With all due respect, the last thing those guys need to get them pumped is to review the 2018 PF thrashing by a team not in this year's fins race. There are far better was to get them ready. Watching Rocky IV would be better

 

Ump No 1 was relentless in awarding frees to Geelong. God help us if he plays for them again next week

100% for sure. Great times. Was the same in Bris. Slamming every Thursday and Friday night to the best music. All of those bands just took music to a whole new level. I'm not sure they've been mentioned yet, still catching up with the thread, but I was a massive Faith No More fan as well. Saw them at Festival Hall and was just speechless in awe until the rumbos kicked in 

However, the clash with the Giants failed to live up to the intensity expected of finals football and AFL pundits believe the Cats will struggle to challenge the Demons.

“I don’t think Melbourne are quaking in their boots right now based on what they’ve seen,” St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt told Fox Footy.

Never seen Tool, timing was always out. I'd probably list them as my all time favourites. Maynard's a legend, A Perfect Circle is magic as well, and other things he's been into, Puscifer etc. Passenger, a song he did with Deftones. Wow.

May, Lever and Fritsch didn’t.

You and me both. It’s the field I work in. Or as many of us now put it, worked in. 


Dogs and cats are the 2 most 'looked after' teams in the comp. Cats going through to last 4 is dangerous. If dogs go through as well anything could happen.

lots of friends and acquaintances in the same boat so i am very, very sorry to hear

True. This is the very reason why May came to us so he’ll be pumped, Lever missed our run in 2018 due to ACL so he’ll be up for it. As for Bayley, he’s in the best form of his career so that doesn’t hurt.

But the engine room is where it will be won and lost.

Are you serious?

There's no meaningful difference between 13 days and 15 days off. They're obviously going to give Geelong and the Dogs/Lions winner 7 days each rather than give Geelong 8 days but Dogs/Lions 6 days.

And Port gets the "lower ranked" finals team in the prelim because they already had to beat the higher ranked finals team in their QF.

Are you seriously complaining about this?

For god's sake TU it's an observation. Not everything on DL has to be taken as a complaint, seriously.

I thought Meredith was far worse , number 21, in giving the Cats about 5 pathetic frees right in front and then ignoring obvious Giants ones. Razor was the bets of them by a mile. I would be happy with Razor next week and hopefully Stevic.

The reported crowd last night was just over 44k.

Certainly didn't look like that many but if there were I'm impressed by the Perth public's support

Kudos to Lachie Whitfield who I thought played a great game.

We should get a full house next week. Optus is a fantastic stadium and a pleasure to attend games there. Still no MCG but light years ahead of Docklands for spectator ambience. 

If the doggies make it to Perth they'll have travelled more than any other grand finalist. Melbourne to Tassie to Brisbane to Adelaide. It's too much.

Not sure who wins tonight. Either way their journey will end next weekend in Adelaide I reckon.

  • 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?
