With all due respect to the Gold Coast Suns and Tony Cochring, if you're delisting a player like Jarryd Lyons, you can't be given a priority pick.

Yep and further this kid was on Melbourne Radar and we inexplicably overlooked him! His Dad was Marty Lyons whose first game of AFL VS Hawks netted him 4 goals I think on debut! Kid can play!

    Great to see Stefan Martin give a great performance in the ruck. Though he had less than average opposition as Geelong rely on Dangerfield and Co to win the clearances the hard way he changed his game up in the last 15 minutes in the stop start finale. He mixed it up beautifully with great tap work, out muscling his opponents and powerful knock ons to give his players the advantage to charge back from 18 points down. GAWN TAKE NOTE!  Also where once he was labeled as being a bit soft, he is now a tackling machine and 15 of his 16 possessions were contested. Fagan has turned  him into an awesome weapon.

    Derwayne is out of control with Carlton love today.

    I saw the last 10 or so minutes of this match and was disgusted by the pro Carlton commentary.

    I still can't understand that we let Howe go.  I get he held out for more coin wanted to play mote time forward etc but he was coming on nicely and just maturing.  Who cares just find the $.  Couldve freed up some cap by delisting the likes of O-Mac & ANB etc.

    We put so much work in then let him wander down the road to star and sure up the Pies backline.

    Great X factor mark/intercept player and we have very few now who can muster a contested mark.

    Crazy club that just doesn't get it in so many ways.

    I am more disgusted with their desire to win unlike us.

    Why would you hang on to an intercept defender when you can give up two first rounders for one with bad knees?

    @Rusty Nails - 'Mate'  - it's never the club as a whole per se  - it's individuals decision making at the time... it's a fallacy to mix the two.

    Im pretty sure it was more of him wanting to leave and get success somewhere else. He grew up a pies supporter and remember bucks promised to play him forward. The day he went to collingwood he went on and on how excited he was to play for the club he grew up barracking for and his family were rapt. Nothing would have kept him.

    In his last couple of seasons with us he played like he didn’t give a Faarque anyway. Would have fitted in nicely in our yesterday’s side. He was a lost cause.

    Well, after enduring (half) a gut-wrenching game last night, had the pleasure of a family outing to the G today. Very impressed with how both sides went about it. Ratten had the Saints clearance machine purring and their ball movement was good too. Carlton’s big men just that bit better, so they got the chocolates.

    We were deplorable last night with nothing much to play for, no excuse I know but what is going on with Port? Really struggling to get a score on the board. God help us next week in Hobart!

    To be fair, I think he had a man crush on Figgy and the Chins.

    Don't worry, we have a new found backman       Mr Spargo. He can play on him.

    If teams around the 8 keep losing their could be a team in the 8 with 10 wins and 12 losses!

    bombers in the 8 even if they lose both now. Most likely

    Crows can find themselves back in 8th if Port keep this rubbish up. They’ve already lost 4%.

    Two years ago, every conceivable result conspired against us to ensure we missed finals. 

    This year, every conceivable result has conspired to ensure Essendon make the finals. 

    [censored] get me the vomit bag.

    • 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.
