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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
