Twitter has the same reaction to Weightman's disallowed goal as I have: image.thumb.png.665d1fef1203fffa498d462d2e8c4de3.png

    Looked a perfect shepard to me. Bad call

    I'm normally happy if the Doggies get stiffed on a free kick but jeez that was harsh 😳

    That is just horrid. How can you pay a free against Baker for that. Footy is just getting to hard to watch.

    The umpires like players will be held accountable for poor performances such as the Baker call and the non holding the ball call against Alir.

    Thats why finals are generally well umpired.

    Baker was so stiff then. But it's kind of funny it was weightman who had the goal taken off him.

    But you watch that happen on Monday and not be paid.

    Omg this is BS. Absolutely ridiculous. Oskar didn’t do anything wrong. Just shepherded the ball through.

    And I’m so over the commentators group-frothing over Zak bloody Butters.

    Port Adelaide are becoming a very hateable team. So many cocky tools running around. Hinkley carrying on like a pork chop. Dixon a massive fake hard man. Hope they fall over in September 

    Considering they’ve lost 3 prelims under Ken it’s fairly certain it’ll happen again.

    Going to be very hard to finish top 2 now, even with our relatively easy run home. 

    lose on Monday and both Pies and Port are 3 games clear.

    That's a big break

    If we lose on Monday the gap between 3rd and 2nd will probably become out of reach with the way Port are going.

    Port are becoming annoying now. 

    Especially Butters, after every stop in play, trying to rough up someone lying on the ground.

    He and Bailey Humphries were really major targets of JT, but we didn’t have the picks.

    BT: “look at Port, equal top of the ladder!”

    🤔 

    So… they’re second on the ladder then, you buffoon.

    I’d be happy to meet Port over there in a Qualifying final.

    So an entire season of watching this game being turned into a complete fiasco every week before we might start seeing some decent umpiring?

    You beauty Newc!

    Love Butters. Best player in the comp this year. Very jealous of Ports young mids. Butters, Rozee and Horne-Francis are all explosive and hit the scoreboard.

    Hoping Sparrow can become a similar player as he’s got the physical attributes to do so, just needs it all the click at once. Showed promise the last few weeks.

    I'd moved on from top-2 a while back.  Simply down to a top four focus regardless of what happens Monday (although it would be awesome to put an end to the constant media dribble/love for the Pies).

    The real question is, who has the worst tatts, Liberatore or Dixon.

    Some real shocking tatts on Libba, Marge Simpson smoking a dart, the Gingerbread Man with Raphael eye band, Homer Simpson, Rolling Stones tongue 👅 out with a £ symbol.

    No qualms playing Powa in a Final on Adelaide Oval.

    Every game I watch at the moment the umpires are just way to involved. Some of the free kicks been paid you just shake your head and change the channel. 

    Hope they stay out of the game Monday.

    • 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.
