As devastating as it was to lose finals in the last two years coming in as top four, at least we put up a fight. This is just deplorable from Port Adelaide.

    I know Geelong and Chris Scott are equally disliked on Demonland but their ability to challenge more often than not is amazing.

    Does Ken even last to the Semi's, this is an epic fail. I am truly staggered at how one sided just tuning in now.

    How do you rate Petracca’s skills just out of curiosity?

    Not sure how Trac came into this conversation….

    Geelong have only been out of the top eight, 5 times, since 2004

    Their midfield is so average. The only stars they have are JC, Stewart and an aging Danger. Their role players are still high quality but Scott is the master strategist.

    It’s a very good effort and also sickening.

    Their role players have a lot of skill, the ball control tonight has been top shelf

    It’s what we’ll run and coached sides do. I’m a bit shirty tonight watching Port, who finished second get smashed while our club is out of the finals and is in the news for all the wrong reasons.

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

    Fair dinkum, this is the best example of tall poppy syndrome. I don't care how much of a campaigner Danger is, he's an outstanding footballer, like having a go at the All Blacks, you can hate em, but respect for what he's done over the journey. At 34 and a 1/2, he's still above his average for disposals and had an impact on metres gained.

    Scott is a great coach, but he also has two completely unique star players like:

    Blicsavs. He is a freak. Plays any position and on any size player. Small or large. More times than not, he gets the job done. 
     

    Gryan Miers also broke the all time record for goal assists last year. People love to hate him, but he is a master of inside 50 kicks.

    I would kill to have Miers in our team.

    I don’t and can’t respect Danger. I stand by my point. 
     

    Ask Danger how tall he is and divide it by a good margin.

    Apparently ginnivan is at the London tavern watching the game. Sam Mitchell is aware.

    After going to the races gf eve last year & winning I guess he's sticking with tradition

    The ultimate chokers the Powa, all style, no substance.

    We need to find a Tall Forward with presents.

    Look at the tall fella who has come on this year in forward line, Neale can take a mark and is agile.

    That's all we need, both years in our straight sets exits our Forward structure has been appalling.

    Watching a Qualifying final just blows my mind that we had 4 chances to make a prelim and blew every one of them in ‘22 and ‘23. Statistical chances of that happening would be awfully low.

    It’s almost like Port must have a virus running through the team.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
