Cats dominated but missed easy shots.  Tough contest.  Rozee looks impressive.

    If Chris Scott was a NBA coach he would have been sacked years ago, they don't rate coach's that get teams into play off but get knocked out early year after year.

    Is it just my imagination, or does anyone else think that Ebert looks like Warren Entner from the Grass Roots (US pop group late 60s .... classic song "Midnight Confessions")  ?

    OMG can’t believe the Felocentric umpiring.  
    Geelong gets all the soft ones, and Port can’t get a half chance.

    How does Hawkins get away with blatantly pushing people in the back in the ruck in the forward line?

    Port home now.

    God I love Butters. He’s all class and has the right amount of mongrel and crash to go with the skills and pace. I’d trade anyone on our list for him outside Petracca and Oliver.

    Does Chris Scott need a win to keep his job? His finals record isn’t great 7-11 (not including this game) when 3 of the 7 were his first year in charge back in 2011. So 4-11 in 9 years with one of the best teams over the decade. 
    He might want to escape with the aged lost also though

    Pressure in the midfield 

    That’s what Goodwin wants, but we are nowhere near it after 4 seasons

    Great Scott finals record. 
    Hawkins (0.5)  had he kicked straight instead of sulking could have made the difference.

    We were in 2018. Problem back then (and still now) was consitancy in its application. But with the new game plan, that ferocious nature has all but disappeared.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
