So far haven’t seen a team that I can see challenging us.

Nasty nasty knee injury. Port are falling like flies. Not great. 

 

Some ridiculous mistakes in this game. Real howlers

    I dunno. On paper they are so talented but I don’t rate their coach. They’ve had a gun team for so long but something is just NQR. 

    I have it on good authority that s%^t went down badly when Davis was removed as captain in favour of a seconds player.

    This game is a debacle. Horrible horrible skills. 

    Agreed. The difference in quality between this game and the Sydney/GWS game earlier is night and day

    This is a real war of attrition - Port running out of players, but Hinkley is looking totally lost. 


    Fun game to watch tho. Good pressure now from both teams and a tight contest.

    Is the ball made of butter or something?

    Hot and humid in Brissy, round 1, we were dumbly compared to the Dogs too.

    Yep. So you’re just allowed to argue free kicks again with no penalty. 

    They really bring the hate on themselves at times. Seriously why bring in a black and white rule then officiate it with all manner of grey immediately

    I like how Sydney plays a lot. They’re hard and have skilful youngsters. If they can keep their top players on the park this year, they could go deep into finals.

    Yeah I thought they were one of our toughest games last year and with a years improvement into their younger players I think they will be a real danger this season.

    God imagine languishing in the dreaded Sunday time slot in round 1…. What a terrible triple header. 
    Hawks are irrelevant already.

    Definitely. We didn’t win by much from memory. They play like a seasoned team in the attitude they have in that, they don’t seem to drop their heads and they just keep coming at you regardless of the score. Which is pretty impressive considering how young they are.

    based on what i've seen so far this weekend, Norf are warm favourites to finish top 4.

    • REPORT: 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
