Pies very good, Dogs no so good.

Tiges arrogant and lairised, Carlton average & let off the hook.

 

The Pies have a strong side.  The only real weakness, apart from them only having the second-best ruck in the league, is their lack of a real tall forward.  Not that we have on either, but if you had to pick a weakness I'd be looking there.  Great medium/small forwards, but Cox isn't the answer for the FF spot.

doesn't need to be; just needs to be 6 foot 11 and kick straight! 

they've still got treloar and stephenson to come back in, and unfortunately for them their langdon looks like injury might curtail his career

pendlebury has been such a brilliant player for so long now

hard not to see them in the top four along with tiggas, meth coke, and gw$ - that sort of win against a potential finals team gives them a juicy percentage boost to start the season too

 

Here is a idea why don't the broadcasters use CGI and make a crowd for the tv audience

What a complete joke. There is still tackling and body contact in this sport ( although no where hard enough for what we have been used to ) but when they kick a goal they elbow tap one another and after the game they lightly tapped one another with fists. Am I seeing things here ? What an absolute f#^%@$g joke. Monty pythom could not have scripted anything like this.

Is this really going on? I haven’t seen anything from the two games so far. I’m guessing players have their own personalised water bottles out on the field as not to share. 


It never ceases to amaze me that the Dogs lost their elim final last year to GWS by 58 points - just 8 points less than our loss to WC in the prelim.

Dogs didn’t get a whisper from the media about their pathetic effort. Meanwhile the media labelled out performance a crime against humanity.

Dogs are overrated.

Dogs were just awful.  Bontempelli completely taken out of the game by Adams.  Johannisen  unsighted all night.  Macrea not much better.    If Wood and Keath weren't there to hold the defense together, it would have been even worse as a result. 

Bruce is overweight, and why they recruited him with Naughton, Lloyd and Schache there already is hard to understand.

They could splice in crowd scenes from the chariot race in Ben Hur.

Wagner or Gilbert and Sullivan

5 stack on random, at moment Eric Clapton, Don Mclean, Etta James, Roy Orbison, Frank Sinatra.

Best way to beat the dogs?

Put in a extensive amount of physical pressure on Bont and watch him go to water. His prelim last year was the same.

Bont is a good player, but until he deals with this, in no way should he be in the same discussion as Martin, Fyfe, Dangerfields of the game. 


Jacob Townsend anyone?

Was screaming for his recruitment and Essendon have landed a beauty for absolutely nothing.

Has everything you need in a Forward, can take a mark, kicks truely, applies tackling pressure.

Currently tearing Fremantle a new hole as we speak.

Can't believe people were so quick to dismiss him. #Insane

very similar in size and shape to fritsch, melksham tho?

he's had a very good first tho for sure

Can someone explain to me why Brendan Gale, Peggy O’Neill, and Eddie McGuire were not in attendance at their respective games but Alistair Clarkson was at today’s  game because he’s playing Freo next week.

Thats what you call taking the urine Clarko.

What purpose does a President have being there? Eddie gave his ticket away regardless.

Clarkson has a purpose so I don't see what the issue is here.

Hope our forwards are watching the frees being given in front of goals not to mention that if you are a forward you can throw the backman out of the way and not give a free.

Two or three that went the Bombers way decided this game


Can not get over how bad the AFL website .  Just wow.  The Match Centre is so bad

And to think of all the extra traffic they will be getting to see that mess.

I thought Clarkson being there was crap on the optics and didn’t need to be there given the current climate.

But  we’ll agree to disagree.

 

It seems Adelaide’s magnificent ex leader missed an opportunity to snatch the game in the dying moments. ??

  • 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?

    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?
