Paddy McCartin is a dead ringer for Robbie “Mad Dog” Muir

He was one scary bastard. Could play occasionally when his temper allowed it

Don't think "Paddy" has that Martial Art touch, his is more "potato" touch......

 

Low scoring scraps are back.

 

This competition is all over the place.  Hard to get a bead on how things will pan out.  Makes the capitulation last week even more painful.


port-geelong should, in theory, be a cracker

what's the bet it's a dour slog and freo-dogs a fast flowing speed fest?

such is the topsy-turvy nature of afl season 2018!

Mainly low scoring due to shocking conversion rates today

I think you’re being polite with the word shocking RGRS. 32 behinds under the roof?

39.60 in the two games today in great conditions

Would be very interesting to see that broken down into set shots etc.

With forward pressure I am not surprised by the seemingly low conversion rates.

Mind you Greene and then Shield kicked two beautiful goals on the run from different pockets for GWS.

On a more serious note the team that cracks the accuracy stakes will go far. How they do it who knows.


Was just think how great it is that Port and the Crows moved to Adelaide Oval and ditched AAMI Park.

AAMI was a graveyard for Melbourne, butt we have been fantastic at Adelaide Oval.

"Hes a quality guy, Lindsay Thomas" -   James Brayshaw

Five minutes later and Thomas snipes someone  as hes done his whole career.

I know it's Dangerfield so probably won't happen but he should get many, many weeks for dumping Westoff head first into the turf off the ball.

That was a very dangerous action that could have had disastrous implications...

This is the first time I've watched Jack Watts play for Port. He's been awful.

From the Port forum

"J Watts should be out there in a dress."

Yes saw that but they will move on and concentrate on Lindsay Thomas. He will go down but I am not sure it was that bad. Need to see the replay a few times more.

Thomas was very dirty.

Commentators then quizzed each other on how much of a ‘good bloke’ he is off the field.

See when he jogged in for a mark and the Geelong player just ran past him and took the ball.

Yes painfull only half interested

but the ball is going through him forward 

even without his full effort

Goody made the right call on this one


LOL you guys are obsessed. He's one of their highest disposal winners. Been involved in a lot of plays. Covered a lot of ground. Has quick hands and decision making. Been asked to swing across half back and the forward line. Laid some tackles. Landed a huge bump in a recent passage of play. But yeah because he's not Dangerfield he's a spud who should be in a dress.

And we're still paying for him!

Good thing we got rid of him so we can make way for hard nuts like..Bugg and...you know...all those other amazing half forward talls we have in our line up.

Where are all the posters who were melting down when Watts kicked 6 in a JLT game?

He is worse at Port than he was at Melbourne.  Terrible footballer.

You must have been very impressed when he completely f****d up that goal opportunity in the 4th. How he made so many mistakes in one passage defies logic.

He's been half paced all game.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
