Watching Adelaide V GWS and the crows kicked across the ground which the "nuff nuff's" commentating called the "fat side of the ground". Someone please help me understand this and while your at it, "a goalkeeper" WTF. Brayshaw one of the "nuff nuff's". I'm shaking my head in disbelief.

When one of these idiots, and it's usually Bwoooooooce, says such and such is playing the quarterback role, that takes the biscuit for me. Can't stand hearing that being said. P... off to the USA if you are going to talk like that.

The only fiddling you should be doing right now is with the ladder predictor. If Port had beaten WCE, then a win over SYD & WCE next week would have us 2nd with the win over GWS in r23 . No need for a Brisbane win.

Nice edit, considering your original post completely ignored the Giants.

Once again, you're just assuming we win all 3 final games. I'll be as happy as anyone to see that happen but I'm also a realist. We dropped a game to the Saints barely a month ago. We haven't beaten anyone in the 8 all season. I'm all for being optimistic but the odds of us winning every match from here are unlikely, all things considered.

How many fresh reminders do you need that this club finds seemingly impossible ways to crush their fans every year? My only focus is on finals. If we make the top 4 I'll be elated but I'd rather see results that cement our place in the 8 and finally break our finals drought once and for all.

Whinging about the decreasing odds of making top 2, when our place in the 8 is so precarious, is shortsighted. Melbourne supporters of all people should know better.

Do you believe, playing near our best, we can win the next 3 games?

 

Of course. I'm also someone who thought we couldn't possibly bugger up a victory against Geelong if in front by 30 points in the final quarter...

Back to tonight's matches, Collingwood now up by over 2 goals. Brisbane sadly falling away. Make that 3 goals, bugger!


Wow...the score review to beat all lol

Then, if Port won tonight, how was the thought of finishing second a wet dream?

I'm of the view that the insurance we get from the Port loss is more valuable than the prospect of finishing 2nd.

I believe we can win all three but I don't think that's likely. So I'm more than happy to have Port lose - as has been said, if we beat Sydney tomorrow and Collingwood beats Port next week, then we should (barring BBP's nightmares coming true) have both Geelong and Port covered with our percentage, and that means we play finals (even if North wins out).

Meanwhile tonight's games were exciting 20 minutes ago when Brisbane and Adelaide were both leading.

Now Adelaide's down by 18 and Brisbane's down by 21.

 

Can see thats a goal from here.....how could the goal ump not see that...

Both then kick goals. Don't dream it's over


Both matches tonight going against us now. Bugger.

Adelaide were already well out of contention so it would've been nice to see them upset the Giants. Their depth is ridiculous sadly, thanks to the ridiculous draft concessions the AFL handed them on a silver platter.

Excuseable defeat for Brisbane given their youth but they really should've gotten the win last week against North. Heartbreaking final minute that was.

How “good” is the “atmosphere” in Canberra?

It's great. It's breathable and everything. I suspect there'll be a terraforming operation there in no time.

Great sling tackle Tex you Fwit

Josh Kelly doesn't look in a good way. Hope hes alright.

That lady umpire clearly is a Collingwood fan girl

You are a supporter who doesn’t seem to understand that it is a learning game ...we get into situations we haven’t been into before & maybe lose but learn ....the team of a month ago who lost to the saints isn’t the team that will face Sydney...I absolutely believe we are good enough to win the next three games but the teams we play also believe they are good enough to win .... we need to win at least one  & in reality win or come close to winning against the other two...you need to go into finals in winning form or otherwise you are Essendon 2017 & just making up the numbers

 

Noticed quite a few posts questioning the female umpire. Does she support the Pies? Seems she's giving away quite a few questionable free kicks tonight in their favour.

I bet when Bryce Gibbs left Carlton last year he would have been 100% certain he'd be playing finals. I know he went back home for family but im sure he would have thought the crows would have had a great season and push for another shot at a premiership.

She also didn't allow a clear brisbane advantage where they would have had a certain shot on goal. 

She really needs to hide it a bit better 


The gws crows game hasn't been that bad. Interesting last quarter. GWS 2 down and only hold an 11 point lead. Come on crows do us a favour and win. 

Come on Adelaide you losers. GWS are 2 down. If you can’t win from here, you’re a disgrace for a team that made the GF last year.

Who are the 2? Long term?

  • 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.

    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?
