Actually I think everything he has done tonight has been OK. All his disposals have been clean and have gone to a player in a better position. Not a game changing performance by any means but not woeful. 

I've lost count how many times thats been said about him over the journey.

Hes a 171 game veteran, and yet still plays like a 2nd year player.

 

Bombers massively overrated by media. Have had a charmed run meeting injury depleted sides for their “best wins”. GWS, WCE, Port, even Sydney were missing plenty. Not to mention Richmond last week. Ladder absolutely reflects where they are at.

Cameron Ling writing us off in the finals due to lack of experience, and the Cats can go deep in September but hes not being biased he said.....

Well he has gone to the "Channel 7 finishing school" to be able to come out with waffle like that. Biased my foot. Stupid, stupid comment only outdone by his looks.

He was also one of the lowest ranked players on the field. His career is running on fumes now unfortunately. This will be his last contract.

Stress free Non -MFC games this weekend.

Wish List: 

Freo way to go

Hit ‘em real hard send ‘em down below

Potting Watts, Motlop and Rockliff is barking up the wrong tree

Port have a massive cultural issue with the likes of Wingard, Gray, Westhoff and Dixon

Selfish footballers who never, ever involve teammates

It might be Watts' last contract, ever, but Hinkley needs to take charge now or he'll be gone too

With Ports loss we are now guaranteed to play in September. Well done boys. 

Say what???

Port could have won by 40 goals and they still wouldn't have made it. 

Geelong were the only ones with any interest in that game and I doubt they were even watching. 

So it turns out our drought-breaking, finals-securing win was the 90+ point win over Gold Coast two weeks ago. Sure didn't feel like it at the time.

Imagine we lost last week and tomorrow, most likely 4 teams would miss finals on %. Crazy year!

You obviously didn't notice Westhoff mark 30 out on an angle, but clearly gettable, pass to Ryder straight in front, but a bit further out.

Westhoff had 5 goals at the time and that would have been number 6 for him.

Great to see Melbourne supporters attempting poetry first thing in the morning.........you just know the teams doin ok when that starts happening.  :)

 

The Hoff and Robbie Gray are two of the most unselfish and brilliant players in the competition

Westhoff in particular is severely underrated everywhere outside of Alberton

Port’s midfield is very one-paced outside of Polec - and it looks like he’s definitely on his way to North for their first round pick, which they are desperate to get rid of so that they aren’t forced to pay ‘overs’ for Tarryn Thomas

Goddard - anyone?  It’s not beyond reality. He is still very good. 

As our runner. He'd be great at delivering the messages. 


Goddard to maybe the Blues or GC,  but nowhere else IMO.

Oh well BJ won't get to star in his premiership movie he said would be written after the drugs saga.

Hird can now stop predicting essendon can win the premiership.

No, I only watched snippets of the yawn fest

My post is based on long term observations and actions, not one incident

Posters are bagging out Watts, et al, but their cultural issues run deep

Ports mid-field was seriously exposed. 

With Leuenberger off the field, Ryder should have had a field day with Stringer as his opposing ruck.  But there was no-one to hit it to.  Incredible. 

Ollie Wines not sighted for most of the match.  Wingard doing anything but kick the ball.  Gray looking for the season to end.  If it wasn't for Westhoff kicking 5 the result would have been very, very ugly......and we don't want to give the drug cheats that much hope for next season.

Incorrect. Geelong is likely to win, therefore if Port were to win by 150 and we were to lose by 150, they'd have come in for us. It went right down to the wire.

OK you got me there Prada....  But I think it would have to be closer to dare I say it 186 each way lol. 

Our +/- is over 500, Ports is just over 100!

Freo, please show some pride and avenge last weeks woeful performance. 

Nobody, I repeat nobody, wants the Pies to finish top 4 and everyone wants Melbourne to steal 4th spot from them.

  • 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.
