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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
