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!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
