Buddy - one of the greatest 21st century players - is cooked. Being annihilated one-on-one most weeks, and being well beaten by an average footballer today.

The Pies are woeful. Even Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Quaynor are missing easy targets. Confidence is totally gone.

De Goey is a 2-quarter star. Comes in, does some amazing stuff, then switches off. Almost every week. Needs a fresh start and a coach who can get him to fulfill his potential. 

 

Always good to see the filth beaten !

 

For the love of everything sacred, come on North, finish the Poo and Wees off!


North deserve this win.

There goes the percentage ?

 

Hard to say this, but onya North. 

Apart from Coll and Ess, couldn’t have picked a better team for North’s first win. 


According to David King, 1-8 isn’t a premiership. I thought it was, I feel so silly. 

Home from work at 3pm. Watch some of the Pies game to see them lose to the Swans = enjoyment. See North overcome the Poos and Wees = even more enjoyment. Feeling all warm and fuzzy, feeling good.

Turn over to the Q clash - what the hell are Brisbane wearing? That guernsey is illegal and immoral for anything from ballet to hand-to-hand combat. It hurts the eyes!

Collingwood fan forums would be a fun place right now.   A creditable four goal first term, followed up by the utter mediocrity of one (ONE!!) goal for the rest of the game.

Great time for North to get a morale boost. They have Essendon next week.

Were they 'celebrating too much'? ?

Good to see Ratten call out the lack of frees for the dropping and throwing the ball by Geelong.

It used to be mainly the Bulldogs but now more teams are taking advantage of the lax enforcement of the rules.  Not enforcing the rules may speed up the game which is what the AFL wants but if all clubs start dropping and throwing the ball and go unpenalised then it will be a free for all.

I noticed that too. There seems to be a lax interpretation for Geelong infringing. In one chain of play starting deep in Saints forward line going to the wing  I saw an unpunished clear throw and two blatant dropping the ball events all committed by Geelong players. And I only watched 5 minutes of the game.

Dwayne Russell on SEN yesterday had a long interview with Hayden Kennedy, outgoing umpiring director. It had me climbing the walls with frustration and disgust. The complacency of this guy towards the game he is supposed to be a custodian of really should have him run out of town. If he wasn't already retiring, he should do so now out of shame.

I won't bore you with the detail but his attitude towards policing throwing would make you gag. God forbid that one legal handball might be penalised! Oh no, let's let 100 throws go through, instead. Apparently it's better that way. And he had the sheer effrontery to say that enforcement of holding the ball is going well, and also he thinks the fans have a good understanding of what constitutes prior. God help us all.

With friends like Kennedy, the AFL competition does not need enemies.

But, bottom line, the AFL management do not give a [censored] about any of this.

See my comments in Current Umpiring. Heard the same and just had to laugh. Of course AFL accredited Dwayne never asked ONE hard hitting question. Suck suck to the AFL. The best part were the phone calls after Kennedy left. Really good questions and Dwwwayne just kept to the AFL line. Something really serious needs to be done with the umpiring department. Getting rid of SHocking would be a good start.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
