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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
