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!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
