Anybody willing to give this ageing queen a rundown on how Oliver is going? I’m really wanting him to stick it far up some people this year

Clarry just did the most superb candy-sell on the run right in front of me, then dished off a perfect handball. My heart sang. He’s back, baby!

    Umps let play for a minute after the 3 minutes ended?

    What was the plus 3 minutes thing? For those not watching.

    Campbell is definitely holding his own in the ruck. His experience and size will make him a very worthwhile acquisition

    Jack Billings looks in good touch too. He’s a whipping boy on here but he looks more sleek and has used the ball well including kicking a snag.

    Did he look confident kicking the goal? Last year I reckon it was too much in his head and put too much pressure on himself. When he was doing setshots in particular you could see how nervous he looked and didn't want to kick it and more times than not missed, and missed easy goals.

    Taj Woewodin has been impressive as well on the wing.

    Consider our keys not playing, and the horrible wind, that was a very good half. The old guard who are out there are doing their thing….Petty and Lever dominant, AMW very good (he takes Knuckles spot for mine), Jed Adams v good (lovely left foot), Bowey and Howes same. Kozzy, Clarrie and Riv carrying the very undermanned midfield. Langford getting lots, and using well, same XL, fabulous left foot included (great signs that they’re totally comfortable). Taj, Billings, Sparrow and Sharp doing well. Roo, Jeffo and Disco all working hard (wind is killing forward 50 marks) to create options and contests. Oh, and what a relief to have Tom Campbell this year for Max relief, he’s just plug n play competitive, and making Xerri v grumpy.

    Agree with the set shots last year. His goal was a snap from the pocket.

    Laurie looks like he finally has some size in his legs and torso

    He might surprise a few this year

    Benny Brown picking up the commentator saying Jared Rivers rather than Trent Rivers was gold 😂

    Ben Brown as a commentator. Early days and learning his craft. Perhaps the new Kelli Underwood. !!! 

    I hope not for his sake.

    North got the rub if the first half but wow that’s a decision. Save those for round 1 

  • Quote

    Kayo are counting a goal scored by North during a scenario training where we were 8 points up and had to defend. Technically the score is  54-36 I think

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • 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?
