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.

    More than you I suspect we are in front 

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
