i've always found it strange that they adopted that inxs song - i know it was about the split forced on them between afl and sanfl versions of 'port adelaide', but it's played out now with the teams being together for a long time now

once the port maggies leave the sanfl for the vfl / national reserves competition in the coming years, it really won't be applicable at all anymore

Adopting that song was probably kochies decision  because he loves inxs.

But max was on radio last week & said he loves it when the crowd does that because it pumps him up to

Saw this on First Crack, apologies if this has been mentioned already. This is a ‘strike rate’ thing

The AFL average is 88 points. We are top on both ends of the spectrum.

We are +70 points at scores from stoppages #1 Rank.

Thought it was a good stat in theory but once again like “pressure rating” the metrics behind the points aren’t explained by the statisticians where needed.  Using “points” as a metric in a game where some metrics use literal points scored is deceptive. 

Apologies if this has already been discussed at length, I haven't had a chance to read through this thread, but I just saw Rivers got a fine for a sling tackle.  Am I the only one (apart from Tom McDonald) who thought Rozee threw himself on the deck trying to milk the free?

Great post would read again. Am I seriously not allowed to have some discussion about a game our coach and captain both admitted we generally wouldn't win based on all key stats?

Honestly, what is a footy forum for? Just sitting around with the happy clappers until someone posts things that gets taken down for legal reasons?

Not looking for perfection, it was a heck of a win, just looking at the way that probably more than 50% of the game was on Port's terms/in their style and how we got the game played more to our strengths.

Of course you are. Most agree with the general proposition that we struggled in various aspects of the game.

It’s just that there was nothing in your original post to explain why you said it was a “fantastic win”. Which made it feel like you dropped it in for the sake of it, in a post which otherwise read like we’d hardly impressed against an average side.

After re-watching the game, basically all of the frees we got in the first qtr were absolutely legitimate. None of them were even 50/50.

Nice one.

We seemed to run faster and more in the last q.

I wonder if our matches mostly in hot conditions helped us.

It is literal points I assume.

That's to say we average 125 points per 100 clearnces, so 1.25 points per clearance.

You are not alone. Thought Rivers tackle was basically around the waist. Rozee is a cunning customer. Along with the natural momentum felt he added to the result and eventual free kick awarded to him. Think Tommy Mac said a few words to him.

Well done on the huge flag waving effort during the faux INXS power pre game anthem too.

 

Aah, so it was noticed. Nice. We hadn’t planned on doing that, it just happened. Thanks for pointing it out👍🏽

Joey likes the Dees, I reckon. Regularly has positive things to say.

He also said he reckons most other clubs would envy our culture. He’s about the only one who’s backed us this whole time, so you know he’s not just jumping onboard now that things are on the up.

You must like vinegar wine: to make good wine, you need good grapes: Port tears come from a part of their anatomy called a word starting with b and ending with m.

Squiggle has us now finishing on top of the ladder and winning the GF against GWS!

Go Dees

That's who l have had us playing since before the season started.

Purple said we are a very good team. Must have hurt him to say that.

Can't sleep WCW ?

No and I didn’t even bother trying to sleep. Didn’t get home until 10pm last night, talked to Mrs Fritta for an hour about the match, and there was no way I wasn’t gonna watch the replay. Then I was so pumped after watching that I couldn’t sleep so I watched the second half of the GF. Similar vibes.

Fritta's mum getting all the hugs!?

Nah that’s Shazza Nibbla. She sat with us for the game and it was so cool to see her reaction to her boy playing arguably his best ever. Nibs hugged her, Chin hugged her, but the Clarrie hug was extra special because she’s close to Michelle Oliver and she knows in detail the pain his family has been through with those vultures in the media. Mrs Fritta didn’t attend the match last night.

Thx WC.

That banner was outstanding for Vins and the noise / chants made by the D.A. & others in attendance was superb.

Congrats to all there and hope you're enjoying your stay over there.

Found a decent coffee yet?

Happy to be back in our beautiful  city. Going back to Adelaide on Thursday morning. Crows fans will seem like sweet little old ladies compared to those base Port cretins.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
