Instead of finding this comforting, it's making me feel more anxious that we will look even worse than we already do if we lose to Sydney. 

 

McVeigh is a huge out for them.

He is a weapon in the area we suck at. Everyone we have lost to this season has killed us transitioning the ball out of our forward line and into their own.

 

Hayward almost just as big for us given his 'speed and goal sense'.

Small and medium forwards have been killing us this year.

Franklin won’t need to ping them 55 out from the boundary. He will be gorging courtesy of Joe the Goose.

Never confident whenever we play a side with a big out...  never seems to go our way, like first gamers tearing us apart.  Often embarrassing. 

First round vs Port. They had about five top liners out!

We know how that ended.

WE have too many injuries, a suspect game plan under 666 and too many players with lost form. On a ground where we almost never win that is in bad shape, imagine how we will slip and slide.

Think 2020 when we have a chance at the SCG.

Got a mate of mine who lives in Sydney, he says the ground resembles and plays like any suburban ground in a non descript outland suburb and says it is far from being suitable for any form of sport at present!

That must be worrying for the AFL??

Why picket?  the same number will go to the ground and the same number will watch on TV no matter what the ground condition. That is what fills their coffers. If one game over the weekend looks poor or a player suffers a long term injury then too bad. Does not matter in the overall scheme of things.

Tom Morris (3AW) confirmed that the game will go ahead even if the stadium is deemed unsafe, because they don’t have a contingency plan.

Could’ve sworn GWS play at another stadium in Sydney....

On a good day it holds 20k, facilities ordinary and no Swans signage .

And in the end the afl could not care less.

I booked flights (for me and my son) for this match a month ago.

Given the above comments, and the team's start to the season ... I can hardly wait.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
