    Pies getting their turnover game together off HB the last few weeks.  Bit of a worry

    More stoppages. Less chaos. More contest to contest. Exactly how we beat them Kings Birthday last year.

    You can’t panic, and try and run and gun. That’s how they want it.

    Does anyone else find it funny that Buckley has been involved with the Pies almost non stop for 35 years, yet only played in 3 losing GFs and missed the two GF wins?

    IIMO the difference in forward structures tonight is akin to what we’ll see tomorrow night. One team with two bigs and not much by way of small goal kickers, and the other with one tall (yet to score) and one or two dangerous smalls (Elliot, Daicos).

    Only looking to see the Blues strengths and weaknesses. Fair chance we’ll be playing the Blues with them coming off two losses.

    Just so I could watch Joel Selwood interview a 10 year old auskicker. 

    He was so uncomfortable.

    Maynard drives his head into the turf and the commentators give it the all clear. He obviously took a dive and drove his own head into the turf.

    Such a dog.

    He'll get off again.

    It was such a textbook piledrive from Maynard, I'm hoping a few weeks.

    Commentary so putrid about it - if there was ever a player with prior form.

    Owies flipped him. Dislike Maynard all you want (I most definitely do) but that was all on Owies.

    The Pies tackling has got them back into the game. They were asleep for the first 10 minutes.

    Copy and paste this into the notes on your phone BDA. I post it every week.

    I take back what I said about the Blues not having a small forward.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
