If Port and GWS are serious their coaches should be sacked by tomorrow evening.  
Hinkley is in his tenth season as coach and Cameron in his ninth. Their teams respective efforts over the weekend when taking into consideration their exit from last years season as well as their opponents speaks volumes.

    For Port, are they now broken mentally after all the prelim loses and the smashing last year.

    one of the worst umpiring decisions you'll ever see. Never in a million years was that a dump tackle. hopefully won;t impact the result

    I said it last year watching the Game, Port absolutely [censored] the bed in that home Preliminary. Last night just makes it worse. 
    no one will fear them in Adelaide this year

    Well the Perth teams being putrid is certainly a good thing for our chances to keep Jackson long term. 
    Wanna go sit at the bottom half of the ladder for the next 5 years or want to win flags?

    A very talented list with really no guts. Very soft under any sort of pressure. 

    This could equally be referring to Port / Hinkley, or GW$ / Cameron.

    Good point, based on this match Jacko wouldn’t be playing finals for a while if he turned purple

    Same old story with Port. When the whips are cracking, too much is left to too few. Boak, Wines & Robbie Gray. And Gray's body is failing him. The likes of Rozee, Duursma & Butters are often lauded but until they become genuine contested midfielders, they'll remain icing on a crumbly cake.

    My footy tips also hate Freo

    April is going to be a very interesting month of Football.  A few side with Top 4 aspirations and a couple more to make the 8 could find their season over if they can't find some wins.  Bulldogs, Port, Essendon, GWS would not have expected to be winless after 2 rounds.

    I think they were broken before that, last season before they beat the Bulldogs in rd 23 they hadn’t beaten a top 8 side. I’m of the belief that both coaches have lost their players. I don’t want to sound arrogant but the only team that stands between us going back to back is the Swans.

    • 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.
