They choked badly against the doggies in the 21 PF so they have psychological scars to overcome. No guarantee theyโ€™ll make it but I think they will.ย 

Thatโ€™s what they said about us in 21 re playing a PF in WA. I didnโ€™t spot our mental scars that night and I highly doubt ย Port will be losing a final in Adelaideโ€ฆ theyโ€™re just a much better side in 23. ย Just hope itโ€™s not us that have to play them there.ย 

We have the defensive game to win at AO if required. I reckon we're the team others will fear most given how we strangled the pies offensive game. No one will want to play us.

And i'm delighted the cast were beaten. they were not a factor at all after quarter time.ย

We just posted simultaneously Wells

I agree. They are a better team than 21. Time will tell if they can push through to the granny but they are very well placed now. I can't see anyone out of us, pies, Port and Lions winning it. And the Lions are showing some familiar frailties again.ย 

as i said in my previous post, i think we have the game plan to win at AO if required.

suck on a fat one Cats!

i hope Danger plays next week, Jack will narrow in on those ribs!


and to think most experts didnโ€™t have Port in the top 8 at round 1

Our chance to finish top 2 was taken when we lost to them by 4 points. That was every bit an 8 point game. So most likely weโ€™ll finish 3rd and play them week 1, a game I think we can win.

My ladder predictor exercise after last night says that IF we can beat the cats next week, top of ladder finish is now a possibility on percentage from Pies and Power.ย  Power finishing top relies on a couple of tough wins needed for them.ย 

Lose to the cats and not possible.

Better chance of second, third more possible, at least allowing a minimum home final in week two.

Just saying having seen the Dees live last week.

Watched the last 5 mins only. Biggest take out is that the dissent rule does not apply to Hawkins.ย 

It wasnโ€™t just Hawkins. JHF audibly told the umpire to F Off when he got paid HTB and nothing was done.ย 

Dissent rule is no longer flavour of the month ๐Ÿ™„

Pies look tired. They could easily drop some games and give us the chance to overtake them. Crows, suns and doggies in their next 3. Not an easy run at all.

I have felt that for quite some period of this season teams have found an extra gear in order to take us on . We were THAT scalp.

I sense the mantle has moved to Collingwood.ย  ย Works for me.

David King's first comment at the half time commentary " A coaching masterclass by Chris Scott" Kingย  is a jerk at times, more often than not.

The โ€˜Kingโ€™ of the โ€˜goldfishโ€™ commentators only โ€ฆ.. no awareness of the past, absolutely zero concern for the bigger picture within a season. Whoever is in form and winning during his astonishingly limited 5 minute zone of reflection is the obvious team to beat/likely premier. Am stunned that heโ€™s presented as a serious commentator.ย

History shows Dangerfield would call a ambulance for a paper cut.ย  There has been several times he has taken himself off the ground and out of the game because he felt the slightest twinge.ย  Unlike our man Clarry who played out a game with a torn hammy.ย

Port are due for a loss.ย 

They are and now teams will put more time into studying what they do and how to beat them. Let's see how they go in the 2nd half of the year. I'll happily play then anywhere and be confident we would winย

Was it ever going to be any other way?

Their cache only allows for one front of mind thing at a time and right now it's dangerous tackles. Dissent to the back of the bus.ย 

Pies peaked a month ago

Port are peaking nowย 

Demons will peak in a couple of monthsย

Itโ€™s a fair point you canโ€™t be at 100% for the whole year, this time last year we would have been favourites still and Geelong were just starting to get rollingย 

Port is now the true test of the theory that if you peak too early you'll be too banged up by September. Theyre 12-2.ย  Massive mid season bye. Dont play again till July.

Some difficult games coming up but can see them finish on 17 or 18 winsย  definitely top2.ย  ย Home finals.

Must be one of the favourites unlessย  Butters Rozee Wines etc get run over by a bus.

Thereโ€™s many such players. Conversely, you wonโ€™t find many players with a short torso and long legs. Not really suited to Aussie Rules.ย

Port have 16 days between games. We got 10 for our bye . We always seem to get screwed by the fixture

I hate Hawkins, Rohan + Scott. I think I've forgotten another person I hate. No matter.

I kinda like Stewart, Blicavs, Henry (the odd looking one) & Zac Guthrie.

I hate Jee-long (clap/clap/clap) but not as much as I used to; cos Selwood is no longer there.

Yes but we will have 3 x 10 day breaks in a row.

We will be the most rested, freshest team in the comp ready to take on the rest of the season.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sundayโ€™s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonโ€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyโ€™s three matches and, with Melbourneโ€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekโ€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardโ€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnโ€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamโ€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneโ€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.ย There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.ย Since that game, the Demonsโ€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyโ€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the โ€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayโ€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
