Don't know why, on such a windy day, they think that up-and-unders in Robbo's general direction are a good tactic. How many times is he going to get it against 3 opponents all 10cm taller than him? Has to be the lowest-percentage play possible.

robbo is a low percentage non trying footballer, iv been watching fall to the ground for 12 seasons, hes a disease in that forward line,if he didnt play with neitz beside him for 200 odd games he would be lucky to have 250 goals beside his name,he simply doesnt try when the opposition have the ball.

Jurrah about the only one that's shown something in my books (and Bruce is battling away hard in his 200th). His (Jurrah) pass to Petterd to set up our first goal was exquisite. Also, I think Bartram might be playing for his career and is playing really well, I think he can hold his head high. However, today Geelong are a cut above us.

Interesting to hear everyones thoughts on the Female commentator.

I don't think Richo is bringing much to the table.

Why are we bothering?

The umpires are going to make sure that the Cats win the premiership this year. Just call it off now - hand them the flag, hand us scully and we can all concentrate on how poor the Aussie cricket team are (don't get me started on those impires!!!!).

Seriously, the 1st half today was the most biased, 1 sided display of umpiring i've seen all year. You can't touch Geelong, and nothing they do gets paid. Its not like they need the assistance.

This game will please everyone. We lost as we knew we would so the tankers are happy, but we showed plenty, especially the young guns (but god how we need Scully!). Take away the charity goals and the junk-time goals to the Cats and it's even better.

Yep a great result.

The first quarter was the thing that killed us, because from there we won two of the three remaining quarters and really did well shutting Geelong's attack off the half back line... except for bloody Scarlett, who might be the only defender that needs to be defended!

The best aspect of today was that Jurrah, Grimes, Bennell and Morton showed the most exciting glimpses out on the ground, which gives us a lot of hope.

Jurrah and Grimes are on their way to superstardom, and Morton up forward is definitely a good future prospect.

To our credit we didn't completely crap ourselves after the first quarter and stood up.

The margin is about right when the worst team in the competition (apologies to Freo), play the best team in the competition.

Absolutely agree on Jurrah Grimes Bennell and Morton, but i'm surprised nobody has mentioned Bate. He was really good today, kicked some great goals and put on a lot of pressure up the ground. He may have been crap early in the season, but lately he's been showing a lot. If he keeps this up he's definitely going to be sticking around.

Master Bate played an excellent game today. Put him in front of a class Midfield & he will perform no doubt.

Agree on Bater! He is having a decent year in a forwardline that has been getting some pretty ordinary delivery from the midfield. Big future for Bater IMO

Call me sexist but i couldnt stand Kelli Underwoods call today, her voice is horrible, she makes alot of mistakes and she goes way over the top on nothing plays. If it was a male commentator she d be laughed off. But then when you look at blokes like Wallsy i probably shouldnt criticise..............

I don't like her voice really, Just started to listen to it but it's doing nothing for me.

Don't really like hearing tim lane's voice either.

Not a good voice for radio either. Actually she looks much better than she sounds. Needs some timbre. Actually, as a woman, she could rightly get away with a few "what a turn on" (s) and "delicious" (s).

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
