Only positive I can see is that I'm not the silly [censored] with $50,000 on them to win but at least 6 points.

Goody said before the game he does give the team a spray if it's required. I'd say tonight is the time again 

Pathetic. That was the worst quarter our current midfield has ever played. 

 

We have to be the worse side in the AFL at going for the ball and keeping it front of us. 

Every time we pick the ball we are so easily pushed/bumped off the ball and the ball goes tumbling out to the opposition favoured side while we have 3 players running to the other side for a cheap one.


Those dogs are absolutely smashing our captain up.

Still in it.

Come on Naarm. Punch back

 

The only way is up in terms of stoppage work. Abysmally bad that half.

Would love for someone to stand up for Max. Butters, and just about every other port player, bumps into him at every opportunity. Hell even a 4 gamer in Lord had the nerve to put a dirty elbow into his back. Stand up for your captain ffs.

This is why I bang on about clearances.

We need clearances, we need first use of the ball because we need to be playing in front because as soon as the game becomes a scrap we are no good.

Lucky we have the best midfield we’ve ever had then. Weird how ineffective they are. It just doesn’t add up

If this midfield group doesn’t get their head ripped off at half time by the coaches, for this lifeless, soft, insipid performance, then I’m not sure when they will.

This.

JVR is a bright young talent, but jeez he runs under the ball repeatedly and is basically uncompetitive. He doesn’t have any support. Brown should’ve come in instead of TMac. At least he draws a man, free kicks, and was kicking goals before injury. 


Dees haven't showed up 

Some pretty poor efforts out there ATM 

They are getting stuck into Gawn again. Someone fly the flag and help out the captain ffs. 

We are playing afraid. Afraid of [censored] it up, afraid of losing.

Where has a g&d from 2021 gone. We were relentless in our attack and endeavour, now we are way too regimented in our ‘systems’ that when it doesn’t go according to plan we are all at sea.

12 frees to 7 and we got first three.

clarrie called for throws

but Port multiple one handed throw, Powell pepper double handed over top of his head

umpiring is so bad

max pushed in back constantly only free in centre against him for blocking a joke

Still demons need to lift

Umps influenced by the moron crowd noise.

It's always the way there. Always.

Max needs to show some leadership. Getting some treatment, but needs to work his way through it

Forunate

*Very* forunate. 
 

I’d go as far as to say: tremendously lumky 

It’s the midfield.

Forwards are not getting a look, backs are under siege.

Midfield cannot clear and move the ball.

  • 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.
