NON MFC: Round 4

Featured Replies

At some point a couple of teams will get their heads straight and rise a whole level above the rest.  Then we'll be watching 10-goal drubbings which are really 100+ point smashings, and just counting down the season to see which one sustains it through the finals.

On the bright side, with so much of the results being even more between the ears than usual, it is possible for just about any team to suddenly start running hot and becoming a late contender.

    Well another night of turning down the sound so as i don't have to listen to Taylor. So bias towards Wobbles.They (umpires) apparently cannot see trips, pushes and throws, just to name a few faults in the second qtr. Never knew there was a new rule of " not high" if Wobbles do that either. GWS stepped up a gear this week and i hope they pummel the mob that could be in a lot of trouble if they aren't careful.

    super congested and contested

    low scoring suits the filth, but it keeps the oppo in the game...see also last year's prelim

    Not a great game...yet again.

    Let's hope they can break the mould in the 2nd half otherwise it looks like a good book and an early night.

    GWS players need to start calling for the ball and not having 2 -3 people go up in a marking contest and spoil each other. 

    DeBoer doing a great job on sidebottom. 

    Come on giants beat the filth.

    Compared to North and Bulldogs this is a free flowing game for the Giants.

    The Cox selection appears wrong but I like watching him

    Gawn v Grundy?? Grundy loves to tap  it straight to the opposition!! 

    The pies are well coached and have improved their kicking skills out of sight, hoping we can do the same!

    But I think Gawn is better then Grundy and Trac way better the degoye

    Actually its a good game. Collingwood back in it,

    Davis doing his hammy is a massive loss for the giants. 

    Greene passing off to Cameron was just stupid. I hope Cameron didn't call for the cheap one out the back to get an easy goal. Greeen should have just gone back and put it through.

    Green has played a huge role in this last quarter to get them over the line with limited TOG as well

    Mummy had the better of Grundy imo (just)...nullified him and squared many contests.

    Might be one of those injuries where it looks worse than it actually is.

    Unfortunately I think it looks as bad as it is...his  leg buckled.

    • 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.
