This game in the Adelaide Hills brings back memories of Carrara with it's portable seating in the era of the Bears.

    Great running goal from Jayden Hunt for West Coast, running off the backline before dishing it off and then getting it back again in the forward line and goaling.

    I watched the Port Adelaide vs Essendon game last night as a neutral, but also as someone who has a bit of a dislike for both sides. I did however, enjoy seeing Port tip Essendon completely over the edge because the Bombers have been unashamedly promoted in the Herald Sun throughout the preseason and into the first few weeks of the season proper. No coincidence that Mark Robinson, the paper’s chief football writer, is an Essendon fan. I wonder if we are now going to see a change of direction at the HUN and for someone among their team of journos to start questioning the culture of the club at the hanger?

    I looked up Robbo on Wikipedia and look what I found?

     I wonder what that was about?

    Good effort by Eagles. Sadly they will run out of steam.

    Great goal by Jayden. Shame about his next 2 efforts. Will always be remembered fondly by Demons supporters, especially WalkingCivilWar who had a cougar type crush on him !!!

    I'm not sure either but chucked $5 on them at 10 to 1 Thursday night.

    Fingers crossed

    I couldn’t tell if your question was a joke.  But it was 2014 when they had their feud.

    Not related, but I just watched Jack Billing’s first afl goal which happened to be against the bombers in 2014.  He ran from about half back.  The bombers looked big and slow, almost like they were taking something to bulk up.

    I've only watched about half of this game because it's dwayning.

    But, it seems to reasonably well umpired when compared to Thursday night.

    The difference is quite stunning

    Harley Reid is going to be a serious player but he gave away a very costly 50 there due to inexperience. 

    there's a stiff breeze blowing to the end the Eagle are kicking to in the last quarter. 15 points down. Kick an early goal and you never know.

    I'm still laughing reading all the angry things the bummers fans have written online. 

    Also how funny was it when stringer had the ball on the boundary line & played on while over the boundary line.

    Carlton shooting for their first ever Adelaide Oval win. Meanwhile we’ve just cracked 12 wins.

    Collingwood supporters and the media claiming they have the best NON SA team record, but I reckon 12 wins is better than 8.

    This will be a percentage boost for WC despite the result

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
