some of st Kilda's handball chains are comical. They are a very average football team.

They've over used it badly.   Particularly when they've done some good work prior through the middle to get it to a decent launching spot then go another handball instead of a quick kick inside and then turn the ball over.

They're also not quite as clean in general vs Port.

If they clean those two aspects up and start winning the odd center clearance they're still a reasonable chance though.

Port are very good rebound / sling shot show ponies and pretty decent at CBs but that's about it.

    Luke Darcy commentary. 

    Boundary dangerous tackle decision. Darcy "he deliberately smacked the ground with his free hand to exaggerate contact". 3 mins later with Alir. "Higgins is in trouble for that tackle as he pinned both arms" 
    Do they realise how f#%*&  stupid they sound?

    You can say that again.  Anything that resembles something that 'might' be a free to Port and that whistle's a blowin' quicker than you can say "Free kick Port"

    Exactly what I was thinking! I wondered if they at some point realised how ridiculous they were being but were too deep into the conversation to stop. Luke Hodge in particular sounded like he was realising the stupidity, mid-sentence. 😅

    Or podge. 
     

    Podge = obese.
     

    Obese rhymes with police.
     

    The police were lead by Sting. 
     

    Bees sting and they like flowers. 
     

    So I’ll call Hodge daffodil from now on.

    Hahahahahahahaha, can we get these chips into the balls next year please? Jesus

    Wait was that in??

    2nd edit - I think Daffodil was correct and it was just in.

    Fire that goal umpire. Goal umpire was in the best possible to call that a point. The ball was more than a metre over the line.

    These umpires, just their usual putrid performance. Why do we even have goal line umpires? They can't make a decision to save their lives.🤢🤢🤢

    7 frees to 1 that quarter. 20 to 8 for the game. 

    Port fans still booing the umpires.

    Yes the Adelaide teams always get a bad run from the umpires.

    Ask any Port fan and they will tell you that every one of the 8 frees Saints have got was an incorrect decision.

    how many weeks for higgins

    Shouldn’t be any. If you’re being tackled and still choose to try and make a disposal while off balance and about to hit your head if you hit the ground and choose not to brace yourself/body in favour of the potential disposalit’s all on you me thinks.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
