Tough final five minutes to the term, but we held them relatively well, even if we had a little luck to go with it.

Midfield has been really good so far and I've liked the work of McDonald and Weideman up forward.

Hopefully those last five minutes were nothing more than a blip on the radar.

Fine for me. Though could have done without the getting up at 3.30 am part.

Weid has been good.

Gee Melksham makes a huge difference to our forward line.

Salem playing the backline general well I recon he is the replacement for Lewis.

    Not bad so far.

    Port regained their poise somewhat at the end but we made the most of our opportunities early. Nibbler needs to work on his set shots however.

    Sparrow looks like he belongs.

     

    Some nice work so far. A few cheap turnovers in midfield but we're getting busy. 


    Viney and Petracca not exactly making their presence felt.

    With May to come back, Frost would want to be stepping up.

    No, surely Oscar has to come under scrutiny.  He is rubbish and is ridiculously slow.

    Jones has done some good stuff.  Very much involved in the game.

    Yep, he's actually been really good out on the wing.

    That was pathetic defensive work from O Mac then.  Westhoff should never have marked that.

    Frost is incredibly frustrating

    He was stiff, though.  Ball was called out on the full and then he paid the push in the back.

    Umpiring howler - how can you pay in the back to a ball that has gone out on the full!#!

    Bad call. Soft call. But Jesus Frost is dumb to put his hands on his back for no reason.

    Frustrating

    • 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.
