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.

    Hogan 22 disposals, 14 marks and 3 goals  

    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.

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
