    I about to post that too.

    Constantly diving instead of trying to run through and pick the ball up (Like he used to),  Something wrong with his back and he can't bend?

    Either of these two sides would make worthy runners up this year.

    Neither of them can defend around the ground.

    Frustrating part is a lot of the bad calls made so far this year, the umpires have been in a position to see what has happened and still made the wrong call. 
    Also would love some consistency on players getting caught with the ball then just dropping it cold.

    Excellent result.

    Brisbane are probably the second best side in the league so any loss by them is a bonus.

    i actually don't think they are; they've shown that they win at home and they play well when the game is on their terms, but when it tightens up  they can't quite get it done

    their fixture should help them to top 4, but i don't see them as a threat away from the gabba

    I counted 4 ridiculous umpiring decisions in the last quarter that went to girlong. Just pathetic it was. That Hawkins push really got to me.

    The holding the ball rule did not exist tonight. 

    I thought Mitch Robinson did a few errors in that final quarter. Should have kicked it to Daniher a lot quicker in the final few minutes. also botched a few kicks. 

    But hey we are still sitting pretty on top.

    2nd best based on what? The three teams they’ve beaten this year have so far have zero wins combined.

    Unbelievably biased umpiring at the crucial moments in the last. Hawkins ffs. BT raising his voice in adulation of all things Geelong when they’re in possession. All sadly in accordance with their expectations and, dare I suggest, the script.

    Tonight speaks more about Brisbane then Geelong.

    The fact Brisbane still couldn't beat Geelong without Selwood and Stewart is why I questioned that at the start of the year whether they could win the flag.

    If they can't even perform at the Gabba come finals how will they perform at the MCG in front of 90k come September. 

    These are the games they should have easily mopped up if they want to be a genuine contender.

    Cam Rayner for me is a little overrated imo

    They have 2 glaring issues which they haven’t fixed 

    1- they are incredibly slow through the middle so struggle to cover the ground to defend 

    2- they don’t like pressure

    • 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.
