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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
