I know JHF does lots of "look at me stuff" but he and Butters are the only two Port players having a crack and chucking themselves at it. 

Port playing like the pretenders they are. 

Port are the textbook definition of downhill skiers. Hate pressure.

    Do you know why Temu is so cheap? They actually make their money by selling your personal details on to third-parties (including criminal networks). 

    They all do it. I read today that there’s a class action lawsuit happening in the US against the Match Group - who make Tinder, Hinge, OKCupid and essentially all the dating apps. They’ve been selling personal information (including people’s hiv status and sexual preferences) to third parties, while also deliberately hiding likely dating matches from people, to keep them on the apps.

    We are living in the Wild West of digital tech. It’s horrendous.

    15m in Melbourne must be about 30m in Adelaide as both JHF and Rankine have run a mile without bouncing.

    That rule is long dead along with kicking in danger DW.

    Powers mids of Rozee, Butters and JHF all need to play well to give them a good shot of winning. It falls away very quickly after that.

    Much like our own problems with the midfield. We need all of Trac, Viney & Clarry to be playing well, as our depth ain’t that flash either. 

    Difference is we can get away with it given our defence, port don’t have that

    I figure through all the cyber attacks we have already had, most criminal enterprises have pretty much everyone’s details anyway.

    BT had another fantastic night in the booth.

    Started his night by mixing up Butters and Rozee, you know only 2 of Port’s highest profile players. Then ended the night by informing the viewers that Adelaide are off to Darwin to host Brisbane, despite Adelaide never playing a home game in Darwin and probably never will.

    Port are falling apart with injuries.

    I'm not sure too many D'landers will know this, but bad kicking is bad football.

    That was such a Melbourne like circa 2023 loss by Port.

    I rate him as a player. Hard at it, honest player.

    He’s a great player for sure. His speech after winning the showdown medal was hilarious though… cheers for coming out tonight, cheers to the boys, cheers. 😅

    'Master orator'?

    Just be a bit careful there, WCW.

    Or maybe you were being?...

    Yes that is true. Our defence is all time legendary. 

    God help us when our backline eventually breaks from being relied upon for the millionth time.

    • 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.
