The round 9 clash between Port and Dogs will show where both clubs are at, and their prospects for 2021...

    Carlton are going to seriously regret signing Williams and Saad to such big money. it's going to come back and bite them bigtime. they're no better than they were last year, just without the warchest.

    Only if we win. 

    Even more so if we lose. It makes it less critical, as we still won’t lose touch with the top 4

    I’ll play. Freo are complete garbage in Melbourne, Saints are a rabble, GWS had no one on the bench and Geelong should be 0-4. 
     

    You can only beat what’s in front of you, dogs have been very impressive. 

    Correct. Dogs are the best side in the competition currently and will be hard to beat this year. Their midfield is absolutely by far the best in the league.

    I’m listening to abc Carlton v PA. My thoughts- Brendan Goddard is a miserable b@stard.

    Great call KLV, he just seems to be permanently salty.

    We play Doggies, Cats and Giants all twice this season, so good opportunities to see how we’re travelling and shape our approach to September (should we be good enough to get there)...

    Just returned home from the Melb City v Melb Victory game. Is it too late to text some Essendon mates telling them City scored more goals than their team tonight?

    Is anyone else feeling a bit concerned about what might happen to the Kangas tomorrow. Pre-game laps of honour for past Cats favourites coupled with the fact that they've copped some negative critique from the media this week, and of course Danger is back. North have been stiff with injuries, and a 4.40pm Sunday affair at a parochial Kardinia Park could be keeping some blokes awake tonight.

    Concerned? I hope they surpass 186

    In 2015 Geelong were planning a big celebratory game for Corey Enright’s 300th game at the cattery against us. We were huge underdogs but beat them to spoil the party. Anything can happen but North are really bad.

    Is Cripps really a star of the comp or just a very good player? Oliver and Trac crap all over him imo 

    Needs to do what Trac did and drop weight.

    Game doesn't suit the big body, in and unders.

    Need endurance and agility. 

    Vanders, could be the same. Drop some muscle weight, become faster and run further.

    It is the dogs that are firing.

    Already had a game against them as a practice. Hoping our brain trust figured them out. Match them up with the role players and take them apart with skill and effort.

    Now that it is just us and the Dogs on top of the ladder, the maths to secure top spot become very simple.

    Melbourne 170

    Hawthorn 35

    Sounds good to me, but of course I'll take any old win that comes our way.

    What is going on with Victory? They are a shell of the powerhouse they once were. 6 nil and 7 nil thumpings in 2 derbies this year!!!

    I’m not a fan of discrediting the doggies, or us for that matter, based on who they have played. For starters, that West Cost game at Marvel was an epic played at a great standard.

    Carlton are treading water, going nowhere fast. They haven't haven't nailed a draft which you have to do to provide the foundations for a finals team. Ourselves, Port and Freo have gotten it right and will be at the pointy end for a few years off the back of it. I reckon they'll be ripping it all up and starting again after next season.

    You’d call yourself silly if you thought City would go one better than the last derby FD.

    It was incredible, one team sniffed blood and went for it while the other went looking for a hole to crawl into for the rest of the season. Was trying to figure out after the game a 7-0 result is like what in AFL? The margin mentioned several posts above comes close to describing the Victory performance.

    A 7-0 is equivalent to 186.

    I haven't been to a Victory game for a few years but there must be something rotten at the core of the club to serve up efforts like last night.

    Agree that would help. Although our inside mids are suffering the same way with the game style change like Viney or Clarry

    i think it is highlighting his poor kicking skills even under no pressure.

    After multiple humiliations in the Bailey/Neeld years, I don't recall an sympathy coming our way. More like contempt and mockery. North can look after themselves ... and start planning their new accommodation in Hobart.

    How do you reckon we'll go in the second half?

    Just got odds of $6 from Sportsbet for North to go winless this season, was hoping they’d gotten back to me before last week game against the Crows. I know a winless season has never happened before but there’s a first time for everything. I looked at their draw and I can’t see them beating anyone.

    It's happened 14 times in AFL/VFL history, but not since Fitzroy in 1964.

    St Kilda did it three times in a row from 1897-99 and again in 1902.  That would test your resilience as a supporter!

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
