Can anyone explain the lining up of that kick after the siren - it was for OOB on the full but the man on the mark was brought in 10-15 meters.

Outside 5 cos didn’t stand mark immediately

But then was moved to 10 metres not 5, these clown umpires.

    I reckon we will run this game out but I’m really hoping to see a lift from guys like JVR and Sparrow. If they get involved and kick a few, we’ll be ok. We will need the lift.

    He chose the outside 5 option.  The best option for any kick from the boundary when its OOTF.

    But was then ordered to stand 10 meters away instead of 5.... go figure.

    Umps making the rules up on the run.  And as per usual its mostly us getting the rough end of the pineapple.

    a better quarter, but then that was not a particulary high mark to reach with only 1 goal in each of the first 2 quarters. really need to improve our disposal of the ball still pretty poor, lots of turn overs and kicking to the opposition. Gawny needs to change up his routine getting beaten too easily

     


    My app says it still feels like 26 degrees up there. Will takes it toll. Hopefully we aren’t a player down with Bowey. But this is where we’ll see if selwyn is worth his paycheck. Hopefully our more seasoned players will start to roll over the top. Carn Dees 🔴🔵

    Petty will make everyone better. Who goes to Petty JVR and Fritsch. Then add Kozzie and we have some very exciting forward half players. 

     

    Schache, sorry to say; no chase.

    • 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.
