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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
