I think these are good sound decisions so far.

I will be interested to see how we are looking to cover the ruck situation and if we structure the list to cover the position in the short to medium term. Getting Preuss would make life easier for next season and I could see us looking at a couple of young possible rucks to develop.

    The two talls just didn’t get lift off at VFL level and Pat McKenna was unlucky with injury but it’s difficult to persist with players who don’t show signs of advancing after four years in the system.

    I’m looking forward to see what our recruiters can achieve given the limited draft position we are currently in.

    Have heard that JKH and Tim Smith have signed new 1 year deals and Keilty elevated to the senior list.

    Heard anything on Dion Johnstone DD?

    I liked the analogy someone used last week along the lines of if you would not select them in the draft knowing what we know now let them go.

    Pedo has been a great servant, I hope he is picked up by Casey and Tommy never got back from his brain fade; a real pity for him but he may well wind up at the Blues

    AVB and JKH are surely getting new deals. Kent might want to leave. 

    Would not offer JKH a contract at all Not up to it Kent … well tenuously hanging on and injury prone!! . Not unhappy if both go!

    • 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.
