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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
