    Dogs had one good moment at least, kicking a late goal to place us back in 7th spot.

    Port beat the swans in this game last year and possibly began the rot, which we fixed......I took Port 3/1 at half time.

    Oh yeah, and go Jack....opps. Come on jack, lift...

    Watts has been quiet. Zero goals and 10 possessions

    What has happened to the dogs, such a massive fall from grace, it’s like they thought bang we won a flag that will do us for another 50 years 

    1954 all over again.

    Port are better than I thought they were

    A lot of talk about their “Big 3” recruits but players like Bonner and Barry have added some more run and polish in their side from what I have seen early on.

    You’re not implying that Watts is a downhill skier are you?

    C Pederson: 6 Disposals, 4 Kicks, 2 Handballs, 3 Tackles, 0 scores in a far from convincing win against a bottom six team.

    J Watts: 10 Disposals, 4 Kicks, 6 Handballs, 5 Tackles, 0 scores in an impressive win against one of the best teams in the league.

    Neither set the world on fire but I wouldn’t be bagging how Jack played his role in that win.

    Fantastic last quarter

    Amazing effort from both teams

    Are we up to this intensity?

    I assume that is a rhetorical question young Jumbo :)

    What’s Pedersen got to do with Watts?

    I hope so, Diamond...this year has to be the year where we go in very, very hard, week in, week out

    Goodwin has his team...let's see him coach it to high levels of uncompromising footy

    He plays the role Watts would play if still on our list and the most similar role to the one Watts plays at Port Adelaide. Admittedly Pedo plays more ruck than Jack with Dixon and Westoff taking that on but that should be an opportunity for Pedo to get the ball more, not less.

    Crucial decisions in last ten minutes robbed Sydney of any chance to get closer. That talk they had with the AFL prior to start of Season must have been like........you get to decide The Brownlow, we get to decide the Winners............

    Fritsch was Watts' replacement. 9 possessions for 2.1. I'll take that.

    Though he didn't set the world on fire, I thought Pederson still did some good stuff.  A few of his passes into the forward line to Jessy Hogan were spot on.  Though I don't really recall him clunking many yesterday, he provided a pretty good aerial contest.  Hogan and Jeffy were on fire and were very enjoyable to watch.

    Couldn't care less how that other bloke played for Port, any more than any other player in the league.  It's done move on.

    Go DEMONS.

    When I looked we were sitting around 1.5% clear of West Coast, who were in 9th.  Almost totally meaningless, but ironic I thought.

    So both Port and Melbourne had a somewhat ineffective forward this weekend. Is that your point?

    From a then young Scully’s point of view, I doubt very much that it had anything to do with big bucks and selling honesty and integrity down the sewer.  We are talking about an 18 year old kid who was probably afraid to tell the truth because he was afraid of causing Stynes more pain.  Have you never told a white lie so as not to inflict needless hurt?

    If you want to point fingers and hate on people, then go for the people that were truly responsible; his father and his management.  And I have no idea how political correctness managed to sneak into this.

    Anyway, that is my take on things and as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t make me any less of a supporter of this team (as was insinuated in another response I received) that I have been following unerringly for nigh on 60 years. 

    I’m prepared to give a person just starting out on his life, the benefit of the doubt. I’m certainly NOT prepared to take pleasure from that player suffering a very severe injury. 

    of course i have when I was younger and fearful; and I regret them now.  Nothing is as good as being honest with the ones you Love.

    Lies are just further deception.

    And the poorer our society is with them... white lies, black lies, yellow lies, little, big, politically correct ones, all the same.  Deception. 

    It destroys trust amongst all people. relationships. 

    Remember this old  beaut.......  White Man speak with Forked Tougue.

     

    Forked Tongue is a good analogy, because if its Serpents in our Society we want, we're getting our wish.  Not a very good place to bring up kids in, these days.

     

    I will not sacrifice integrity now, for anything.   Life hurts, its painful at times.  But lies weaken all of us, & the things that bond us all together.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
