Not one mention of Lachie Hunter. Sorry but these guys are just clueless Port Supporters who have been paying no attention at all

    Agreed... and then they admitted they hadn't seen much of our preseason!  At least do some research to give yourself half a chance of saying something interesting

    Nothing too insightful here.  It’s from the outside looking in. Not quite the “inner sanctum”.  I had more informed conversations with mates over beers at the cricket club on Saturday night.  Dees will be in the premiership window and it depends on injuries, strategies and how other clubs excel. 
     

    Hamish was very informed and has some comments around structure, and his insight on JVR was acknowledged.  
     

    ps. JJ saying “you know” every second sentence was annoying !!

    ‘In her rectum’ would be a more appropriate pronunciation of their name….

    They seem to have read the dishrag HS over the summer. Reckon the podcast here or gazman would do better.  The view From outsiders like this is positive and sets up general expectation on us,  most like this suggest top 4 as a minimum pass mark.

    Btw, if ‘i knew’, JJ, then why would i was my time?

    however, thanks for posting DL.

    The worst was a Welsh woman who at one point said, « you know you know you know ». True story.  And the stranger thing was she didn’t know she was saying « you know ».

    I don't usually mind these guys and their season previews but this one didn't really do anything.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
