    Kentfield has done nothing. After watching this game I know know why we went last night without a reserve ruckman. A poor lot by any measure.

    Yep. baffling draft choice IMO. project player way off it at the moment when there was ample ready made depth available

    Yes but Fullarton was recruited primarily as a back up ruck to Gawn. He is a mile off it. As a ruck rover type he has been good so far today but that is a bit of an outlier. JVR and Petty are stronger in the ruck than him.

    there's always room for another ruck-rover-mid type

    i think fullarton was recruited as a back-up to jvr

    tall forward who can relief ruck as required

    you wouldn't pick him over jvr nor petty or turner either based upon this year's standard of play

    Would be nice if Casey could have someone in their forward line. Have lost count of the number of times they've had an empty 50

    And who does he replace? He Waa not recruited for that role anyway. We're desperate for a genuine back up ruck.

    Last nights umpires on overtime? Casey can’t buy a free kick i50.

    Laurie looks good - would like to see him replace Sparrow 

    I wouldn't chook. He is a VFL player.  NQR at senior level.

    And I do wonder if he can play the role We are making sparrow play better than sparrow?

    Stats don’t look great, but agreed that a) I’d play him again in the vfl this year and b) there is a rookie spot for him.

    I'd prefer to see Pup Brown rather than Bailey get a proper run in the seniors rather than just get splinters in his rrrse.

    • 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.
