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). 

Just look at clubs NSW with the latest data breach. " Oh just go and replace your ID documents such as driver licences".

Mmm, not so easy.

    What more can a coach do if his medical staff have cleared a guy to play and he's ticked all boxes?

    Sometimes the only thing a recovered hamstring injury is susceptible to is another hamstring injury.

    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.

    #classic Demonland.

    Defence works 999,999 times.

    It's doesn't work on the millionth occasion and it's all doom and gloom

    Careful @Demonland. It’s not as if we’ve got the best finals form line recently, either.

    It's also not a one-way street. I've noticed in the past that the MFC is one organisation to have acquired my data from a third party.

    BT just described about JHF when he had the ball, actually said the horney one. What the hell

    One stage I heard him saying something along the lines of "been lots of dirty balls tonight" referencing Port's inside 50 entries.

    Yes, Port are a dirty team but BT... too far man.

    If anything happens in footy this week more stupid than playing someone a single WEEK after a hamstring tear, it’ll have to be REALLY stupid.

    And that wasn't even the stupidest thing.

    Rozee slightly hyper extended his leg, in much the same way as he did to hurt it the previous week (a weird action I've not seen before in terms of a hammy injury - is that a common way to hurt a hammy @Webber?)

    Was clearly limping. Went to the bench for 9 minutes or some such.

    AND CAME BACK ON, before getting subbed off a short time after.

    Hinkley said he erred selecting him, but was adamant there was no risk of further damage by putting him back out on the field.

    He may well be right, but if you think it was a unnecessary risk picking him, why double down and risk putting him back on?

    Variations thereof, yes. Hamstring tears occur substantially at full pace acceleration on the leading leg. Just after the foot secures in the turf, the hamstring load goes from 0 to 100 in order to pull the body through. That’s when they happen - maximal tension at full length. The idea of not making it worse by sending him back on is wishful thinking at best, delusion at worst. Staggering stuff. I don’t get it.

    Rozee should not have been playing and should not have come on for a second time either. The insanity is partially explained by the fact that Port hate, hate the Crows. Its not some puffed up faux rivalry, they really can't stand each other (I have a work colleague who supports the Crows and another who follows Port).

    Kenny is getting pretty desperate I think. They extended his contract but if they continue to falter and lose the same way as they have done for a little while now I think they'll move him on, with the succession plan already in motion. Cornes this morning suggesting the loss felt a lot bigger for Port than just a 'regular' loss and that maybe it sums up a lot about Hinkley and what he's done over the years. He's been there a long time now and they still appear a bit flakey to me.

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

    Another nnon-universal rule of the AFL.

    I am mystified by how far players can run when kicking-in after a behind.  I'd assume they can't run more than 15m from the end of the goal square. Yet they often run much much further than that and it would be easy for the umps to judge given they have a 9m ruler nearby.  Am I missing a rule?

    Thank goodness I'm working tonight so I don't have to see a second of the game. Although it will be a massive crowd and an interesting game

    As horrible as both of these teams are, I am looking forward to watching this game.

    Hoping for a very fair, close and clean game.

    And may they smash each other into next year!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      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.
