    Metricon with four games over the weekend.

    Will be interesting to see how the surface holds up.

    15mm predicted for Sunday and 45-60mm for Monday...lucky that wasn't Saturday and Sunday !

    Cats and Pies for the first two matches

    Say whatever you want about our man Dan but he’s not only leading the tipsters, he also picked 11 winners last week from just 9 games.05C3EF0D-E273-4CDD-8E75-46F2C36F7E79.thumb.jpeg.dc9e108626e2755eebcb29a04116cf02.jpeg

    Never seen a team whinge more to the umpire and beg for frees than the Cats. Actually sickening.

    Cats showing that kicking skills reign supreme. They barely handball, always looking for short kick options.

    Interestingly 4 of the top 5 teams have the lowest play on percentage. They mark, stop and create uncontested marking chains with short kicks.
    Conversely we have the highest play on percentage in the league and are the worst team in the league over the last 18 months. Basically proof our gameplan is completely wrong and we need to slow down and hit a [censored] target.

    9 goals in a row and they were playing ring a ring a rosie against us. They are making the Lions look like pretenders.

    It sound like I've been on the whaky tabaki but if we make the necessary adjustments and clean our foot skills up we arent that far off.

    Remember seeing a stat here last week. The team sitting second on the ladder has not won a game in 2020. The curse continues.

    May be we weren't bad, just Geelong are very good.(i just threw up in my mouth).

    Lions would be much better if they had any decent tall forwards.  Hipwood and McStay are very average.  If you keep Cameron quiet then you go a long way to beating them.

    We have actually played some decent teams to kick off the year.  It's no excuse in terms of our skills and so forth, but I agree that if we can fix up the skills enough then we'll win more than we lose.

    But are skills something that can just be “fixed up” or do skills = say natural ability that can’t be improved?

    I honestly feel like we are the confidence building team. Teams comes up against us, the players in the middle give them enough of a tough run to make them compete hard but our skills and decision making is so bad that the other team ends up getting the win. They go on with confidence and play better, while we continue our trajectory of going nowhere.

    You watch Richmond will hit some form now.

    • 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.
