It's before 11.00 - I'm still sober.

Before 11! That's no excuse

 

Being sober before 11 on game day is for the weak!

Port by 15 for mine - They're coming off a couple bad loses and will come out firing.
 

Earliest game day thread in recent memory. Me thinks a few are a bit excited about this one.

Would be a massive chapter in our revival if we could snag 2 in a row for the first time since 2011, given we have 3 or 4 very winnable games in June and July.

Most excited I've been for the year, I reckon.

dee s by 13 pts


Very worried about this one. Boak is going to rip us a new one. Have to shut him down.

what happened to the speculations that he would be a late out?

He will be when I run him over in Todd St.
 

Carn Dees - for my b'day weekend PLEASE!

Will be a good test for the boys coming off a stirring win to see if we can go back-to-back wins for the first time in 4 years!

Being awake on game day before 11 is for the old and the weak.

Pretty excited for this game, which is a worrying sign.


From BigFooty:

"on 5AA they just mentioned that Boaky got a poke in the eye (from training) and his eye is closed"

YES!!!!!!!!!!! but he'll obviously still play.

got a feeling today is the day Jeffrey Garlett really gets hold of an opposition

.

Agree this ground will suit him with contested ball deep in our foward line and he looked dangerous last week always in the right spot at the right time , todays the day .

Maybe he can get a position in the Collingwood Cheer Squad? They are all one-eyed!

Would still be a better umpire than Razor Ray


YES!!!!!!!!!!! but he'll obviously still play.

Let's poke him in the other eye as well - That'll sort him out :)

Is there a legal way to watch online? Normally I get to a pub with foxtel but can't today.

Ox if you haven't got an AFL Live Pass, you can follow the instructions here to sign up and get a free trial. You can watch on a phone, tablet, ipad. If you have an apple tv or chromecast you may be able to zing it on to your telly. That's what I'll be doing.

I don't think they should risk him. Just give him a week off, please.

If that were true he wouldn't be playing

5AA are full of [censored]

Surprised Fitz has been named forward pocket. Would have thought the was the perfect type (gangly, unco-looking bean pole) to match up on Westhoff.

Pretty pleased with our defensive match-ups overall.

McDonald on Shultz will be great to watch.

Jetta on Wingard a top duel, too.

Also looking forward to Hogan v Carlisle. Can't see any other Port players available who are able to match up on him.

There is also the interesting battle of the lesser lights in the ruck. Spencer v Lobbe. Two rucks most famous for their tackling!

Ahh, I expect to enjoy this match as a genuine tussle!

I think Fitzpatrick was named in the pocket last week as well

Anyway - I doubt he'd have the tank to run with the Hoff

I can see us winning but I'm going to subscribe to my "tip the teams I want to lose" theory today. Port gets my tip.

That way if I drop the tip, at least the consolation prize is the team I wanted to win, won. Case in point, tonight's match between Essendon and Richmond. 50/50 call, but I'd hate to tip Richmond and see Essendon win. Conversely, I'd happily tip Essendon and see them lose. Worth dropping the point for! :lol:

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
