May seem like a stretch but I'm in desperate need of two additional AFL Members barcodes. Have a bunch of people in from interstate and have used up mine plus all family and friends, and want to avoid slugging them for a guest pass.

Anyone have a spare barcode they won't be using that I can reserve some seats with?

    I am of the opinion we will make a bit of a statement in this game and have an easy win...

    If Gawn gives silver service to our mids, good luck with the run on the outside Saints.

    I also have the same feeling. But mind you, I also had the same feeling going into the Bombers game.

    I feel better knowing Lewis is playing, to give guidance to the youngsters. Sometimes experience is not recognized for its great worth.

    I hope that the selectors just pick the best side for the Saints game on Saturday and then sit down and do exactly the same thing a couple of days later for the Tiges match. 

    We need to win the games one at a time. Pick the best side available and then after that match is over assess the players and their condition and pick the best side available for the next game.

    That's simple, but it assumes the teams we are playing are identical.  I'd prefer sides which was most likely to win each game. Extra runners or talls etc depending on the strength and weakness of the opponent.  Obviously that needs to be done without too much disruption.

    Sue, maybe I should have made it a little clearer. I thought that my first sentence made it clear that we would be selecting the best team available for the different circumstances given the differences between the Saints and Tiges.

    Disappointed that Garlett or Lockhart didn’t get a look in.

    Stretch will never make it if he isn’t given some time in the seniors.

    Love the changes, though would liked to have seen one of Garlett or Lockhart in.    Yeah we look short down back, but T Mac can go down there in case of emergency.  Not like hes doing anything up forward.

    A big vote FD.  VERY early days but Hore is already tracking (statistically) at 16% above Oscar's average output last season and 53% higher than Oscar's 2019 season averages in his 2 games so far.

    • 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.
