Oliver's disposal inside 50 has been poor tonight, you're right.

That and always one too many handballs outside 50 when a long kick is the best option.

    Wow, Port ought to be flogged for effort since half time. Some of their chasing and defensive spread has been pathetic. 


    I'm not one to pot the insufficient intent rule, but that call against Gawn was plain incorrect.

    Oliver's game tonight has been a bit millionaire TBH. Everyone but him is just playing efficient forward moving handpass game. He is not on the same page, and we pay the price over and over.

    How do you get deliberate kicking towards your own goal?!

    This game is trash. 

    We haven't played that well at all.

    Just cause I was interested, in 2013 the Roos kept us to 28 points, our lowest score in that period although it was under Neil Craig. Admittedly they kicked 150 points against us but they also weren’t a prelim finalist the prior year. Just for ****z and gigs. 


    We're winning by 50 points having played 12 minutes of entertaining football

    Wow even Viney is doing the head-flick. That's poor, and the kick for goal got what it deserved.

    Still so much improvement in this team and we're undefeated after 4 rounds, beaten two of last year's preliminary finalists and only conceded 1 goal in 3 quarters and 11 minutes. Yet all the media will talk about is Carlton...

    To be fair Carlton's first 45 minutes are fire.

     

    Little cheapy there for Port.

    Think we've played some bruise free stuff this quarter 

    Seriously, was this team actually 2nd on the ladder 5 H&A games ago?

    Hinkley surely cannot survive this.

    • 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.
