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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
