Treloar and Varcoe couldn’t get back on the ground at the end. Teams need a coach on the bench directly players to come off. Players not looking over at the end

    Degoey cost them the game all he had to do was turn and kick a goal, not sure what he was thinking

    Roaming Bwyan is more pathetic this year than in 2018. 

    Almost as pathetic as trying to justify assault at a game of footy.

    Well...Matty Lloyd's greatest midfield looked very average tonight.

    To be honest he had to be taking the [censored] with that call.

    Voss, Black, Lappin/Akker/Power/Hart

    Cousins, Kerr, Judd

    What drugs is he on??? makes the case for Swany's call to drug test the media.

    velvet sledgehammer has always been dumb as a velvet-lined box of hammers

    that brisbane midfield six you highlighted - voss, black, lappin, akermanis, power, hart - is better than anything i've ever seen, particularly when clark keating creaked out of his april-august coma just in time for september

    next best group of six would probably be port's around the same time - primus feeding francou, roger james, kornes, josh carr, byron pickett coming from outta nowhere to knock blokes out with hip-and-shoulders, and nick stevens before he went to carlton cos they refused to trade him to the filth...and this doesn't even count the two burgoynes they had running around at the same time

    really hoping our current crop - max giving silver service to oliver, brayshaw, harmes, viney, jones, petracca and salem - can be our golden age of mids

    Not sure what to read into this.

    Is Geelong better than people thought?

    Is Collingwood worse than people thought?

    If I had to pick one, I'd pick the latter.

    Let's see how they go this year with a tougher draw. They had a breezy fixture last season that was frankly ridiculous.

    As for Treloar, he's still an absolute butcher by foot and I reckon he showed a distinctly soft side tonight. I hope our boys were watching that and get into him when we come up against them.

    Well said and as much as I dislike them the Eagles midfield of the mid noughties was something special to watch and probably third in line

    Cox(better than Primus and Keating and far more mobile) Cousins, Judd, Kerr, Embley, Banfield Braun and Fletcher

    Good to see the wobbles are here to stay. Won't win the premiership with the average midfield and small forward line they have. De Goey has to be the most overrated player in the comp.

    Jones, Harmes, Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Brayshaw. It's better than the pies. Treloar is Mr.Invisible, Beams has past it and Pendlebury is finished, I see a slide going on for the Pies fingers crossed.

    Moon.  I am surprised that you are not too embarrassed to admit watching him.

    Not a popular viewpoint but I felt a touch of sadness for the pies last night.

    They fought the good fight. Nice cameo from Jeremy Howe. His game ending score assist was a lovely moment for many a dees fan.

    Glad that Collingwood got their season off to the right sort of start.  Goes well with the below good article from The Duck, which I actually think has some relivance to our season as well (though not as much so according to the man himself):

    Gotta love Ablett playing forward. No longer does the mercurial and exerts zero pressure.

    Gotta be his last year

    I thought Ablett was fantastic last night. Petracca could learn a few things from him!!

    Club culture.

    Look who’s left in recent years and they’re still going.

    At least this Adelaide performance is making me feel a little better. 

    Fair to say it’s a good day to be a Port fan.

    Good to see the current AFL ladder showing Collingwood and Carlton in the bottom two. 

    Not for long ???

    4 games 2 knee reconstructions.....maybe we got lucky. In an uncanny twist, (pun intentional) the Adelaide player Tom Doedee was the one they used to replace Lever.

    Now, what were those Crows fans saying last year........

    All.the favourites struggled this weekend. Tigers just held the Blues at bay, while us, the Pies and Adelaide all lost very winnable games.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
