Hope freo beat the hawks, somehow it would be great if sydney could knock off the dogs and ginats beat gold coast and it would be so good if Carlton could upset the cats. 

Glad I was out last night and missed that horrible game. 

 

Looks like the Tasmanian public have given up on North and Hawthorn. I guess there's only so much dross they're willing to put up with.

Yep I watched one quarter last night and that was one quarter too much.


Scrimshaw and Jiath likely outs next week for Hawthorn. 

Getting absolutely rolled by Freo at the moment who aren't even playing that well.

I should be confident of a regulation 6 goal win against Hawthorn next week, but I’m not.

They’ve been completely out classed by a middle of the road Freo.

I hope we feel like we owe them one after they beat us at home earlier in the year due to dodgy umpiring. 

  Yes the maggots let them get away with murder that last 2-3 minutes, but we should never have allowed them to get that close. 
Very disorganised defence (Salem out for Jetta) and some millionaire moments from our mids.

It beggars belief but then we lost because of an umpire so I consul myself with that.

 

Maybe the hawks players are a bit flat after learning tis week Sam Mitchell will be coaching them after next season. 

It's amazing, freo kick accurately and they have a good win. 

Don't give Carlton much chance today. 2 big outs with Casboult and Liam Jones late outs. 


Could've done with some of this fog for the game last night. 

Competitive start by blues, better if they could kick straight.  

Hawks - I guess they just heard their coach has been sacked, it does affect players, as they start thinking of what Mitchell wants and not Clarkson...

 

Weitering is a gun and will slot in nicely at full back when May retires. ;)

Feeling back at home @Rab D Nesbitt? Not sure if you're from Edinburgh, or could be up in the Orkney's , or elsewhere, but there is a bit of a haar' (if I recall correctly.)

Anyway, lets hope there are plenty of soft tissues today...

This is where I get paranoid. For no logical reason whatsoever, I'm convinced that a couple of the Blues' 7 points would have rolled the other side of the post if playing us. And that Geelong gets lucky far too often.

Hey EO, yeah haar is a great word. I'm from the fishing town of Fraserburgh on the north eastern tip. Known to locals as The Broch. 

Geelong have played a number of similar games where the opponent has taken it up to them and had the rotten end of the stick with kicking for goal or umpires decisions. A few games could easily have gone the other way. Carlton are shockers - they did the same against the Eagles and could easily have been close to the eight if luck went their way.


Four goals in half a game of footy. No wonder crowds are down. 

15 inside 50s for Carlton. 

10 scoring shots

3 shots that didn’t score

How are Geelong in the top 4?!?!

1.9 is atrocious. And we complain about our goalkicking. :P Carlton need another tall target, otherwise they're far too one dimensional.

 

Geelong get exposed at the G. They beat Richmond Collingwood and Hawks there. Lost to us by 25 points. Hardly convincing. 
The big space doesn’t suit their slow legs. They rely heavily on being one kick away from their forward 50. 

Carlscum are wasting this. Would love to see girlong lose. Lyon keeps talking up carlscum all the time. It seems they are spanish fly to the commentators.

  • 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?
