Hmmm, West Coast are close enough to pinch this one.

    Wet coke don't look good at all. Vardy may have done his left knee. Anyway lets just beat Sydney first.

    For those predicting 2, 100 point wins for Geelong in the last 2 games, as Gc v Tiges showed today, they' not so easy to come by.

    This is the West Coast everyone predicted in the preseason.. bottom 4 material.

    Would be disappointing to lose to them next week.

    Goody sighting at Adelaide Oval. He must be liking what he's seeing right now.

    Oh no!  What happened to our mantra of "one week at a time"?    ?

    If WC somehow win, port are in serious doubt of missing finals. They are away to Pies next week. Plus WC will be pretty much locked in the top 4 and won’t need a win next week. 

    I know who I want to win

    Suggest you go and look at the bizarre reasoning from Michael Christian on the May incident. IF the Saad hit was within 5m - and I haven't seen all the angles - it is perfectly legal.  

    And if outside 5m it's only a free downfield.

    Looked at it, and the May incident again

    May and Curnow were much closer, May took only 1 step and Curnow 1.5 after disposal 

    I still think May was lucky with only 1 week as it is a poor look

    Brown is another level entirely, twice as much time to avoid heavy contact, but chooses to bump and changes direction slightly into the bump to hit Saad harder

    Right call to send straight to tribunal, hope he gets 4

    Jack Watts is finding a role at Port as a defensive player today on Hurn.

    I still reckon he's nowhere near what he was doing for us c. QB last year, but at least he's giving Port some value.

    One rule tweak I would make is a tackler can't be penalised for a lingering tackle if his opposition doesn't dispose properly.

    Quite often the ball carrier just drops it and the tackler has no way of knowing.

    Port has just stopped here and it's not even 3qt…

    I don't think they'd care, with a lead of 15 going in at 3qt. Just Defend for the entire quarter if need be, WC aren't in the best form either.

    If Geelong win, it is quite possible cats and hawks end the season on 14 wins which means we’d miss the 8 if we only beat Sydney. So I’m on the Hawks 100%

    Just bloody well win the next 6 on the trot. Simple solution.

    As much as you can hate these teams they always put on a good show. 

    2 weeks in a row geelong have had close losses. 

    ?? so, Cats ... that is what it is like to lose close games. Get used to it.

    How good is their “super mid field”?  Or was it dream team?

    Finally someone spoken out about geelong. https://www.3aw.com.au/game-day-hawthorn-v-geelong-at-the-mcg/

    Geelong legend Jimmy Bartel said it’s not good enough.

    “You can’t have that top-end talent, that experienced coaching panel, a massive home-ground advantage, and miss the finals,” Jimmy said.

    they could  still miss , i did the ladder predictor and had them 9th ....

    They Who Shall Not Be Named.  In this case refers to the 3 amigos: My Egotist, Mr Ducker and Mr Sook that make up the 'elite' midfield at Geelong.

    Occasionally modified to HWSNBN ie He Who Shall Not Be Named.  When used on DL it is exclusively for the No 1 p_ick who took his 30 pieces of silver and went to GWS. 

    Edit: Just saw Dalenska's reply - for got about the drug cheats!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
