Just watching a bit of the '66 SANFL grand final when our game was called Aussie rules. How sad the pale imitation AFL is in this era. Behold the passion of the SA crowd, the intensity of the opening exchanges and the magnificent hulk, John Tilbrook. If only we had preserved the state codes in that form with perhaps a championship of Australia to be played at the end of state GF week. The drop kick would be returned with 9 pointers on offer for goals outside the 50 metre arc. State teams could be composed of 9 players from each GF team. Week 1 would be a qualifier betw. SA and WA states and the final played the following week on the MCG versus The Big V. The Australian cricket captain could toss the coin. The rugby states could play the two curtain raisers.

Wait, it's Saturday morning in June 2020 and football is on again this afternoon.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
