    I’m massively disappointed in Kozzie for breaking the COVID rules, given the length of tie between matches you’d think players would be extra careful. 

    I’m hoping that Bedford is the one the bring in for him but I could see ANB being preferred with  some more runs on the board. Both had pretty poor games vs WC. 

    Can’t see it happening but maybe as another option AvB, sounded like he and Bennell were at similar stages but it’d be a risk to have two debutants and two players who’ve barely played footy in the last 18-24 months.

    Should also be suspended for a week for not using proper hygiene protocols.

    Understand players are not robots  but do we still have a lack of strong culture or leaders within our club??

    Will we have special dispensation to bring someone in that’s outside the listed 26?

    Say O Mac who could release Smith as a forward or Lockhart who could potentially play as a small forward?

    I was thinking why not play Vanders. He's in our best 22 and can play forward or midfield.

    He’d had a good pre-season before the broken foot as well. Personally I’d be happy but would we be taking too big a risk with two newbs and two returning from long term injuries?

    Wouldn't be surprised to see Oscar in and Harmes back up the ground...

    ...but ANB has just been named in the 22.

    I hope not. Kossie is just a kid. He will learn from it and is probably devastated to not only miss the game but also Nev’s 150! Don’t like the ANB in, would have preferred Bedford or Lockhart. I thought Locky played well in round 1 and Bedford showed glimpses especially in the last quarter as he came to grips with the tempo.

    Disappointed to see ANB in the side would prefer Bedford. I can see Hunt and ANB making way for Kossie and Vanders next week.

    I hope Goody takes ANB aside and makes it clear to him that this is a lucky occurrence, he should not be in the team based on the WC game he's been given this lucky shot to prove himself. I'd be telling him there are a bunch of players chomping at the bit to get out there, so make it hard on the selection committee to not pick him.

    Who plays on the tall Blue forwards? Casboult, McKay and McGovern.  May and ... ??? 
    Lever is best as a 3rd defender to intercept and not in a key post. Joel Smith also undersized imo

    Lever is 195cm and Smith plays about 2m can jump over tall buildings if he doesn’t get hurt!

    Luke Jackson to play as a defender tomorrow.

    Sauce - Gerard Healy who know Jones well.

    My question is why not just play O Mac on one of Casboult, McKay or McGovern?

    • 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.
