    Both having quiet nights. Blakey.  Heeney. Gulden.  Too much run for port.  

    If Grundy & Jordan get premierships medals they will definitely be laughing

    I'd be rapt for JJ to be in another gf & actually be on the ground. But thinking ahead it would blow my mind if he became a 2 time premiership player

    Luke Parker’s 5 th grand final. Time the AFL took away the NSW academies or at least out of the first round. 
     

    It’s BS how much talent they get access to.

    I reckon he just got held himself at the throw in but they let it go because of this.

    L watch Grundy in the CBs... he only has eyes for his opponent and almost always runs over to where he is to place a block.  That's his first movement 90% of the time.

    That's fine if he gets back to the ball and touches it (according to the guidelines and Razor Ray).

    When he doesn't he needs to be called for blocking the opponent's run at the drop but rarely is.

    They called him a few times in the first quarter and then put the whistle away after.

    You could see Reg complaining as he couldn't believe someone was finally picking him up on this.

    He's gotten away with it far too often, especially the first half of the season before some umps started to crack down a tad more.

    Grundy 7 touches 5 clangers

    Jordon 7 touches 2 clangers. although keeping Butters a bit quiet

    Keep trolling away. 

    How is that trolling? I don't think @Demonsone was talking about their performance in this game.

    Its a fact that both wanted to leave the Dees to play in another teams best 22. They did and now they're both about to play in a premiership and have played their roles to get there... kudos to both of them.

    Port have kicked 2.3 in each quarter

    If they do it in the last Q it’ll be the first time in AFL history 

    *probably, haven’t checked

    I don't believe it is related to the academy. They have built a culture of relentless competitiveness. Have not seen a contest or a chase they haven’t committed to. Have seen Port, similar to last week, just not quite go hard enough when they've needed to. That is the difference between the Syd, Haw, Coll cultures and that of Port and us (amongst others).

    Do I really have to explain? The same people saying the same thing for 9 months to provoke a response

    Im beginning to doubt the poster is even a Demons fan. 

    We know the story, Grundy didn’t work so we sent him packing, Jordon not best 22 so he left, fair enough 

    Can we move on? or say the same stuff every week

    So you think if you removed Heeney, Mills, Blakey and Gulden from their team they’d be in the same position?

    They have a great attitude but They were gifted the above players that they would never have drafted.

    This Port team is one of the most ordinary teams to finish 2nd.

    It seems Port are playing like Melbourne- kick it long into the forward line and hope somebody marks it. Except they don’t.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
