         Hawkins what a fair player he is . If he's not hitting, pushing or holding people behind the play, he's trying to drive them into the ground or accidentally put his elbow or forearm into no particular part of any body and I would hate to have a sob like him playing  for us..

    Why does Port get 15 days off

    We get 14 days off.  Shouldn't make any difference to either team.

    That was a bog ordinary game. 

    Objectively we are a much better side than Geelong and should win if we can avoid a run of goals like last time.

    Nonetheless I’ll be having nightmares all week.

    Well if we win the prelimin then we get the extra day break heading into the GF.

    Riddle me that. 

    Because the AFL wants every team to get a 7-day break in finals, there is bugger all difference between a 13 and a 15 day break and we got the easier of the qualifying final match-ups. If we can’t roll Geelong we don’t deserve to win.

    If we end up playing Port in the GF we will have both hosted games against the Cats and Lions to get there so same same. And you could argue we have a bigger advantage vs Geelong given the rest week.

    Plus we’ll get an extra day before the GF if we make it.

    Are you serious?

    There's no meaningful difference between 13 days and 15 days off. They're obviously going to give Geelong and the Dogs/Lions winner 7 days each rather than give Geelong 8 days but Dogs/Lions 6 days.

    And Port gets the "lower ranked" finals team in the prelim because they already had to beat the higher ranked finals team in their QF.

    Are you seriously complaining about this?

    Gives us the extra day off if we win before the Grand Final. We also beat the lower ranked team last week so a cross over has to happen.

    We got this folks

    I believe we can cover the Cats players, it’s the guys in yellow that really me on tonight’s performance. Not totally sure we can cover all of them.

    No goals by Giants until about 10 mins into the 2nd quarter will kill a team every time.

    We must come out with huge pressure from the start next week.

    The Giants had 2 players with less than 5 games played tonight. They have a mammoth injury list. 
    Cats were almost full squad. Danger can’t play with a tag. 

    Cats had 3-4 goals from pretty soft frees.

    I reckon Hawk will carry that cork into next week so time for May to get even.

    Given our last PF performance, I’m sure Goody and the playing group will come out breathing fire to make amends for it.

    Might just be time to review that game after all, Goody. Get the boys angry and pumped.

    At least 2 of Hawkins' goals were blatant frees against. Huge push in back and 'dont argue' to the face.

    Who were the umps tonight? They can [censored] right off till 2022

    Large number of our 22 didn't play in that game. No longer needed imo.

    Half the team will say about half the side in red and blue, "who are these doofuses and who let them onto a footy field?"

    Just consign that match to the history books and never look back.

    You challenge the best to be the best.

    It's as simple as that.

    We've had our break, now its time to crush these mofo's into submission. 

    No excuses or theories about 13 day vs 15 day break we just pulverise these [censored] into oblivion.

    It's a prelim final.
    They've been thinking about this month all year.
    They'll be ready to eat lightning and crap thunder.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
