Good question, they were 11-4 and will miss.

Thats a massive choke.  Ollie Wines re-signed at that stage too if I recall correctly.

Should have come back to Vic.

    Wattsy starring with 3 handballs at quarter time.

    Big improvement on his stats halfway through the quarter though.

    Does the AFL hire police for matches? They're even waiting outside the coaches box to escort the coaches to the ground!

    Didn't realise you could hire out a copper.

    I'm guessing that the 250 point win Port needed to pass is on percentage is less likely to happen now.

    My god can someone tell port that they can be 8th spot tonight? 

    Thankgod the bummers can't make finals. 

    This is a disgraceful strat from port. 

    I wanted them in 8th so at least geelong had to earn there spot. 

    I know the cats won't lose but it would have made it kind of interesting.

    So looks like we would have made finals regardless of a win? And to think port were 11-4 at round 16...

    Jack Watts has been abysmal so far.

    The only one for Port who hasn't would be Ryder.

    Port look like a defeated rabble. Not even trying.

    So let me clear this in my head, Essendon pantsing Port means that in the end, we didn't actually need to win a game to make the finals anyway?

    Well, I've had a dry chuckle about that.

    But, as my lovely other half so perfectly put it "Well, ok, but this way is much nicer".

    This Port Adelaide teams smells like the team Voss had in Brisbane, when they went and got Fevola, Staker, Raines etc for [censored] all return and ultimately Voss lost his Job.

    Hinkley and co have misread this list massively and its going to set them back years of lost talent due to recruiting dud recycled players.

    Guess it looks like Kenny asked for Vossy's advice and trusted his assistant too the silly fool.

    And to think some posters on here still think Watts would still play an important role for us right now...

    He'll be delisted end of next year.

    What is it with umpires paying random half-marks at Adelaide Oval in Port games?

  • Quote

    Bit reminiscent of Melbourne vs Collingwood in the final round last year.

    We won a spot in the finals before getting it handed to us. How could you not love that?

    Port players are ignoring Watts at every turn now just like Melbourne players did.

    Watching this game between the 9th and 10th best team, we are clearly a top 8 side. Melbourne's footy is streets ahead of what these teams are producing.

    There is great joy in watching two arrogant clubs which tried to bulk-buy their way into finals each taking turns at being thoroughly crapulent.

    • 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.
