Really interesting watching this. Hard to tell how we are doing because the Saints are seriously struggling. Ross Lyon has a huge task ahead.

Our general game play, positional strengths and all-ground defence is looking good. Hitting targets across the ground looking good. Our choosing and hitting targets who are 25 - 40 metres out continues to be a work in progress. A bit disappointing.

Chandler, Hunter and McVee very, very  impressive. 

Grundy looking rusty. I am really wanting to see JVR, but TMac and Brown doing everything right.

    Kicking skills.  Will be our most exploited weakness yet again in 2023.

    May has 3 weeks to stop [censored] himself under high kicks. That was awful.

    Pickett’s ball use has been poor. I get he’s keen to impress but he has to take better options and not try to reinvent the wheel

    Lack of two way running now is costing us. I am giving them a break because it’s 900 degrees.

    A few real howlers in the past 3 mins going into half forward from people like Kozzie, Chandler and others.

    If you aren’t seeing May drop his head and spill marks when going back with the flight way too often then you aren’t watching close enough 

     

    Good to see we changed up our forward entries, we go to left pocket....oh wait

    Ground announcing saying 5Q’s to go. That would mean a full game for the Casey lads

    The old 'let's stop playing after we're comfortably ahead' never fails to disappoint! 

    Love how Richo said during the week that this was something the boys had been working on to fix over summer. 

    Let's see it then ey.

    I’ve been sitting comfortably in the shade and I’m finished. 

    If the Saints want to wake up and bust a gut now in this heat them all power to them.

    In any other conditions I’d agree but it’s [censored] hot.

    Saints definitely had the scoring end and we had Oliver at half back, plus a few ordinary turnovers. It’s not all effort

    The commentators keep saying it's 8 periods today, but all the early official info was only 6.  Anyone know whats actually going on?

    Petracca with a set shot early in the 4th. And he....  nails it.   73-38

     

    Kick to hot spot where there was lots of numbers.  ANB had kept his width though.  Ball got out to him who went back to Gus who had drifted forward who dropped it into Trac about 35 out.

    • 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.
