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......

    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.

    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.

    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.

    but the ball is going through him forward

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
