    I’m happy to admit I’m on the Giants train and will pleased if they snag this years flag. 
     

    Their game is so good to watch - wish it was red and blue guernseys. 

    With you 100%.

    Also, Hogan was "ill disciplined" but we're about to recruit McAdam and recruited Hunger lol

    I know we got good value for all of them but gee whiz, you can't ignore the common denominator of forwards wanting to leave.

    and Hogan smashed it at Freo didn’t he?

    the kid wasn’t right and wanted to leave. 

    zero blame on the club

    Port are lucky to only be 6 goals down.

    Yes, Giants are on a Demons scoring streak, keeping Port in the game, just about.

    There's a lot of criticism about Goodwin but I don't think anyone here is crazy enough to think he should be sacked.

    Hinkley definitely shouldn't have lasted as soon as he has.

    I’ve been iffy on Goodwin for a while. I think the club needs really clear hurdles for any extension beyond the current one. 
     

    I think we start with some fresh voices underneath him though and see what happens 

    Can’t afford to wait too long unless one is confident of finding the next Oliver and tracc

    GWS is one class above PA. In my view, I consider Pies, PA, and Syd to be on a similar level, while Melb, Carlton and Bris are better than them. GWS should beat the Pies comfortably next week, and the umpires won't be able to help the Pies much. I wouldn't be surprised if GWS won the Premiership.

    I know Goody maybe feeling it right now but this is a summary of Hinkleys finals record with Port:

    2014 - 10-1 and two games clear on top of the ladder after Round 12, didn't even make top 4.
    2020 - On top of the ladder literally every round of the home and away season, lost home prelim.
    2021 - Lost home prelim by 71 points against injury hit fifth placed team who went on to get smacked by 12 goals in the Grand Final.
    2023 - Three games clear in the top 2 with seven rounds to go. Won't even make a prelim.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
