    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.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
