Ports young kids stepped right up last night. None of them looked overawed

Our young kids simply must get to that level. Otherwise mid table will be our sealing

    Cats were poor. Very poor.
     

    best - Dangerfield, Tom Stewart , Parfitt, Stanley, Tuohy 

    the rest were lost 

    disgraced - Rohan, Dahlhaus, Miers

    ineffective - Ablett, Selwood, Guthrie, Duncan. They could not run and execute. 

    The biggest fail - Hawkins goal kicking. 5 behinds , one on the full .  Three were definitely bad misses that he should have swallowed. 
     

    Scott putting Danger forward in the second half.  Crap coaching. 
     

    Port applied pressure but Cats choked.  

    All I saw Stanley do was drop marks.

    Worst part of last night was Bruce McAvaney's Geelong-biased commentary.

    That trio or Rozee, Duursma and Butters are good to watch, they back themselves to take the game on and often it pays off

    You’re not wrong! How many ways did he say that Ablett was “almost” having a quiet night. It was embarrassing

    I can't stand that bloke commentating, he is the main reason I have the tv on mute when I now watch the footy, 13 year old schoolgirls aren't as hysterical as him.

    Ever been to Kardinia Park?

    I despise Jeeelong

    Hawkins had a massive choke tonight

    He copped it from the crowd 

    don't get me wrong, i'm no geelong fan but as @Diamond_Jim put it, port fans are very much like pies fans on steroids, just hate the port supporter base a lot more.

    McAvaney got on my nerves throughout. His hyperventilating when danger scored that goal nearly made me spew!

    I am not doubting that. But they are over the Border. 
    I resent being sent to Jeelong every year, and love watching them choke

    The first week of finals is probably my favourite week. Four quality games is just about perfect for the armchair fan especially when they are played in different States under different conditions.

    I find him tolerable with certain clubs but completely intolerable with others.

    He's impossible to listen to when he's commentating Geelong or Richmond (and in previous years the same issue was with Sydney and Hawthorn). He's also not ideal with West Coast or Collingwood, albeit it's not as bad.

    He should give it away.

    So Goodwin still has a better finals record than Chris Scott over the last three years. Geelong need to get over WC or Collingwood to draw even....?

    2018-2020 Finals record:

    C Scott 1-4

    S Goodwin 2-1

    lol #straightsetscats

    Good contest this. Tigers seem to have edge.

    I know its only quarter time but Richmond looking ominous.  I sense they are here to win. Brisbane will need to  take all their chances if they are to win.

    Look at the Pressure in this 2nd Quarter, we should be playing in this game Goodwin. 
    Get real and do your job MFC

    There have been some carp games this year, but Lions v Tiges is a cracker. Love seeing the Tiges get rattled. Lions have absorbed the pressure, and their guns are emerging the further the games goes. Rayner, Cameron, Neale, Hipwood, McLuggage. 

    Makes me so b****y annoyed that we are not playing finals.

    • 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.

    • 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.
