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.

    • 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.
