Looks like Harley Reid will be spending a season at West Coast before choosing where he wants to play

they'll trade with Hawthorn/North for a first and second. Would you want to play for North though?

As a working full time visual artist, with a background in design, most of the indigenous jumpers suffer from way too much going on, and a distinct lack of clarity and purpose.

Just for context - Freo’s jumper was designed in conjunction with Alex Pearce, who is from Tassie. So Fremantle’s jumper literally had a map of Tassie on it. 

I really hope some of the clubs start going for one symbol. There’s heaps of cool First Nations visual language (hello Devil Snake). Be great to see it applied more confidently and with more clarity, and not just filling every literal centimetre of the jumper.

As a comms professional and speechwriter who sees the same in the word-world, I empathise with you and commend this approach.

West Coast must really rate Harley Reid!!

Or perhaps they’re happy to take 3 first round picks off our hands.

Dees had a loss, and now Collingwood are on the TV.

I’m predicting a lot of ‘Collingwood will kill us’ posts coming up. 

Well if you put our Friday night form against how the filth are playing right now, they would [censored] on us from a very great height.

Just hand Collingwood the flag now. Going to be another grand final massacre for the third year in a row.

The only club that could remotely challenge them on GF day is Brisbane or possibly Geelong if they come home like a freight train.

Think I heard something similar last year about round 10

lots can happen between now and September. 

West Coast ....dodgy as

How long before Harley Reid asks for a trade home? 

WC might try to split pick 1 and use their picks on the best WA talent 


The only way Collingwood loses this year is if they're having an off day and the opposition is switched on. They're in second gear here and comfortably beating Carlton.

I can handle losing to Collingwood. But losing to Freo and Carlton would be disastrous.

And that's what I have been saying, our game plan will be ripped to shreds by this mob, but they are beatable it's just the way you go about it.

I know this will come across as incredibly defeatist, but I rather not make a grand final, than make one and lose to the Pies. 

I'm sorry I know they have injuries but for WC to only kick 4 goals, that is a disgrace. It's not like they were playing Collingwood or Brisbane. They were playing hawthorn

It's my worst nightmare followed by losing one to the bummers

Many said the same thing about us in round 10 last year.

I’m with you.

They have the potential to absolutely scar a fellow grand finalist for years to come, per GWS, Sydney, Port (2007)


game over 

The Blues are not the real deal. Doubt they’ll make finals 

really expected a better effort from them

I’d love to give you some confidence here but …

Pies applying full ground pressure like Cats of last year and us of 21. It's a simple game but obviously the biggest challenge lies in getting 23 blokes on board to work at that rate week in week out. Cats have dropped it off a bit and come back to the pack much like us.

Who's going to be able to throw the kitchen sink at the Pies this year? Not seeing a likely contender yet...

 

Carlton have no defensive structure. Pies very good but oppo teams seem to buy into the media fawning and are beaten before the game starts.

This is a Carlton side that has come out to make a statement. Spent the week talking about themselves. sitting at 11th at the moment.

  • 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.
