Magpies getting done = ?

 

Multiple players out of the GWS Swans game Due to CoVID restrictions. New teams to be released now.

This season is starting to fall apart.

GWS loses Greene, De Boer, Briggs and Stein.

Sydney loses Mills, O'Riordan and Cunningham.

One massive out for each side.


GWS helping the cause of keeping Sydney out of the top 4. Let’s hope they keep it up. We need a few more things to go right after last night’s debacle

I know footy helps ease the pain of lockdown but Fox have done there best to add more pain with the commentary team for the Crows v Eagles game. 

GWS look to be playing a high possession keepings off style like they did against us. Sydney want stoppages and then to burst forward.

My point is that certain game styles do better against certain teams, and helps to explain some of the unusual results. Swans looked great against Dogs last week, GWS looked horrible against Suns. Coaches want flexibility, but some teams are just better built for certain game styles. Pretty interesting season.

 

The umpires just lack any game awareness. Papley is a serial ducker and get rewarded with a free which leads to a goal. Umpires should black book players like Daniher and Papley and assume they are effectively cheating.


I personally feel the Swans best footy is as good as anyone’s and will be super dangerous in the finals. 


GWS remind me of us when we completely fall apart. Cannot stem the tide and quite frankly cannot execute a possession.

Agree with others that Sydney look at good as anyone at the moment. Their offensive game looks better than ours.

Sydney can absolutely go all the way. They are a scary proposition when they’re on and the team most like us in terms of game plan and contested footy. 

whole giants team coming down with covid mid game?

swans kick 9 un-answered goals after being down 34 pts..................wtf


I love watching Sydney.

Such a hard discipline team and well structured line up. Watch the way Parker, Kennedy and Heeney operate around the ground. No Hollywood fans over the tap [censored]. They just get the job down and keep it simple. Oliver, Petracca and Viney are exact the opposite to these guys

They are every chance to win it this year and I hope they do.

Really CB? I really can’t understand why you’d struggle to like a mob that has a profound history of cheating, chronic inter-generational ineptitude and racism, and multiple players being charged with rape. I’m truly flummoxed. 

You forgot about dwarf burning. 

 

Why isn’t Cameron under intense pressure?  
Gifted list, enormous financial subsidies yet struggling to consistently appear in GFs.

not a great result for MFC.

anyway 2.5 games ahead of 5 and 6.

I am thoroughly sick and tired of hearing that results elsewhere are not favorable to MFC when we have the world at our feet and our destiny entirely 100% in our own hands, yet blow games like Hawthorn, Colonwood, Adelaide.  GW$ was, if in isolation, almost excusable and certainly explainable. 

To me our guys still lack any killer instinct or responsibility for their actions, and fall back into thinking that low teams are easy beats - I guess a reasonable thought  process given our recent history, but still totally inexcusable.

  • 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?
