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

Mick Malthouse disagrees 

 

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: 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.
