Is JVR playing as a CHF or a deep forward?   

Hard to say from this vision.  Would need to ve watching from behind the goals to tell what he is or isn't doing. 

Mostly 'isn't' so far

2nd 

xx scoring !! One goal!!!  Inside 50s x 28  

xx fumbles. Laurie. Rivers. 
Xx dropped marks in forward 50. Sparrow. Fritsch. Chandler 
xx kick to packs !! Still !!! 
 

👏👏May. Howes. Viney. 

 

none of the umpires are consistent on this rule

    Jack Viney decapitated - HTB.

    And now a ridiculous 70 to give them a goal

    Tough conditions I know but the skills from both sides are terrible.

    Two questions regarding rules. They highlighted Grundy taking away Gawn’s space at centre bounces, he goes straight to the man before the ball is up in the air, I’m surprised that’s permitted. 
     

    Second one is the McDonald has the ball from the mark on the forward 50, May stranded from the stand rule but McDonald is allowed to go straight towards goal ignoring May’s positioning and off the line of the mark, umpire doesn’t call play on. I don’t mind the rule, but that’s insanely unfair on the defensive team. 

    Gawn needs to meet him halfway. If Gawn is remaining stationary and Grundy is simply taking the available space then fair play. Gawn needs to be more proactive.


    Laurie subbed off. Billings on. About time!

    The biggest worry is no run or connection by hand.  Mostly up & under kicks and the mid field looks to be right off the pace.

    That's aside from the usual forward woes.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
