Adelaide is such a B-grade city and TV market

How is the boundary rider...!?!

Was my next-door neighbour when I was in high school playing footy. Absolute top bloke.*

    Can they just thrown Harmes onto Boak for the second half? He's not done much, so may as well cancel Boak.

    Perhaps you are too young to have seen Fitzroy's last game v Adelaide. Benchmark. 

    Go Dees

    Oh I still remember that. That was a dark day in Australian Rules.

    They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

    Yep. They've been poor in general. Both sides copping the short end of the stick.

    If we win, the winning margin will be worth double of what it is purely because we’re not only playing another team, we’re playing against the deplorable umpiring as well.

    ANB and Harmes very disappointing

    AnB having a nightmare of a game. He is literally a detriment right now.

    i like Ben Brown being in the side he is not getting a lot of the ball but is sucking up a lot of attention, that gives our other forwards a chance to get into the game.

    Agree whole heartedly.

    but just to be fair, 13 guys in the team (not including medi sub) have had the ball less than BB 

    Oliver on track for forty touches? with 20 already.

    And his first halves tend to be slower.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    I don't mind the booing because it means we have the ball. 

    Ugh I was saying no late goals before the siren. 

    Petty magnificent so bar. His ball use has been great. 

    Trac had a great 1st half. 

    Pickett getting into the game. yeah that last 50 was there. If alir had touched it the ump would have said play on. No different ot eh fritta one. 

    I like what Ben Brown is doing. He's providing a contest and taking ports best backman from the others. 

    We are playing so much better than last week. We aren't over handpassing it and playing on at all costs. Love it. 

    Come on dees keep it going.

    Great start.

    Port are getting very few clean looks. 

    BBB has yet to hit the scoreboard, but he’s undoubtedly straightened us up. If he can jag one or two, he can say he’s done his job.

    Clearances have improved out of sight.

    I hope Ed has gleaned what our mindset is. If we go in knowing our foot is on the neck and it’s time to move in for the kill, we should win.

    Would like more from Fritta, ANB, Viney and Harmes

    Yes our stars are playing well but let's help them out a bit 

    Would like less from Harmes. Every time he touches the footy it ends up in Port Adelaide hands. Reverse King Midas.

    Start supporting the MFC

    Really want to see Oliver kick 2 or 3 goals in 2nd half. Nothing better than an A grade mid who hits the scoreboard

    Good thing his only had 3 touches.
     

    Not even half as many as Ben Brown

    I’m usually reluctant to bag the umpires. I rarely do it. But this is off the charts terrible umpiring. 

    The connection between Gawn , Trac and Clarry is good tonight and Brown balances out the forward line much better.

    We also started better this week and those were the three things we wanted to improve on.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
