It’s not. I just wanted to tag you in the post so you see it 😂

 

I am genuinely interested to know what you think Port will do for the remainder of the H&A season to make sure they hit peak form in September. 
I feel like they’ve gone too hard too early and tinkering now is very risky. 

No idea to be honest.

But they appear to have taken a completely different approach.

There's no way they wouldn't have some loading program in place.

But they seemed to not drop off in their intensity till the blues game they just lost. Which is weeks later than when we started our loading phase. 

I'm guessing the fact they managed seven players in this game isapart of their strategy to manage load, fatgue, rest individual programs etc.

Bur that is risky, because clubs are  loath to make more that 2-3 changes (except for bevo) because sytems are so important.

Seven changes is the reason the blues were favourite against a team going for its 14th straight win.

They can afford a loss and that was obviously a risk they were happy to take.

Now they have to bring everyone back because they can’t afford this limp display against the Pies. 
A strange time to do this. 
 

It feels to me like Hinkley is on a hiding to nothing. He basically has to win the flag or he’s gone. They went so hard early because another so so start to the season and he’d get sacked. I wonder how much his fear of sacking is impacting their plan for the season.

The results have suited us perfectly so far.

Now we need Essendon and Geelong to draw and Geelong to sustain 7-10 season ending injuries. 
Easy. 


So the brother gifts the game to his brother, total capitulation by the Bombers.

Geelong's bigger bodies are absolute kryptonite for Essendon's smaller mids. It looks like men vs boys.

 

Seeing some pretty bad comments on social media regarding Sam Weideman. 

Was reading a stat that he hasn't kicked a goal in 6 week..

How on earth does that happen for a key forward?

It’s times like this you rely on your senior players like Stringer

lol


It’s a real shame there’s not more than 300 Essendon supporters at the ground watching this.

The whinged on SEN about not being able to go and the game was there. I bet all those same nonces are bloody glad they weren’t there.


Hate Geelong but seeing at they are going to win this anyways i hope they beat Essendon by 100+ points

Cannibal Corpse had an album called Tomb Of The Mutilated and that is what we are seeing.

The best thing about the Cats pumping the Bombers is that their percentage doesn’t count but the loss of Essendon’s does.

Really tough draw in the next month for Port, could see a huge drop off

  • 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.
