They definitely overachieved last year, they are still middle of the pack.

That's being generous. Will finish 14th after this round and will be lucky to win three more for the year. Up until about three weeks ago had a great run with the least injuries. Pains me we lost to them but we have at least taken a couple of top teams .

    I mean that they are still far off becoming a serious premiership contender. I believe people in WA drank their own bathwater and really thought they were a chance, just get one unicorn!

    Suns had the chance to take a stranglehold in the first quarter but lousy "connection" has left the door open.

    Saints next 4 games at Marvel. How many games do they play there? Seems they’re there most weeks. 

    They play their next 5 at Marvel !

    They're bog ordinary cant even get into the game against the Suns. Most likely team to drop out of the 8. Only still in it because of their soft fixture.

    Top 2 is out of our reach barring upsets. We also have to win every game. 

    I disagree if Port drop today they are in a little bother.

    Even if they lose today they could only lose 2 more (Geelong and Collingwood). Unless they drop another and we win all our games we can’t mathematically catch them. 

    Our chance is small and we can only blame ourselves but the Local Derby is always a 50/50 game no matter which team is  sitting where on the ladder. Happy if we can just win our last six and sit back and watch.

    Unlikely they drop out of the top 2 but I think the showdown could go either way and GWS may push them as well.

    Can see a dip in performance from them after 13 straight wins, teams can rarely sustain it.

    • 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.
