    Even after a disastrous year, we still were ranked 4th in Score Source Differential from Centre Bounces and 3rd from Stoppages. Not bad for a second string midfield with no skill and one paced.

    Keep thinking that gameplan will work, and if you think our midfield has pace and skill then you remind me of the coyote in roadrunner keeps trying bit never gets it.....

    Is it a coincidence that you didn’t mention Power much more successful than Hawks over the last 7-8 years dfa?

    No it was deliberate - and it could be unfair.  But I don't really rate Port because they have been flat track bullies and capitulated in big games more than most.  I'm not saying they / they're coaches wouldn't have anything to offer us (I don't mind watching them as a neutral).  But I don't think they have a great system - I think it is more based around some very good stars. Admittedly they beat the hawks but the hawks are younger, played an exciting brand which took them a long way while missing crucial chess pieces (eg defenders that will join in the offseason, Mitch Lewis and maybe another midfield star).

    If it wasn't about the list of players we have, I'd love us to play more of a run and gun style that is still defensively sound which many of the better teams are doing / starting to do.

    Glad we’re adding Bassett — if we can nab Sloane I think that’ll prove to be two excellent additions. Tis also great to see we got ahead of this one and knew it was coming instead of being caught out! Really like Sloane culturally and think he can add energy and who know what Bassett has tactically but has some big fans in the industry!!!

    Saw a headline “king to get Eagles job” - Damien Barrett with the scoop.  Nekminit - it’s Mini!  These media floggies dont get held to account for any of the fecal matter they drop.

    Wow really must have made a great impression. 

    So who's our new midfield coach then?

    Yeah well, he was in charge of our misfiring midfield this year, can we get someone that knows how to postion, and create separation, and win clearances?

    • 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.
