Good win on the road for the Blues ... a very good win ... powerful 4th quarter. First time beating an Adelaide Club at Adelaide Oval actually.

    Not peaking yet. Still more injured players to come back.

    Nah, peaking now and you don't win flags in May as they always say.

    Also apart from Cerra, Cottrell and Martin they are close to full strength.

    Port are perennial pretenders though, we'll see...

    The original team has been on a training camp miles away and were on their way to the oppo home ground on GameDay. Their bus broke down and because their own town is at about the halfway mark between where they broke down and the oppo home ground but in the opposite direction, it was quicker to round up the misfits and take them to the game in the backup bus. 

    Did you write the script for the ad? 😄

    Agreed. But they are a tough opponent at home in Adelaide.

    I think they’re a team that had a patchy April and May but are now working into the season really nicely as evidenced by their last 2 games.

    I don’t want to play them in a final, if we’re good enough to make it.

    And it doesn’t help that their (Port’s) fans are so loud and there’s so many of them.

    Real talk: I can see them in the GF this year. The side is more balanced then ever and they aren't just scoring from stoppage now (apart from tonight). They've even found a use for Zac Willams now forward. It wasn't long ago when nothing seemed to work out for them, now it seems like its all falling their way. Very good side

    Sounded like almost equal numbers tonight. Hell of a lot of baggers there

    Carlton has a big following in both South Australia and Western Australia, so many club legends over the years hailed from these two states. The Blues will likely be aiming to draft the two Camporeale boys in the next draft (twin sons of Scott Camporeale who was in the 1995 Premiership team).

    Agree. They're quite far from peaking tbh, their last month has been up and down. Sydney are genuinely peaking and couldn't play any better - too early. 

    Blues were my flag tip before it all began and remain so - have all key items covered and their 2nd/3rd string layer are all contributing solidly and knowing their role. They've as a group also discovered the knack of winning - you can see it.

    They give me huge '21 Dees vibes and have done for about 18 months

    Carlton are a tough team to beat any given week, but still not sure on them defensively. Up to now they have conceded the 4th highest against. Wait and see if they fix that in the back half.

    What do you do next Sunday night??? Blues v Bombers...

    Yeah the balance of the list really reminds me of ours in 21, as well as the number of guys in career best form.

    unbelievable that they get a 10 day break after a game in adelaide whereas the peptides will be coming off a standard 7 day week after the humidity of playing gc17 up there

    they're trying to turn 'king's birthday eve' into a thing the way we and the tigs have turned 'anzac day eve' into a thing

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
