    Not enough injuries.

    Glad we dodged the Port bullet.

    Totally unfair to have teams have no Home Ground advantage but QLD and SA teams do. Should have both Prelims in Perth / especially since GF will be there.

    That man is not a real bad substitute 

    Yes, Powell-Pepper came on and executed very well. However, need to keep it in perspective. At that stage of the game Geelong were cooked, it was like stealing candy from a baby stout from a pensioner.

    Cry me a river [censored]-cats... Seriously though, talk about creating a culture of failure. A supposedly star-studded team once again fails miserably to look convincing in the finals series, despite their awful "track-record" of gaining frees incessantly, and for an illegitimate reasons...

     

     

    …. and getting away with at least a dozen throws a game.

    But the “star of the game GW$ / Sydney / Geeling  finals exemption”  would be invoked

    Aside from Duncan getting touches on HB, the Cats were horrible! Selwood ineffectual with 17. Danger average. Henderson with one of the worst ever games I’ve seen. 

    should have been an 80 point win but for the umps going 20-8 before evening it up and Port being inaccurate 

    what a beautiful thing. 

    Port are good. High pressure, good contested ball with quality outside run. We will have to beat them to win the flag and I think we will

    strange game last night...

    Geelong key forwards miss several easy shots and Fantasia and Motlop kick seven odd goals between them.

    Hopefully Spargo and Harmes do the same for us tonight not to mention Daniher kicking 4 behinds.

    Cats to play Swans or Giants who have both accounted for Geelong this year.

    They were lucky the umps stopped them being blown away.

    Quite possible out next week.

    Morning footy news check - done.

     A few comments while reading through Demonland - check.

    2 hours of meditative relaxing via mowing, weeding, sweeping - check.

    Cheese platter purchased for tonight's game - check (yep, we decided to do it to shove it right up all the "to-the-snow-in-September" trolls)

    My dearly departed dad was a mad Swannies man, so I sit down to watch them take on gws - AND IT DOESN'T START UNTIL 3.30PM!! I hate all the pre-game drivel. So with coffee in hand, Demonland up and active, I now have to listen to Cameron Ling for an hour! At least Daisy is good to listen to.

    The old adage a weeks a long time in footy...

    Cats were almost eight goals up at home with a minor premiership in their sight but now they face gws or swans who have both beaten them.

    I find re-watching the final 47 seconds of last weeks game is a great way to kill time

    I still believe that Port have a soft underbelly. They have some pretend tough guys. If we play them at some stage I think we should target Butters and Roezee physically. We are better than them!

    This will be a great game.

    Giants to pinch it by a goal.

    Toby a day out.

    Is Hogan playing?

    Sure is…in his first final.

    Hoping for a GWS win. Sydney worry me more than them

    Are there crowd limits in Tassy? Doesn't look like a full house. Far from it actually

    • 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.
