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!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
