Jonesey has his own ad!!

 

Watching in Phuket. Getting some funny looks from the locals with my constant shouting at the tv. Need more composure inside 50. Should be winning easily.

    regardless of the umpiring we have a lot of players not doing anywhere near enough especially in the forward line. These guys need to put their bodies in and need to chase and tackle. i wouldnt mind if they tried to kick a few goals as well. We are keeping port in this game, with the sheer weight of inside 50's we should be miles a head at the moment we are damn lucky to be in the lead.

    if these guys want to play finals they need to go out and prove it and not just leave it to Viney and others

     

    Why do you think we have so many inside 50s?

     

    Maybe forward pressure?

    Is it just me or is Hogan really out of touch and being just a passenger tonight. Might need to go back down to the VFL and ragdoll a few seconds players to get some confidence back.

    Move him up the ground ?

    His only mark was on the wing.   Certainly out of touch.

    C’mon Jesse ..... a bag in the third and another bag, shared with Tom, in the fourth.

    Pleeeease

    Big half for Goodwin imo. He has a team cracking in, and if he can figure out a way to goal, we win.

    Was poor last week and poor again this week. If he lifts and gets on his bike this second half we’ll win.

    Have you seen the delivery to him?

    Missing a small forward likeJeffy. He would have got two by now with the amount of inside 50 ‘s we have had.

    Hogan is not the problem. Port are successfully holding us up at the wing, flooding, and he is surrounded by 4 or 5 guys at every contest. There has been zero adjustment. He needs to move up the ground and we need to be cleaner across the middle of the ground. It is not so much delivery going forward that is killing us. We are simply allowing them the freedom to flood.

    Bloody Hell, Dermott making sense.....What sort of parallel universe is this?

    Good footage of Hogan on Fox Footy not flying for his marks. It was his main skill in his debut year.

    Dont understand why we always go wide when going inside 50.

    Very scrappy game thus far, need to execute much better to win this. Freezing at the ground, stewy dewy on the ground.

    Hmmm. For what it worth, I think the umps have been ok. Port flooding our 50. We have dominated most of that half for not a lot of return. Get off Brayshaws back, he's been good. best game from trac for a half a doz games. Keep this intensity up and we will win. Just need to keep doing the team thing, it will click. Much better effort than QB

    Port's forward 50 open, open, open. Ours is congested and full of long bombs. 

    If you compare our forward syngery this week with previous weeks, it is miles apart. I don't know how many times Petracca knocked over his team mates and then fumbled the ball.

    We've been rattled by the Collingwood affair and seem to be lacking confidence (Hogan and Petracca in particular). 


    Cannot see us winning like this. Desperation will increase along with a commensurate increase in turnovers and port goald

    once they get a turnover and clearance they ran deep into fwd line in that q.

    Is Hogan playing??????

    Fritsch? The Smiths? Come on boys lift.

     

    No surprise the parochial crowd absolutely influences umpiring decisions. 

    The Power fans are totally one eyed, and that eye suffers myopia. 

    We have controlled the ball but been very poor with decision making and creating space. 

    Every port inside 50 threatens to be a goal as their forward line is so open. Ours is the opposite. 

    Spite at end of quarter was more our frustration. 

    This game should be ours but could go either way. Many players down but T Mac keeping us ahead with scoreboard pressure. 

    Conditions are absolutely perfect for footy. Chilly but no wind and really no dew or moisture. 

    8 points on the line here.

    Delivery inside 50 is reminiscent of games 1-5 this season. Bombing to packs blindly. 

    Lower the eyes. Melksham does this so well. Everyone else does not.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
