We finished 4th last year with 16 wins & 4 losses. Regardless if the Pies win, it’s still difficult for either of these teams to make top 4. Swans finished 8th with 12.5 wins and 10 losses.

Going early with that statement...

    They can't move the ball without Coleman. 

    The AFL can't allow teams to have breaks within 2 weeks of the season starting, its disjointing for the competition.

    You either play everyone opening round or scrap it all together.

    Completely agree about Coleman. He kept them in the granny last year and Brissy’s whole set up revolves around him. He’s a superstar that doesn’t get the credit he deserves. 
     

    And yeah the ‘opening’ round has played out poorly. Further compromises the season.

    Umm so is Daniher. Not too sure what Hipwood brings as a KPF, but he plays smaller than Spargo.

    Always seems to play his best games against us though

    Absolutely. I just didn’t want to name both in case the angry ghost of Norm Smith reads my outrageous comments. He sees these posts & makes these blokes play well against us 😁

    With the list that Lions have, Fagan looks to only have a plan A. Not sure he will get the ultimate success. 
    Hipwood reminds me of Schache

    Nup much worse

    Neither team will finish top 4.

    one of them will miss finals.

    Thanks Brisbane for ruining the best running joke of the season. Twitter/X was fun while the Pies were winless.

    The pies looked linke they go the rub of the green with the frees, but at least they put some effort in.  Lions were slow, stationary and putrid.

    Channel 7 asking Pendlebury in the post match interview about a ‘love tap’ on Neale is everything wrong with the AFL.

    Stop creating the narrative. They did it last year and it’s fundamentally wrong.

    It makes me hate the game.

    Fagan senile.. like half of his players, inept!! has Hipwood had a touch??? My 3 year old grandson goes harder than him!

    Picket, I find it helpful to understand your posts if I read them using the voice of Donald Trump. All of a sudden it explains a lot!

    Tough night to be a Lions fan.  Frustrating to watch the team play so bad, but oh my, the umpiring was next level atrocious.  Would ruin the long weekend.

    How is that Maynard tackle different from a sling tackle?

    It was Maynard, so it was deemed a “football action” 😬

    I find, when Selwood speaks, it has a laxative effect. 

    Oh that's interesting. I seem to have problems at the other end.

    It’s been a very strange night. BT calling posters as goals. Also saying this absolute trash game feels like a ‘finals game’? WTF?

     

    Umpiring was AWFUL. 
     

    The standard of the game was terrible by both teams. 
     

    Brisbane just played worse than Collingwood. 
     

    Joey Montagna saying Pendles punch was just a fine??

     

    Interviewing and asking a player about an incident they should be suspended for straight after a game?

     

    Referring to the incident as a ‘love tap?’

     

    The reality of what we just witnessed vs the way it’s characterised by commentators is worlds apart. 
     

    Painfully obvious tonight.

    • 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.
