Happy for Hogan and Bedford. Big Big Sound for flag.

As a Demon tragic first an an ABC (Anyone But Collingwood) supporter second, I'll be rooting for the Giants, Hogan and Bedford for the flag.

    Nice to see Hogan so much more comfortable talking to the media. He absolutely hated doing it when he was a young kid at Melbourne.

    Got jealous watching giants in the 2nd quarter. Nice to see Hogan in form. They can certainly do the job on the filth.

    Aside from his football talents, Toby Greene won me over during the week on AFL 360 with his no BS no cliche interviews.

    When Gerard Whateley asked him if he had a major amount of empathy for the scrutiny placed on Maynard, his simple answer was “no”

    Giants can absolutely beat the Pies. They won’t care at all about the crowd. They’re used to never having it on their side. 

    They will have the neutrals. 

    They are fast, play in small pockets and are desperate.

    Good backline, mids and forwards. 

    Hinkley out coached.

    Playing the one trick pony (Woods) who haven't done that fast, bang, bang for a while.

    Also, have a dream to fulfill.

    That was an outstanding first half by the Giant.

    Giants are up and about.  Tough ask to get over the filth at home but they have nothing to lose and will go in as rank underdogs.

    But a stack of belief and a fantastically balanced side that's set for finals footy.

    Can only hope the filth go in super cocky.

    What Port fans are saying:

    -What a s**t season

    -This one is on you Koch, Richardson, Hinkley and the ******* happy clappers. Destroyed the Port Adelaide established 1978 

    -It all started with the pissweak middle, lycett is so ******* s**t and slow. Delist

    -The supporters of all clubs need to come together to somehow extract Ken Hinkley not just from the club, but from the AFL industry

    -Completely pointless season

    -I am so down on this club that I'm not even sad about this being Boak's last game.

    -I don’t advocate for violence but man, Hinkley’s face is testing me

    -Boak has a big role to play in this , had to power to get rid of Ken but sucked him off to the power brokers

    -Let’s see Kochie defend this fraud

    -Honestly Mcentee just delist yourself and [censored] right off and take a few others with you.

    -Gutless all of them

    -Did we really deserve getting Hinkley 11 years ago??

    -This era has really killed my interest in footy

    -It was inevitable the second we signed Hinkley before the finals. Pressure off. Straight sets exit. Completely unacceptable. If there is any accountability at the club, both the board and Hinkley step down.

    -And once again tonight we got to see Hinkley under pressure and it wasn't a pretty sight. No moves, no motivation, barely an adjustment, just the old "I'll have faith" with is code for I haven't got a clue and I'm too scare to try anything.

    -Looking forward to hearing this [censored] clown in the presser. He’ll have no answers as always, just some [censored] about having one bad quarter and some inaccurate kicking…..but the game plan is fine…

    -Just like Koch they hide behind doing nothing as being wise and measured but it's just two old guys who don't know but like playing the pretend game as it's good for the egos.

    -Another pathetic finals performance. That second quarter was below amateur standard.

    -Watch everyone responsible for this diabolical mess disappear into thin air and not emerge until the autumn

    -Good luck finding Koch anywhere, the weak, snivelling, moronic excuse-laden fraud

    -A putrid club that was no right whatsoever to call itself the Port Adelaide Football Club. We're dead.

    Cornes’ comments around Goodwin, the MFC more broadly and, most recently, Gus have been bang out of order all year!

    He can now FRO.

    Really happy for Hogan and Bedford.

    Yep. Kane Cornes suffering tonight makes me incredibly happy. One of the biggest biased knobs going around.

    In fairness to Cornes he never once gave Port a chance to win the flag. Said their defence wouldn’t be up to scratch in finals and he was proven correct.

    His defence of Maynard was cringeworthy but he was correct with Port.

    how does Hickley get a gig after 11 years? 

    Hone to the Giants. Giants should have won by 10 goals

    Based on this year he did pretty well. They aside from a couple of good, young midfielders have a very ordinary list.

    At least we're not the only ones.

    Port do serve up some horror home finals defeats. They've been spanked twice in 3 years (doggie pf in 2021 and last night) in big finals in front of their own fans. At least we've been spared that (small mercies i know)

    The Giants sack their coach and get rid of two plodding mids and this happens....just saying!!!

    Hardest thing Zak Butters did all night - picked on a trainer - [censored].

    Watched the Kayo mini of yesterday's game. Not only was a thrilled to see the Dubs get up and Jesse play a brilliant game but how great was it to see the Port Adelaide Crows fans crying like the jerks that they are. Looks like it's not your year thundercrackers!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
