The constant booing by Port supporters is so annoying. Same as West Coast supporters.

The remind me of the Blue Oyster Cult song "The Subhuman".

    Well there you have it. 3/4 time and Port’s pressure rating has been elite.

    Officially no excuses for the turd sandwich served up last week.

    This!

    I’m really glad for the Port’s pressure. It leaves us with less than zero excuses.

    Usually yes, but I’m personally loving hearing any noise at the footy this year

    The Bulldogs in front of a hostile home crowd put in a very brave performance.

    Last week against the same side we did exactly the opposite.

    When do we get to look forward to regular top performances?

    Since 1964 the suffering continues.

    Why us?

    We beat Carlton by a few points.   The Dogs lost to them by 9 goals.

    Almost as if footy is an unpredictable sport   (except for Melbourne sucking since 1964, agreed there).

    Still can’t believe we picked Toumpas over Wines.  It haunts us.
     

    And again last night to see Jackson Macrae (who is an absolute star) deliver a 28 possessions game at 85% efficiency.  He was at pick 6. His under 18 year was exceptional where he showed his skill, evasiveness, goalkicking and ability to win the footy.

    Wines is exactly the type of player we don’t need. We have half a dozen of his type. And a month ago he was in a rut, just like Clarry is now. Clarry’s disposal has been terrible but it’s not a career problem, I suspect it’s mental. A bit of confidence and we’ll see him back to his best. 

    And as a side note, what we recruited Toumpas to be is exactly the type of player we still need. Someone to play on the opposite wing to Langdon and perform consistently. We botched the pick on the wrong player but hindsight is 20:20.

    Kicking skills of both teams pretty woeful

    Hipwood one of the softest players in the comp.

    Tigers kicking skills are ELITE 

    Tigers pressure and tackling is ELITE

    Tigers concentration and intensity is ELITE 

    Not sure how someone like Goodwin could see that and not question his ability to coach and the Dees players pathetic skills.

    Two thoughts come to mind following that game.

    The first is maybe that 4 day breaks are a factor: Brisbane was off a 4 day break, Richmond had 6. Although to counter that, Brisbane generated plenty of scoring shots, so it wasn't all one-way traffic.

    The second is that the comp remains very even. Brisbane were pretty poor in most facets after quarter time. Pretty much every side has had a stinker of a loss so far this year. Indeed, every club except GWS has lost at least one game by 30+ points this year (side note: a week ago, there were three other clubs who with GWS had not lost a game by 30+ points. They were Brisbane, Carlton and...wait for it...us).

    What are peoples thoughts on Witherden?

     

    A very dangerous player to have on your team, thinks he is an elite kick and often fails to pull it off. Don't rate him.

    Noticed he had 19 touches, all kicks, with DE of 73.7%. Didn't catch the game, so curious as to his foot skills.

    I know it's easy to be swept up in week to week knee jerking, but the quality of that Richmond win signalled a clear division between them and the rest, perhaps only West Coast on there day. 

    I think we still are in that 2018-2019 period and the newcomers (Bris, Port, StK) are a clear rung (or 2) behind, which to me feels like almost the signing death warrant for holding my interest over the next few months. Stuff watching a smarmy Cotchin winning again, change the channel!

    They're missing players as well, that's a club that knows how to perform almost every week. No excuses.

    Richmond have very clear expectations on players that come in and their ability to convey the message across the whole playing group is exceptional.

    Every single player on their list can come in and play their role. You can't help but tip your hat to them, they have raised the bar

    It will be interesting to see how the Power perform after a 4 day break. Was the Dees performance off a 4 day break just an aberration?

    The Dees are an aberration

    No excuses for what they dished up

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
