My thoughts exactly the VFL shouldn't be playing finals at a ground used for cricket. The centre wicket area and the practice wickets where Salem went down head first would be as hard as concrete. Not acceptable VFL! And it as if Port is some boutique stadium, it's a bit of a dump. 

 

port melb ground has always been a dump, earl. pathetic decision by vfl to play finals there

    Don't think it was the tackler people were angry about, it was the dirty [censored] who threw the knees in after he had been knocked out

    Was #1

    Bull. You do that by tackling harder, getting to the ball first. Hitting a guy after his taken a mark is loosing focus

    No it's not the mark was taken, what do you think teams like Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn do, the first two are still in the finals

    Trying to ignore the regular thread derail-ers but can anyone at the game can give some decent analysis as to why Casey is six goals up?

    Salem was killing it before going off. Joel Smith will be a serious player. Dunn and Oliver probably our best. ANB whilst he wins the ball well is unfortunately a  very limited footballer. Important to get a couple of early goals to put it beyond doubt.

    Give away 50 meter penalties from gut punches that result in goals ?

    Just went and checked the practice wicket area where Salo hit his head. Relieved to say that it's still reasonably soft ground underneath and there's some good grass cover. Just not as grassy as the rest of the ground. I saw the hit and it looked bad, but at least he's not hit a concrete type surface.

    Working harder than Willie. Dunn has been huge in cutting off Willie,  and Salem and Oliver have looked very good setting us up going forward

    Weids is struggling. Although it doesn't seem like conditions are made for talls today.

    Has a very good defender playing on him, and he just doesn't have the strength to get near it. The few times he has he's been worried out of it.

    Yeah, definitely needs to work on his endurance over summer.

    Weed, Kennedy, ANB, Michie, even Trenners and Newton are not on their usual dominant form today. Yet. 

    Reckon we're missing Grimes a lot.

    I think they said in the telecast that he was up in the rooms but obviously wouldn't play any further part today

    Our defence has been really dominant, so almost every attack has bounced right back out. Our midfield looks a lot faster and they are running hard to support each other, so we get lots of uncontested handball receives. Smith and Kielty have been marking well up forward, although The Weed is getting smashed.

    salem just eats up the ground in front of him. losing him today is a big blow; hopefully as long as we maintain control he'll be right for the big dance next week.

     

    too good for vfl level, as is oliver. hopefully he doesn't cop a suspension.

     

    dunn is much the better player than he or garland.

     

    trengove, anb and kennedy look like good vfl players rather than afl players performing at vfl level. weideman just looks out of touch, big time, but at least he keeps leading up and presenting.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
