Selwood getting done for holding the ball is maybe my favorite moment in football each week. Except for when Danger flops and doesn’t get a free. 
 

Port look good. Geelong look old. Can’t run with Port. I’m excited for when they all retire and become Hawthorn 2.0. 

Seriously, every time Selwood is anywhere near the ball, he throws his arms out and looks at his mate the umpire.

So bloody infuriating.

FFS Port. Be better. Turning it over and costing themselves goals. 

Can’t wait for May to take on Hawkins again. Let’s hope he refrains from breaking his face this time.

Port’s backline and defensive efforts are a disgrace. Geelong move the ball slow. To give them so many uncontested masks inside their forward 50 is a joke.

Blitzard was holding Dixon, not the opposite

Ruck frees make no sense. Flip a coin and pick a recipient. 

This game has turned into a steaming [censored]. Port soft and loose. Geelong slow and cheats.

At least we have a watchable game.

Both Dixon and Hawkins being blocked and/or held continually. 

Port are VERY good spreading with ball in hand, but equally as poor when the opposition are spreading forward. Holes everywhere. And they get annihilated one-on-one.

Port let that get away in the last bit of Q2.

We're better than Port and better than Geelong. Our defense will strangle both no dramas

It's crazy watching every other game (even top 4 clashes) going, yeah, we've got both these teams covered no worries.

Defensive efforts from Port is bottom 8 stuff. They tackle hard but gees their spread is poor. They hate it when they don’t have the ball.

Rowan and Martins laugh in and Doghouse are absolute liabilities just cannot play when heat is on cant have soft players in finals

Port have good skills and could cause us some difficulties.  
 

Also that bloke Ollie Wines looks a very very good player.  I wish … you know the rest.  

So many ":what ifs" in this context - would we have got Oliver, Petracca, and last years great trio Kozzie, Jackson, Rivers, if we had called Wines' name?

Port are talented, but clearly like it on their terms.

Geelong are capable but are off the pace with their ageing list.

We could drop games to these two in the home & away season. No chance of doing so come finals though. We've got this!

Port pretty slack in defence - really from mid to HB.

Georgiades - I know it isn't the same guy, but is he related to the guy who sandwiched Jenkins with Viney??

Rozee very selfish again in the third quarter. Took two very poor marginal shots for goal and missed when he had options to go to.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
