Feels like other clubs are much better at identifying talented smalls (that impact games) than us.
 

We have Kosi, yes, but he cost us pick 12 and that’s about all we have (I’m not a huge Chandler fan).

    Elite ball use in finals goes a long way. No Farrell and Houston hurts, let’s see how good Port are.

    Port are looking exceedingly ordinary so far, again…..

    Apart from the Butters kick and Burton finish they’ve done sfa.

    Danger is the most over hyped and over rated footballer in recent times. 

    I mean he’s probably 2-3 years passed his prime?

    The finals paradigm used to be ‘tough, contested footy’, which we aimed to master.

    This game is quick and the team executing well is on top.

    Our preferred style of footy out of date in the regular season and now out of date in the offseason.

    That pass to Georgiadis!
    He missed the shot, but what a pass and lead and mark!

    Yeah? Nah. 
    Pressure still trumps everything.

    Ooooft, I dunno, in my mind prime danger was streaming out of the middle and hitting leading forwards on the chest. He is definitely a player I would say over the last ten years can win games off his efforts.

    But that’s just me

    Nah. 
    Different game. 
    Neither team cares much whether the opposition kicks 100pts - as long as they kick 101pts.

    Goal Fest!!!
    My tip is Port. The game has to tighten up and i rank Port's defence over Cats.

    8 all australian selections is a fair effort

    • 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.
