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.

Three consecutive 10-day breaks is great. But a 14- or even 13-day break is what we’re entitled to and is what the players (or at least some of them) would find way more beneficial.

    How else can they go to Bali? Am I right??

    I joke. They absolutely deserve a proper break.

    Tempted to go to Carlton vs Gold Coast on Sunday just for the schadenfreude.  Suns a very good chance I think.

    Carlton should win this but wouldn't you love the Suns to pump them.

    Sydney a good chance to help us with a win against the Lions.

    and to think most experts didn’t have Port in the top 8 at round 1

    They have a very tough run home so if they make they deserve it. But they are not a lock to finish top four by a long way.

    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.  Power finishing top relies on a couple of tough wins needed for them. 

    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.

    Who do you have Port losing to?

    They have Pies and Crows at home and funnily enough play Geelong again in a few weeks.

    They won’t go undefeated for the rest of the season. They just won’t. Upsets happen all the time and their young small mids could easily get tired. Or injured. 
    They could well lose to Pies, Adelaide, Geelong in Geelong. Hell Essendon might beat them. They beat us!

    Maybe it’s because I don’t trust the Suns yet but I think Carlton are due to give their supporters hope for a second before they knife them in the back again.

    Last night was strange. Probably should've been hoping Geelong won so we'd have two teams within close distance of us to aim for that top 2 position, but I think it's better this way. We can aim for a home 2v3 final v the Pies and send them off to a bruising Port prelim, who will be minor premiers and enough momentum to get themselves into a victorian grand final where their [censored] will fall out from under them, and we can have a 15 goal victory. 

    And Geelong can continue on their way at the lower rungs of the 8 or missing out completely.

    We are technically only one game away from second, as long as we keep winning. We have a game in hand of Port and they have to play the pies.

    Carlton are a mess, they’re not playing as a team, they have no depth. If the Suns were to lose it would be a massive backwards step on the progress they’ve made this season. Harry McKay is a major worry, watching him last week, when he takes a mark 20-30 metres out with little angle he’s seriously at a loss on what to do. I feel as though when he does kick a goal it’s more by fluke than actual skill. He’s almost Travis Cloke all over again.

    Curious as to why you think Carlton should win?

    Does anyone know when the last time both teams from the previous grand final missed finals the following year?

    I have alway liked Amarty. Out of contract at years end. Has had his share of injuries but I can see him in the red and blue next year.

    A blatant push in the back to push his opponent out and goal.

    Ump right there.

    Brayshaw said he “nudged” his opponent out from under the ball. The commentators know what they saw but are reluctant to mention it. Or are told not to.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
