Sorry to hear Sam Frost will miss the rest of the year through a stress fracture.  Would have like him to have had the opportunity to play more finals.

    Footy is mostly disappointing, so Port and Bris to win and be cannon fodder for Cats n Swans. Then Cats to beat Sydney by 5 goals. Boooo

    Did ed richards not get suspended for that hit? I don't think he did.

    Seriously he was lucky he didn't break a jaw. That could have been a sickening hit. You can't just hit someone like that. It's a strike.

    Anyway just hope gws and hawks win this week

    I'm so sick of hearing about Hawthorn and Hokball, I find myself in the unfamiliar position of hoping that Port Adelaide kick their smug brown and gold backsides this week.

    I’m hoping Port wins just to see what scarf Albo wears for the Prelim Finals

    Hawthorn are in excellent form & will likely beat Port. 
     

    That said any Melbourne supporter who says they’re happy to see Hawthorn playing finals should be locked in a cell for a week & made to watch the ‘87 prelim on repeat

    A noteworthy fact for those who think the Demons are finished as a footy team because they missed out on the finals this year with 11 wins.

    Of the four teams playing in semi final weekend 

    • we defeated HokBall earlier this year 93 - 39 before it even existed as a thing;

    • we defeated Port Adelaide in Adelaide during Gather Round and lost to them by a mere 2 points late in the season;

    • we lost to the Giants by only 2 points at the MCG in the latter part of the season; and

    • we lost to the Lions by 5 points in Brizvegas after they received a controversial late free kick that resulted in a miracle goal from the boundary.

    Those three narrow defeats were all in the last half of the season when the team was wounded. Add CP5 to the lineup and who knows? We might have made the finals.

    Let’s also not forget that we were the first to beat the Cats, now in a preliminary final and we also lost to another finalist, Carlton, by a point in a game that could have gone either way. 

    Still, I have to defer to that brilliant football strategist “No Diamond Left Joe” and that man who will never win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism who tell me the coach is no good.

    A very interesting scenario in betting odds tonight.

    Despite finishing second on the ladder, well above the Hawks and playing at home with a loud supporter base, Port Adelaide are not favorites to win on any betting site.

    And despite the Power's victory run in the last 6 home and away games, the Hawks seem very strong contenders with all the bookies.

    Will they bow out in straight sets like us?

    How much noise will there be.

    Losing 2 at home where the advantage is not the same at our Mcg is bigger news.

    In normal circumstances, it would be hard to resist backing Port but the Hawks ability to rapidly gain momentum and boot bags of five will most likely see them through.

    Plus I hate the Power as much as Hawthorn but I hate Port's toothless supporters even more.

    😀

    Enjoy the game.

    Ps. Sad that we smashed the Hawks earlier in the season and accounted for the Power at Adelaide Oval.

    Such a hard case to find a team to support in these finals.

    Probably the Johnny come lately in  GWS.

    Go Giants.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
