Don't think the port/ess game is of a high standard at all. Quite poor footy. If port can kick straight at goal they will win. Watch the bombers tire in the last.

 

Looking forward to Swans v Pies. I feel an upset at the G. 

DISCLAIMER....I Thought we'd win by ten goals last night so.....gamble responsibly.

Dermott literally just said ‘it’s a man’s sport, and that’s the way in needs to be played’.

Except for when it’s played by women Derm. Did he mean tough, uncompromising, or brave? There’s lots of other words. Use them, or go.

Dermott also said, while praising Weids, “All he needed was a bit more time, Melbourne should’ve been patient.”

😳

As ironic as Dermies comment is, I'd actually take him back at the minute for our fwd line issues but only short term.

Cripps is a great inside contested player but unfortunately the modern game just doesn’t suit his style as much as it used to. 

Poor man's Luke Dunstan

I have never come across a commentator that just likes to get it out there as to how great he is (was) and how he is just such an effusive expert on all things football. He really does irk me big time.

 

Don’t forget: Every time you hear Dermie do an intake of breath (meaning he’s about to say something) you must immediately assume an air of solemn respect, similar to how the masses would’ve been just before Confucius spoke. 

The only way to beat both Melbourne and Collingwood is to just bury them from the first bounce. Close contests and they're just too good with too much polish. 

Surely if both teams are 1st and 2nd come King's Birthday we get 90k+?

Hope so. Could be the game of the season. KB still sounds strange.

I think it says more around our game style and overall skill level. 
 

Weid is good 1:1 with space. He is not good in contested marking. If you recognise that and play to his strengths then he’ll generally perform better than he did for us. He just couldn’t do what we were asking if him.

I’ll spew if I’ve watched this game ‘til the end only to see Essendon win.

HANG IN THERE, PORT!

edit: no need to spew 🥳

Pies are getting a fair run

  • 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.
