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

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
