AFL - Round 4 (non MFC Games)

I reckon if you're within touch at 3 quarter time vs Port you're a chance. Their game plan seems to be really taxing and they have to be careful not to fade for the second half of the year.

It's interesting because last year Port was the competition's stand out fourth quarter side. They ran out games better than anyone.

Don't forget who they've played so far - Fremantle, Sydney, North and Hawthorn. That's the best three sides in the comp plus a preliminary finalist and possibly the 5th best side in the competition as well. Could not have had a harder first month.

They'll be fine.

Freo have now beaten 3 of last year's top 6 teams (and thrashed WCE). They are hunting down a top 2 spot as they know they can't win the GF unless they do. Expect them to be more rulthless than usual. Will be a good test of our aggressive play. Looking forward to it.

They look much better this year than they did when they made the GF in 2013. More firepower up front, Fyfe is even better, more midfield rotations (e.g. Lachie Neale), better back up for Sandilands.

Other than Sydney being really really good, I'm not sure what changed in the second half to turn the game in Sydney's favour, but whatever it was, you'd hope we're able to work out something and use it on Sunday. If we don't, and we let them start against us like they did against Sydney, we'll be done by half time.

Some Geelong player that I don't really know is tearing it up a little at the Cattery. Not too concerned though, since it's not our club.

Hes started very well Chook, hard to watch

Teams don't pull up well from playing the Dees, hey?

GC lose terribly to St Kilda, GWS nowhere near Sydney and now Adelaide getting smashed by the Dogs. Don't bet on the Tigers next week…oh..

How good is Todd Goldstein? He's rucked completely alone all day, and he's running over the top of Blicavs, Stanley and Clark. Continuing to contest at the stoppages and in the backline.

Was thinking the same thing. Been getting his own ball and clearing it like a mid. Very good game.

It's a pity we drew Adelaide over there in a second consecutive road trip, they're obviously not nearly as good as they think they are.

Good on the Dogs though. A year in which the Bulldogs and Melbourne are far more competitive and Geelong is far more inept will be a great year, not just for me selfishly, but for the competition.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
