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?

He absolutely milked that free. There was no 2nd action to his tackle. His technique was flawless as far as I can see.

Absolute BS. No arms pinned and Rozzee played a dead fish to draw a free. Madness. Should appeal.  Opposition player did zero to protect himself and had both arms free. What was rivers to do?

Salo wearing god only knows what 😅

Looks like someone walked in off the street to photo bomb.

 

Watched a part of the replay again.

My hat is off to all those who went to this game.

Seriously, those Port fans are feral and it's a committed supporter who braves that.

I think @WalkingCivilWar mentioned someone talking about being in the trenches. 

I can genuinely see why.

To use an old Soprano line..." Did someone leave a cage open at turtleback zoo?"

Looks like one of those silk robes boxers come out wearing.

Also, why is Howesie pulling that face?

It looks as though Blake is holding one in and needs to go to the toilet. 💩💩💩

This hasn't been widely reported, but a large group of Port Adelaide players and coaching staff took the time to visit a local orphanage on Easter Sunday.

"I feel really sad for them.  They looked so lost with no hope for the future" said Jack, a five year old resident.

This ain’t cool. Plenty of stuff we can joke about, but this isn’t it. 

I wasn't joking. he was missing a hand. making an observation... your life must suck if your worried about that.

Wrong thread.

Billings is worth persevering with. He’s coming off two years plagued with injury-setbacks, and is finding his feet at a new club. He was never going to play his best footy in the first few weeks. 
 

(Oh and, my phone seems pretty determined to spell his name as “Billing’s”, so I can understand the errors)

At this point, I think he is worth persisting with. If he keeps missing tackles in subsequent games then the conversation changes.

Sorry Mel, I read your post as a question. Fully agree with you.

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. 

Yeah even last year he was still backing us in

This win really stacks up the more you think about it.

I get that statistically we perhaps shouldn’t have won, but stats don’t account for the last quarter’s tenacity, determination and nailing the clutch moments that we did.

I would be surprised if Port lose more than 2 games at AO this year.

  • 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.

  • 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.
