The beauty of middle age and not going out on a Saturday night. Shall I start with the Dustin Fletcher Hangar or Big Footy Port Adelaide? Tough

Port look exhausted. Kens contract might end up being an administrative blunder.

You mean an administrative Masterclass. It hasn’t been signed yet and may not even be presented for signing…

Port will be lucky to win 2 of its last 4 games and will go out in straight sets, mark my words.

As I suspected, they went hard early because Ken’s job is very much on the line. It’s impossible to sustain for 24 rounds then finals. 
Will they find a third gear in time?

Only @binman can answer this one 😂

Interesting how the dead clash incident in the Port game is being labelled migraine and not concussion. FMD. 
Good seeing Port prioritising player welfare 

After all the talk and work on concussion this year in particular, can the AFL seriously allow Port to get away with this?

Not much from Bomberblitz:

 

      "Might be an unpopular opinion but losing this game and potentially missing finals is for the betterment of the club."

Yeah good point. I do feel like he’s coached relatively well, but I still don’t like their team defence or structure behind the ball.

There was a story in one of the papers today about the 25 rule changes made to deal with concussion since 2005. AFL need to really step up take points of Port.

Beat Richmond tomorrow and thanks to all this weekend's upsets second place is up for grabs if we are good enough. That's a big incentive that would rule out possible travel to Brisbane or Adelaide.

Far out, footy messes with your head. Usually watching Papley I’m thinking of how much I can’t stand his annoying mug. Just now I yelled out “Yes! Go Paps!!” Come round 24 and I’ll be back to wishing him a pregame injury. It’s exhausting!

Reminds me of when I yelled out " Go Milney!" during the drawn 2010 GF.
Watching neutral games can be confusing to say the least.

Port are pretenders. 3 losses in a row and conceding 100+ points yet again. Would happily finish 3rd and face them at Adelaide oval.

They’re Melbourning it

Good round of football, this.

Such a wild set of results that nobody can really make a clear claim to understand what it all means.

Fun that the biggest upsets - Gold Coast vs Brisbane and Adelaide vs Port - are also the only two games with any margin to speak of.

Hey, if 13th and 14th can beat 2nd and 3rd, maybe even West Coast are a chance to miraculously bridge the gap between them and second last?

But seriously, there could not have been a better time to be reminded to never take any team lightly. Plus, 2nd is now in the mix so it is time to get serious.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
