Watching on Kayo.  What is the point !

its 10 minutes behind. Better to listen to the ABC and watc a replay. Absolutely rubbish.  At least last year with Telstra it was only 30 seconds behind

Channel 7 commentary is ghastly 

IT's all the same. Fox and Seven. Just [censored].


Good win by Port in a frenzied final quarter. Great to see Tigers lose again. Sick of them!

Still a good hard game.  
 

tigers abut unlucky perhaps but port played well

Can't decide who helped get Port over the line more....Broad or the Umps.  Actually probably Broad

Watching 7 After phil the Greek died

Dursma did a knee and they were going on about a head injury.

Sure he hit his head but he was lying on the ground holding his knee...

Good game to watch. Port played like it was a GF, they have multiple injuries and many sore boys.  Durrsma ACL? hopefully not

[censored] Jack for missing that goal. I put Dees and Toiges in a double. 

Bitters your here? Thought you would be in mourning after the news of one of your brethren.

That's the best game so far this year in terms of finals like pressure

Not sure we're quite up to that level just yet ... pace was furious and even the best players had no time to release the ball 

End to end, frantic ball movement and about the right amount of goals

Neither team deserved to lose and if Costagna had have been able to get a foot to the ball then the Tiges probably win

Great match!

Are we watching the same game? Yes there are errors but look at the frenetic pace and intensity of the game. 

Yeah, completely agree. I don't think we're anywhere near the standard of those two teams. High intensity and some good team defence on show from both teams.

It'd be interesting to see how we'd handle the tempo of a game like that. I think our midfield is equal to both teams, but the cleanness of the defences and the ability for both sides to get those ground balls off contested situations was very impressive. It looked like we were watching two of the top 4 teams this year IMO. I can't see us breaking into a top 4 consisting of Port, Richmond, Eagles and Bulldogs.

I mostly agree mate, although Port should have won by 3 or 4 goals had they kicked straight.

Agree with your summation AF but we can finish as high as 4th if the cards fall our way ... the inequities of the draw with regards to the double-ups etc etc

15 wins might snag 4th spot but can we win 15 games?  We'll need to not drop games we should win but more importantly, we'll need to split 50/50 or 40/60 against the better teams

For instance, we're good enough to beat the Cats & Hawks so we need to get it done.  5 & 0 after 5 rounds and then the playing group can gain real confidence (yeah I know, one week at a time etc etc but we're just onlookers!)

But tonight's game was on another level ... I totally understand those who highlighted the errors made (and there were many) but the pressure and pace was through the roof.

Not gonna lie, the idea of beating Geelong on Sunday and finishing two games ahead of the Tigers is very sexually arousing.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
