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"?    ?

You by the sounds of it!

I love the idea of flying... it's the motion sickness that kills me

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

Good point.

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.

Ryder done for the day

Dixon and Houston as well

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 ....

Free Kick total for TWSNBN expected to be around 100 plus last three games, so says writing on spare sweat bands in umpires change rooms.

Get ready for it....AFL have no comment.....

TWSNBN I see this all the time and I have tried to work it out no joy. Can someone please put me out of my misery.

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
