First time for being in Australia for the Olympics for a while.

I had forgotten how cringeworthingly Aussie centric the FTA commentary can be.

    Isaac Smith would have made a big difference for us this year. Oh well

    Smith turning us down was a bit of a disaster for us IMO. He’s exactly what we need. 25 touches and a goal a week on the non Langdon wing.

    How simple is it to be able to have an option to watch the game on TV/devices with the sounds of the game (crowd when available, and players), but no commentary?

    I’d pay $30 a month for that option. I love the atmosphere, and don’t need anything else.

    Geelong are a good discipline team. Them and Sydney are the benchmark in this aspect.

    Well I'm calling it it will be a Geelong/ Dogs GF judging on last night and todays games?

    Man it’s so hard watching Geelong. They starve the opposition and then counter. They are so constistent and disciplined. 

    clear flag fav imo. This will be 10 wins from the last 11 with Duncan and Cameron to come back in

    There is honestly no weaknesses in their side. Unfortunately I think think they want he flag this year.

    Up to the Giants to salvage the weekend somewhat, Netflix until then.

    You don’t want to play Essendon week 1 finals?

    Assuming we fall out of the Top 4, Essendon would be the side I’d most want to play against. More so than GWS.

    Tigers certainly seem Dusted.

    Nope, not at all interested in playing anyone that finishes 8th a month out from the finish. Certainly won’t be cheering them on the assumption we drop out from the top 4 just to play them. Finish 5th because you think they’re an easy kill, no thanks.

    We can be better than all of these teams, for longer, we just need to get our forward line sorted out and perhaps another outside runner (Bowey?)

  • Quote

    So Essendon will probably get 8th spot because the teams around them keep falling down. Hopefully the giants can produce a miracle and beat them

    just patiently waiting for essendon to win to put a nice little bow on this ****ty weekend.

    The 15 metre kick rule is so unfairly applied across the league. Some teams can kick it 7 metres, and some can’t kick it 25.

    It needs to be addressed in the off season.

    There seem to be times when the umpires just seem to think “that shouldn’t be a mark” and call “no 15” just on a whim.

    Just saw on the news Franklin elbowing an opponent with a wild backward swing - “may get a week if unlucky”.  
    Imagine if one of ours did that - “4-6 weeks”!

    Corruption reigns??

    • 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.
