Jason Taylor was a big Humphrey fan, good to know he’s still got an eye for it. 

After the early morning post match review, straight to the pool room to watch Humphery at 9:30.

They are a very good side wait till you see what happens to us on KB.

Yeah I know.

The two games last year against the Pies confirmed that we can’t go the distance with Collingwood’s manic and fast paced football.

 

Port are now becoming trust worthy.

In prior years this would be the sort of game they’d drop on the road as favourites.

Anyone see then as a flag chance?

We play Alice, we won’t get the Darwin game. 

why not... the Darwin game is an away game and will be rotated through the smaller Melbourne clubs of which we are one

We lost to Sydney twice last year which many said “confirmed” we couldn’t go with them. 

I hope the club hasn’t written our chances off like you have.

This question shouldn’t need to be asked. 

They are 100% a flag chance. Right now they have claims to being the best side in the comp. They have already shown that, no matter what happens today.

Because both games are played around the same time of year, and we can’t and won’t be made to travel to the NT twice in as many weeks. It just won’t happen.

Expected a lot more from The Tiger today. Hardwick would be gutted "watching from home" by the lack of response so far.

Bit tough they are only a goal down.

so yr saying there's a chance...

terrible decision to give the free for that head high. luckily Port missed but jeez the umpiring is so poor across the comp

tiges get within 2 points then a couple of very dubious frees to port


does that goal umpire ever back himself to make the call. another pointless review

How good is umpiring…. Said no one ever

Footy is becoming unwatchable. Need to go back to three Umps with the fourth watching from the stand. The AFL need to do something about it but wont.

How frustrating is it to see port miss these goals. Couldn't happen last week could it. No of course they take there opportunities against us

They missed heaps in the first half. It was the only reason we were still in the contest at half time.

Why have umpires stopped paying pushes in the back in marking contests?

Bit of a shame with Port but what can you do.

They’re looking very good.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
