    Port have some big talent and are playing a good brand of football. This is making me feel even worse about our situation.

    JFC. Find something else to worry about.

    I hate this manufactured “rivalry” that’s come about from one silly interaction between Hinkley and Sicily last year. Proper rivalries are organic and take a lot longer to develop.

    Why can’t we just play a game of flippin’ footy without having to rely on drama to garner interest?

    Eh?

    This rivalry actually IS organic

    The players and the clubs genuinely don’t like each other, dating back long before Hinkley / Ginnivan / Sicily

    Soft free to give Hawks the last goal I thought. Port’s ball handling has been something to behold. It’s frenetic ball movement but it just keeps coming off for them, and their system means there are team mates always nearby to receive, unlike us. They are making the Hawks look like a bit like us. I suspect Mitchell will make a few changes and the Hawks will give it a big crack in the second half.

    Whatever comes out will get 1 day in the news, way down the runsheet then be buried. Cats get the best media run in the game

    the only other player that has gone to prison is benny cousins, this will all be much bigger then that of that what he has done or accused of is 1000x worse, the stengle incident and all that other bs will come out after it

    I can hear Wheatley already “incredibly sad day for a club that does so much right, to be let down like this must have Geelong people scratching their heads.. etc” before moving on and never mentioning it again

    I don’t recall any rivalry between them. But even so, the focus on the whole aeroplane thing is overkill.

    That paragon of football media, Paul Wheatley, I assume?

    You’re loving this, aren’t you. Revelling, I’d say. Happy as a pig in sch!tt. Giddy with excitement. Not even an hour ago another Demonlander messaged me to vent about posters who can barely conceal their joy at the position our club’s in. Your name was exhibit A. and not for the first time. I don’t expect you’ll rein it in, just wanted to let you know how cringe it is.

    Cheers happy jack 😉

    Started when they appointed Clarkson mid finals series, escalated when they poached junior Burgoyne, exploded with the finals series last year

    The clubs genuinely don’t like each other

    Lots of clubs genuinely don’t like each other but the hype leading up to the match isn’t off the charts like this.

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
