if they lose to Geelong next week in Geelong, we may end up playing them in Melbourne instead :)

Great, another week I have to not wish death upon Geelong.

    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

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

    Cripes. So many upsets this round. I don’t want any upsets tomorrow. I want a……downset?

    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 😂

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

    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.

    I will never understand why people melt after wins on here when we have rounds like this. 

    Felt guilty barracking for Freo today, but it couldn’t have worked out any better.

    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.

    Buddy is a spent force. It’s actually better for us if he plays

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
