    This. Except in a much nicer way, and not disparaging birds of any kind.

    Better to let Grundy and BB do the ruck, give Gawn a break, he's tried.

    You do mean “tired” right?

    I love the phrase monkey's uncle. Is that a Lion King one?

    Sounds like he's been tried and convicted without a chance to defend himself!

    He sure is trying out there.

    I think it was around long before that since my grandad used to say it and he’d be like 1000 years old were he alive today. 😁

    ‘Trying’ in this instance being an adjective or a verb?

    Interested to see how Joel Smith goes about it tonight.

    Hope he clunks a few and can apply some tackling pressure when it goes to ground.

    We need to find our system and method tonight going forward.

    Taking the mickey by the way @WalkingCivilWar would never question El Capitano.

    Lets go with adjective for those playing at home.

    You must be a kid. Common in old Hollywood movies and early American TV.


    Time for Max to take this game by the scruff of the kneck! Just been going since he's been back & we really do need him at his best. 

    For me, he's our barometer tonight & If he gets going & starts clunking them around the ground like we know he can, then it'll go along way to setting up this game in our favour. 

    If Carlton deny us marking the footy, we'll be in trouble.

    No just your grandad! But don't worry, one of mine would have been 125 y.o a few days ago.

    Not sure what to do about this game whether to start drinking early or later and finish with a flourish

    Coffee ban? Why? WHY??????

    Yeah nah, good luck with that Layz. Wish I could do the same. I would except there’d likely be a spike in random homicides in the western suburbs. 

    I'm running a marathon today and feel it's analogous to our season. Currently in the early winter slump, going ok but slightly out of sorts, I hope by the time I cross the finish line (5pm-ish) there will be some beers lined up at the golf club and I can celebrate in style and watch the Dees tonight.

    We're just grinding out the marathon at the moment. Each km marker (game) is merely a snapshot at the present time as to how the team was feeling... it's not a predictor of the end result. There is going to be a lot of hurt and joy both on an individual and team level over the next 12 rounds... and then the next season begins.

    The saying has been around since the 1800s and was a sarcastic response to Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

    Well Polly wants a cracker because this is either a ‘BBB is done’ situation or ‘he can only play 10 AFL games a year’ situation. 

    I don’t understand it and I am worried more for JVR who is running about trying to play to where they are kicking it and looks so lost from time to time. Gawn and Grundy play like they ‘chip in’ to the forwards as a favour and we don’t have someone to the tough work now that TMac is out. 

    Unless we suddenly move the ball better - get ready for more frustration and as many I50s as points…

    • 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.
