Absolute garbage. This game, the state of the game in general. 

Could not agree more what a snoozefest. No spark, no great 1 on 1 contests, no room for individual brilliance besides the odd goal from Buddy. Footy is in a bad way.

It really is. I switched over from last night's Wc v Ess game halfway the through second quarter to watch John Candy in the mid-80's comedy classic 'Uncle Buck'. I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't switch back again.

Only last halfway through the second of tonight's game. The AFL product quality is diminishing. It was never this boring in the 80's,  90's and 00's. The thrills are being suffocated out of it.

I switched off last night's game at quarter time and switched on The Wire when the kids went to sleep. Same tonight kids have fallen asleep watching on the couch, might keep it on cos it's close but that's the only thing keeping me watching at the moment.

Gunston kicks ball siren goes but ball then bounces through goals, paid a goal? I thought the ball is dead once the siren goes. 

 

It really is in a bad way. 24 to 31 used to be the score 10 minutes into the first quarter. Now it’s the half time score. 

Players are boring robots, very few characters. The few characters there are are social media vvankers. 

Skills are shocking. 

Coaching teams spend 2-3 preseasons working on a game plan and style, guess what, forget that we’re changing all the rules again. 

Dees are [censored]. 

It’s all [censored].

nope... the ball is dead from a player controlling it etc...play from a ball kicked before the siren continues.. eg  a touched behind

Nick Blakey - Emerging Superstar.  Played a sensational game tonight.

How do we get him to The Dee’s?

Well the hawks wont play finals.  Thats about the only joy I'll get out of this season


Disgraceful performance of "magotting" tonight. Endangered players livelihoods, by not picking up and halting play in an obviously serious concussion situation. Tried to manufacture result by favouring  Hawthorn and "Roughie" after their ceremonial burning during the week.Might as well not go for marks any more, not worth it. just tap to advantage. Thanks AFL.......

100%. I’m enjoying watching the cricket over AFL which never used to be the case during footy season. 

Buddy was great to watch before injury. Can’t see him playing more than 20-30 games from here but he should get to 1000 goals. What a gun. 

And can we please recruit someone like Hayward. Only 9 touches but he was very good

Well no one in England could ever afford meat, plus you could slather your toast with the dripping. Yum! ?

Hasn’t Tom Scully been a revelation for the Hawks.......NOT!  It’s clear his ankle is stuffed.

I hope the money grubbing little toe rag fades away into oblivion.

He really has become quite irrelevant.

Interesting stats for Buddy F. He has had five kicks for four goals. No handballs and no tackles. Three marks. 

Sounds good on paper, but what about his defensive pressure?

hammy went ping, delaying his 300th to a game of far more significance than the one against gc17 next weekend

he was absolutely dominant as a forward


Anyone taking notes on Brisbane? Wow wee.

Geez St Kilda are [censored].

 

Is this one of the nails towards the end of Richo if they don't make the eight?

  • 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?
