Giants are on the fringes of what you would call "in it". They'd have no fear of being able to reel back the margin though, as long as they throw caution to the wind in the 2nd half. Take a leaf from Melbourne's book - win the clearances and stoppages, and pummel the ball forward at breakneck speed.

GWS forwards not getting the same protection as the Cat’s forwards. 

That’s because they’re not playing any forwards that I can see Demonland.

 

I never wish injuries on anyone but I wouldn't mind 4 concussions for both sides in one marking contest please and thankyou.


My favourite part of this game is Soundgarden in the ad breaks. Ch 7 or their OB/prod has a SG fan - they’ve run a few SG songs last few weeks including Outshined, Drown Me at least.

a huge loss. Last gig. 🥺

Coniglio has gone backwards as a footballer since he was given the captaincy. 

Was he ever that good?

People always raved about him but I ever saw it.

Low scoring yawn fest with the umpires giving Geelong a free ride.

Sad when Brown is the most entertaining thing I’ve seen all evening.

Still holding out hope for GWS somehow miraculously getting across the line. Nothing else to do now that I’ve set aside my evening for this rubbish.

Foot injury has ruined his career. He was an elite midfielder a few years ago. He broke his ankle and developed syndesmosis in his ankle/foot. Similar to Viney, he now has to manage ongoing foot problems, lost all pace and kicking penetration and is a shadow of the gun player he once was. He’s a c grader now. Sad to see.

Back to this match. Haven’t checked the tackle count, but I suspect it’s very low. This is the most bruise free final I can remember.

There was a patch a few years ago (I want to say it was the year before they made the Grand Final) where I legit thought he was the best player in the comp. Never seen anything like that from him since then.

I knew your username meant what I thought it did.

I'm tossing up between netflix and the hope I'll see Hawkins reported if I stay.

Netflix probably a better choice - Hawkins could even “do a Toby” on Razor Ray and would get off.

You have options. We are stuck in lockdown, curfew has kicked in, and it’s pouring rain. 
WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE LEFT 😭

In 2018 he was great and he was my smokey for the Brownlow as he was kicking goals while playing in the guts. 

No idea what's happened but he looks slow and unskilled now. 

 

Edit - thanks Lord Travis for the update, completely forgot about his injury

Still saddens me he's gone. 

I can't get any lower,  still I feel I'm sinking. Haunting lyrics now. 

Based on what we've witnessed so far tonight, if the Dees come to play next Friday, it will be a soft passage into the GF (not ideal imo).

Yep his 2018 was brilliant. Averaged a touch over 28 disposals and kicked 24 goals during the season. Statistically identical to Petracca’s 2021 season for context.

I think you don’t quite realise how anti-social I am 😂 I don’t reckon I’ve been out on a Friday night for at least 5 years and have absolutely no intention of starting now. If I could give you my freedom, I would.

  • 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?

    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?
