 couple of upsets are on the cards

I reckon the dogs will get up tonight.

Carlton a real chance against GWS

and the bombers are now without McGrath, Francis, Shiel, Hurley, Caldwell. but still should beat the Hawks

First two agree, and i also agree with the other, but add Hawks could have their team of the Century playing TWSNBN and they wouldn't be "allowed" to win


Bulldogs have to prove they can take on powerful clubs in hostile environments. Big game for them tonight.

I Know its counterintuitive but huge Demonland support needed tonight for the Dogs. If they beat the cats then our earlier win against Dogs becomes a sort or 8 point game for the cats loss in chasing us, and sets up the end of year clash also as a true 8 point game for us.  I know it helps the dogs get closer to the Dees , but gives good separation for both of us from 3rd spot, then keeping at least second is in our own hands if we can beat the Power in a few weeks.

Absolutely agree. It's totally irrelevant having separation from 1st to second but hugely important to have separation from third.

Tipping 3 boil-overs this week in Dogs to beat Geelong, Carlton to beat GWS and Hawthorn to beat Essendon.

Be fascinating to see how much ‘noise of affirmation’ 7,000 people can bring in Geelong, and the impact it has on the men in green.

Also, I hate Geelong.


Yes, cheering for Dogs, gut feeling is they’ll get thumped.

Girlong ( unfortunately )

Port

Bears

gws

Essendrug

How TF do Geelong keep staying top after 16 years?? They are Manchester Utd of the AFL

Carey reckons Selwood is up there with the best captains of all time. My bollocks! He is a great player no doubt but how many flags has he won as captain?? Zero

he walked into one of the most talented lists in history. 

Dogs, Port, Lions, Giants, Hawks

This game is a challenge.

Cats win puts us back on top but my wrath towards geelong has me confused.

The ...cats...have won ninety out of their last 100 games at the cattery. Wow.

But maybe going back to second place is what our team needs after most of them stank it up big time v the pies.

But the cats with their firepower are a huge threat to the flag and we have shown we are not so beatable.

Mmmmm.

Edited by leave it to deever


Hope to see a good game tonight. Gee conditions will be nice and cold sitting there in the crowd. 

Hope the hawks can beat the bummers, giants blues will be interesting. 

Anyone know how many AFL teams train on the ground they play home games on?

I’m guessing…

Geelong
Brisbane
Suns
GWS
Eagles?
Swans?

Who am I missing?

All this talk of protecting the head - the commentators seem to praise Selwood for “an ear massage”.  


So 7000 in tonight due to virus restrictions.......i know lets pack them all in together on the wings with no masks and empty seats and space everywhere else......

So the VIC government are paranoid about having crowds at games. And when they finally do allow crowds they put 3,500 people on each wing with absolutely no social distancing.

Makes perfect sense.

Go Mitch Hannan in the ruck.....so thats where we should have played him !

Like everything we hear  “based on best medical science” - please explain. 
Could easily have twice (or 3x)  the number with distancing.  But that would be far too logical and liberating.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
