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?

    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?"

    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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
