Although I hate Essendon its probably a better result if they win. Ideally Sydney will be out of contention by the time we play them.

    Buddy is a strange bird. Rarely takes a one grab mark. It's like he wants to tap it forward in the marking contest to grab it second time

    Ridiculous that wasn't a free to Hurley

    Would have been ridiculous were the opponent not Buddy

    And for the second time tonight Hurley looked as if he was about to burst into tears.

    Can't ever like Essendon winning, but it suits me just fine if Sydney get the late-season stumbles.

    We'll beat the Swans on our day, on pure merit whatever the circumstances, but for the comfort of it I'd like to have a couple of indicators in advance that we'll crush them completely and I wont have to stress too much.

    How good is Mc-Tip? Great to watch

    Cameron Ling is so painful. Thanks God he was smart enough to realise he wasn’t up to coaching

    Wasn’t that a slam tackle by Parish?   Ball free already, and victim’s head slammed into the turf. No comment on ABC radio. Anything said on TV?

    All legal according to Ling. “ One motion BT, one motion”. 

    They are everyone’s second team again.

    Not Christian like, but will Christian like?   My get he will like especially if Bummers win.

    So you can bang an opponents head into the ground if it is in one action?

    With Sydney's downturn in form, this draw is opening up for us slightly. Win tomorrow and we're still in it up to our necks.

    That was a Luke Tapscott special from Haywood on the boundary line. A kick like that out on the full ended Tapscott's career.

    Tapscott was a poor footballer - way too top heavy

    Sydney getting peeled apart by ordinary sides 2 weeks in a row

    They're a massive risk of falling out of the 8

    I'd be shocked if we don't smash them based on how they're playing. Just gotta take care of Adelaide first.

    Essendon's 3 so-called big name recruits have shows a bit this year. Stringer, Saad and D Smith.

    Port Adelaide's scattergun recruits have done little this year. Watts, Rockcliff, Thomas, Trenners and Dom Barry.

    • 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.
