No wonder the AFL don't ever send Hawthorn down there to play. They are an absolute embarrassment. 

I actually want this to be revisited after 2020, they can share it around but at least one of the "big clubs" should be going down there every year. And the cats should be forced to increase allocation to opposition fans/members by 3000-4000, perhaps make it their trade off as they seem keen on having more games there.

I wouldn't be against them hosting finals against Vic sides either but there should be a minimum allocation of 8000-10000 seats to away fans if it's a Victorian team.

    Despite the margin tonight's game was far better than last night's.

    If I had to pick a best quarter of the 8, I'd still take the rich v Coll last quarter for the contest.

    Not that I watched much of last night but it was refreshing to not hear Cameron Ling on the commentary team for a Geelong game. 

    I do feel a little for channel 7 - most of the best media guys choose Foxtel

    I didn't like it 'John', the only interest was getting the draw because neither side deserved 4 points.

    To be honest they didn't deserve 2 points.

    It was a yawn fest of defensive football with poor skills to match.

    You would have thought they were playing in a bog the way the last Q panned out.

    Every player in the same part of the ground and no one to kick to when they got the ball.

    Did I hear Jimmy Bartel in the commentary say that he met Rhys Stanley and his wife at the Moriac store this week, before their baby was born?.......covid lockdown rules?

    Instead we had to put up with Jobs4mates Watson that reads player stats and has nothing much tactically to add. The guy does zero footy media anywhere, but lands special comments on Friday footy? Laughable.

    There are "approved" locations they are allowed to be. No doubt that was swiftly added... ?

    it's arguably a breach... they are allowed out for shopping not to have  a chat at the supermarket. A nod in passing sure but not a chat.

    On the other hand when half the world is at the beach or Bunnings is it any wonder.

    The complete reversal of form by both teams from Round 1 was interesting.

    Patton looks like a player from a bygone era. Hope he shows his best but the modern game doesn't suit him.

    So far Geelong look the goods.

    Hawthorn look crap.

    Richmond haven't hit their straps yet.

    The pies continue to wobble.

    i dunno...

    cats got destroyed by gw$ in rd 1, poos&wees mangled the bears, richmond haven't lost a match for 12 calendar months, and the filth have lost to one 2019 grand finalist by 4 points and drew with the other in 2 out of their 3 most recent games

    i don't think you can read anything into this season yet...give it til about round 10 - if we get that far - and then we'll know where every team sits

    Wow just saw the scores. Adelaide are in a world of pain. That's just dominance by port and Im happy to see higher scores. Put that rubbish game on thursday night aside. 

    GC up by 26 against west coast at 1/2 time. at this point not sure WC like this hub business.

    GC are up by 26 at 3 QTR time.... They are well and truly under the skin of WC. Rowell is an absolute beast. 

    Loving seeing the Eagles flogs throw their heads around for free kicks and nothing coming

    Sickening that GC got a before r1 priority pick last year and a mid 1st this year. We are a far worse team.

    Surely they won't actually get it, if they keep this up. Still have Rankine sitting in the wings.

    • 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?
