The flag race really is right open. I reckon if you're GWS or even Carlton you definitely feel like you can steal a flag ala Bulldogs in 2016. 

A Port win would suddenly open it right up again. 

Except Port won’t win. It is going to take a major upset to not be a Collingwood Brisbane grand final. I cannot see either of GWS or Port beating Collingwood in the prelim, nor can I see Brisbane losing to Carlton.

    I hope brissy win. If we can beat carlton then I think they are a better match up than port.

    I’m just offended by the pathetic wording. 
    Sounds like they went to chat GPT and typed in “write me a banner for the Port vs Brisbane game” 

    LOL I didn’t even read it! But you’re dead right. It’s hard to read it without yawning.

    Speaking of triggering, what the hell is this banner effort from Port?

    @WalkingCivilWar you would never sign off on this!

    A question I’ve always had, is the banner more for the fans or the players? Do the players even ready the banner?

    Preemptive congrats on your huge Pointsbet haul for next week (and the week after).

    Surely Gil can arrange for his wet dream Collingwood v Carlton GF.   A few more "favourable goal reviews", a tribunal reprieve for Jack Martin.  Wouldn't trust him / them at all.

    Harris Andrews ain’t Steven May. He’s more of an interceptor. He’s been absolutely killed one on one tonight.

    It’s for both. We make them for the players and we enjoy making them. I don’t know if every player reads them but I’ve seen many of them looking up at the banner as they run out. The banner is also where the players congregate until every one of them is on the field (my favourite part). They jump up and down and pump each other up and smile or otherwise acknowledge us as we’re screaming encouragement like crazy people. All this while our song is playing. Im sure the players appreciate it. I know our girls appreciate the banners because they’ve told us, many times.

    I doubt we'll beat the Blues with Goodwins bomb it in territory gameplan,the Pies had 18 players inside our 50 waiting for the bombs all night and the Blues will do the same,We don't switch on until we are 4 goals down like against the Tigers and Swans,the Blues jumped the Swans in the first 10 minutes like the Pies did to us and the Blues will be on fire in the first quarter and it'll be all over.

     

    I'd rather play Port in Adelaide if we get that far

    No one could see GWS beating Collingwood in the 2019 prelim, after Collingwood had knocked off Geelong in the QF and GWS had finished 6th.

    Make an early tactical substitution.

    Immediately lose two players to injury, Hinkley masterclass.

    True, but when it comes to Port I like to rub it in.

    Who’s the commentator that keeps on saying “deadly”? 

    Possibly the same one who described Horne-Francis as a "revelation". Yes, the #1 draft pick, who was never going to be anything other than a star.

    Burgoyne ... listening to him is like scraping nails down a blackboard.

    Hodge ... [insert your own comment]

    Neither of these teams defend well. Kick straight and we’ll beat either.

    Have you ever received any praise or feedback from the players about the banners?

    Brisbane's gut running to support and effort (at home) is at another level.  Reminds me of us in 2021

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
