Especially for a fair dinkum footy act.

 I mean let's be consistent at least.

Is Maynard one of the league's players most hated players?

    Got a feeling the Eagles have a big late out and will be poor against the Saints. Just our luck they had one of their strongest sides and absolutely set them selves for us.

    Tim Kelly out hurts them. Have a feeling too that the Saints will get a rare win.

    I’m still scratching my head as to why West Coast looked like a comprehensively better side that day than us. If you were new to the game you’d assume West Coast were a top 4 team and Melbourne were a bottom 4. The loss of Lever hurt but you can’t just blame it all on that.

    The game won't be saved by the change of interpretation to the HTB rule.

    Reckon i just watched three throws in a row and at least two incorrect disposals completely ignored by the same ump within about 5 contests.

    He put this whistle to his mouth about twice but no courage to pay the correct decision and just threw his hands up instead to play on.

    This was all with line of sight right in front of him no excuses.

    The horror show circus continues!

    aside from that choke against Port they’d be 5 on the trot and looking at finals

    their forward line is built around ground level smalls providing ground pressure - moore, ginnivan - plus an aging breust and gunston, and a spare parts option in chol

    they've got a gun father-son in dear for the future tho

    really, the best tall forwards come out of the first round, academy, or father-son selections

    I like the Crows list, their best players are very good, and I keep on expecting them to "emerge". Enough is enough. I am not a fan of coach sacking but Nicks has had 5 seasons, and they simply cannot play 4 quarters of decent footy, and too often play slack, boring, risk-free footy. 

    The young Hawks are the opposite. I love the way they are playing. Their young, no-name players are playing with hunger and aggression.

    didn't nicks get a new deal at the start of the season? their form away from the adelaide oval and without tex is a massive issue for his job security

    their forward structure is really missing thilthorpe

    Was it the same teammate he badly burnt earlier in that same quarter? Ginnivan ignored him on his own in the goal-square and missed the shot.

    It was Day. Nothing happened between them in that last bit of play, so you could be right, it may have been something that happened earlier in the quarter. Perhaps Ginnivan made some sort of snarky comment as they were leaving the ground.

    Regardless of what happened, it’s never good to see animosity between teammates. Take that sch!tt to the rooms.

    they have the same fwds as when they won flags in Gunston and Bruest. Or do you mean Moore and Ginnivan? hardly reliable scoring small fwds

    Why couldn't waterman & Kelly been late outs against us? I bet west coast don't perform like that again for the rest of the season.

    Ginnivan didn't have time to comment, as soon as the team mates got around him, Day busted through, gave him a mouthful and some really big shoves.

    Yep, it was Day who got burnt earlier, but it was not a good look at all. Quite surreal to see a team mate so angry like that.

    Yeah, when I saw the first couple of shoves I thought Day was celebrating in a ‘macho, blokey’ kind of a way, but as it continued, it certainly did, as you say, seem very surreal.

    • 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.
