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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
