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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
