of Kazan at present ... just thought I should mention they have a Hemingway restaurant. Might try it though I can never recall Hemingway getting this far east !!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • 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?
