    After a hiatus caused by my Manorial duties your good old Uncle Bitter will be back at the G today to watch us play the Dorks.

    I'm [censored] that Viney is out as I love watching him play. He gets some stick on this forum - and that baffles me. I know he's not pretty but jeez I'd have his name inked onto the team sheet before the selection meeting starts.

    JVR comes in and needs to show what he can do. I saw him leading and taking one grabbers in the pre season and tipped him for a breakout year. Confidence is an elusive entity.

    Jeffo showed some promise before injury but he is still a question mark. However, as that esteemed judge of all things football @picket fence rates him highly, I expect him to do a bit.

    Clarrie is back - please show us you are still the champ we know.

    Some commentators on this forum expect Fritta to play a defensive forward role. It's not him. He's an opportunist and a goal kicker - give him licence to do that. If we are going to win today, we need score involvements from Fritsch.

    Turner will have to play back. That's not a bad thing as his athleticism will be handy against The Dork's small forwards.

    Max is coming up against a decent ruck today so a big one from him could decide the issue.

    This is a huge game for us and due to our ****ty start it will be genuinely season defining.

    We need a few things to click today but ...... Dees by 21 !

    I’m quietly confident, which is a hell of a lot better than I would have been a month ago! We’ve been slowly building over the last there rounds, and if we can maintain the pressure for four quarters this arvo, I reckon we are ‘over the line’. The big question is can we do it without Vines? Of course we can! Dees by 15. ❤️💙

    Good to have you back Uncle.

    It's nice to have a decent wordsmith here at work with someone footy nous and positivity.

    My uncles have all gone to footy heaven except for Uncle Mex of course who was a rabid pies supporter.

    So I was wondering if you could adopt me as a footy nephew. I won't expect any birthday cards.

    It can be totally honorific in title but it would warm the cockles of my soul. Perhaps the sub cockle regions. It's seems all my Melbourne relatives are croaking. Most of them saw the 21 Gf at least except my dear departed dad who would have been happy as Larry. Well maybe happier because that was in fact his name. You don't meet too many Larry's these days. While it was only a couple of weeks ago, I was saying to my good wife Beatrice... coincidentally another unusually name that I've only met two Larry's ever. One being my dad and another at a servo in Bendigo one cold winters day. I said to him...

    Whoops ....I started to lose my train of thought there.....phew...

    Go Dees.

    My kids will be kicked out of the house if they decide to follow the hawks or any other team for that matter.

    That won’t happen though. I’ve indoctrinated them well

    Go DWhich way do you button your pants Leavie


    Let's go boys! Viney is indeed a big out, but hopefully we can cover him. Claz to step up and Sparrow to run with Day. Think we can do it, but if Hawks get a run on they'l be hard to stop.

    Day's not playing, poor kid has a broken foot which may end his career.

    Oh my bad, shows how much Hawksball I watch!


    It’s game day baby. Pumped!

    Let’s rip the wings off the Hawks before they strike.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
