Luke Darcy should never Commentate Footscray  games. 
it is embarrassing 

 

Nothing against brisbance because I like them, but I hope the dogs win tonight just to go above collingwood and jump ahead of essenscum. 

less game time is definitely keeping things exciting for longer, and there's been some cracking games - gimme a close game over a blowout any day (unless it's us doing the blowing out!)

if witherden really is available i would hope we'd be keen

mcluggage is a gun; amazing that mcgrath and taranto went ahead of him; both good players but mcluggage is a pearler

Don’t you mean he should never commentate any match.

    Zorko is a star. To think he was overlooked in 4 drafts and rejected by the Suns.  
     

    Neale does get a lot of contested footy but also a lot of soft out to the back handballs.

    Fair enough, each to there own I guess i don’t find JB anywhere near as bad as Luke Darcy.

     

    Didn't get a chance to watch the Tiges/Port game but listened to a fair bit of it.  Sounded like it was a cracker of a match.

    But how would have our team have measured up against either team?

    Check out the Jacket Brayshaw is wearing tonight!!


    Gee Fagan’s Lions are so impressive. They play with speed and ferocity and know each other’s games inside out, it seems. Dogs starting to look all at sea, with crowds and umps against them

    At our best, we might have challenged Richmond.

    I haven’t seen it yet but will keep an eye out for it, one thing is for sure JB thinks highly of himself.

    We would have lost easily to both teams.

    I think Port played far better last night than versus us.

    We don’t have the ability to maintain intensity and focus for a whole game like Richmond and Port did. I think we would have given up an classic 4-5 goal early lead and maybe come out even for the remainder of the match.

    Think both teams beat us by 5 goals + on last nights performance

    If Port had kicked straight would have been an easy win for them. It looks to me that Richmond is beatable. Got back in the game 3 free kicks for goals shouldnt have been a close game

    Noticed someone in the Port Adelaide crowd last night who looks like Saty. Has he jumped ship?

    Agree... media are talking up the game which I suppose can be justified in the lead swings but really Port should have won by ten goals.

    Hardwick's coaching was nothing spectacular. Should have slowed down the game and used his key forwards better.The fast game favours Martin so I suppose it's a trade off issue

    I thought the umpiring standard was well below par AGAIN.

    Also where the frees were paid resulted in quite a few score assists for Port.

    Eagles v Carlton... (yawn)

    Could do with Carlton wearing a clash jumper. Close in colour especially in the wide angle shots

     

    West Coast are playing like they just had to show up for the points. They are paying the price for it so will wait and see what happens after 1/2 time.

    Bad weather in Perth but not as bad as the umpiring.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
