I did see that photo too and there was a notable player (Trac) not present. There were others too so im not reading much into it, however the reason i raise the point, is that the media havent raised it either (yet). Just wanted to put a watch on whether they'll hang onto this to use for another time.

Tracc’s probably still in the ice bath or in the kitchen.😁😁👍

    Was it Goody who said he loves what the players are doing off the ball?

    For those who are bagging out Spargo, perhaps it is what he does off the ball, as opposed to his possessions.

    Jeff Whites analysis showed how important is that players are setting up when they don’t have the footy, particularly defensively. Maybe Spargo does this better than most.

    In the last month the game plan seems to be bearing fruit. Could Spargo be a shining example of how they should be setting up? Is this the reason why he is being picked? I don’t pretend to have the answers, but being picked because he is a Goodwin favourite seems unlikely.

    As good as Melksham's little dinky kick over the top to Langdon was in the last, that goal doesn't come if it wasn't for Spargo. Didn't register a touch in the leadup to the goal, but he read Payne's kick beautifully and caused an intercept.

    Stunning win and I was lucky enough to be there with my Dee old school mate Dive.

    Unexpectedly lovely drive home to the Sunshine Coast.

    Note how disinterested the Lion's supporters up the back are.

    • 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.
