It is starting to look like our real problem is that we still struggle to compete against the top teams, same as last year. Just unfortunate we started the season against three of the major rivals for top 4?

Having said that, I'd still prefer Essendon to fall in a hideous heap.

    Port playing with the audacity we were late last year.  Eagle look way off, not sure if its a just an off night, the rain or Port pressure.  But the most entertaining game to watch this round so far.

    The rain is West Cokes Kryptonite.

    No team can go into any game now,  after dreaming of they're own bathwater,  early in the week.

    Bathwater is toxic to winning for any team,  these days.

    Port are such a Jekyll and Hyde team. Couldn't beat a Richmond side without the majority of their A-graders last week at home, then back that up on a short break by being the first side to beat West Coast with Darling and Kennedy in the side in nearly two years.

    The wet didn't help West Coast but Port showed that when you bring A-grade pressure in your front half, even the most composed sides will struggle to get the ball past the halfway mark. What Port did is exactly what we're trying to do, and what we did well at our best in 2018.

    Port were “on” from the first bounce and did not let go. 

    It was a very impressive performance, and one i suggest Goodwin look at closely

    Betting is almost impossible at the moment. I understand rounds 1-3 you shouldn’t bet but the trend continues.

    Beat me to it.  He and Taberner had big games.  Walters had five score involvements in the last Quarter too.

    Whenever I watch a gws game it has the feel of a preseason game due to the grounds they at in. Canberra and Sydney 

    though also when we play in the NT

    ah... perhaps we could redesign ourselves as an expansion team and get the draft picks..

    wait we have already tried that

    Watching Richmond v Swans.

    Swans are so bad. It's like watching the Dees in different jumpers.

    Perhaps we could merge, the Melbourne Swans ?    Or perhaps we could be the Sydney Demons, or better yet maybe alternate.  good-team,  bad-team...  weak in, weak out... of town.

    Then we could have buddy,  and Nate could play with brother, and Vanders could be closer to home.

    Simple one week we wear dark blue on our jumper,  the other week we wear white.   We already wear white for away games now.

    simples.

    Carlton versus  Footscray, Game umpired to Carlton to win. Blatant free kicks paid to Carlton to win. Never seen anything like it. Not even half time yet. Sad that the AFL have appointed people who are manipulating umpires and our game to achieve desired results. 

  • Quote

    Half way thru the 3rd and Carlton haf a 5 goal lead and heading for their first win.

    If it ends like this they will be 14th on the ladder. ?

    Such an even season, and we have completely blown it.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
