So far haven’t seen a team that I can see challenging us.

Nasty nasty knee injury. Port are falling like flies. Not great. 

 

Some ridiculous mistakes in this game. Real howlers

    I dunno. On paper they are so talented but I don’t rate their coach. They’ve had a gun team for so long but something is just NQR. 

    I have it on good authority that s%^t went down badly when Davis was removed as captain in favour of a seconds player.

    This game is a debacle. Horrible horrible skills. 

    Agreed. The difference in quality between this game and the Sydney/GWS game earlier is night and day

    This is a real war of attrition - Port running out of players, but Hinkley is looking totally lost. 


    Fun game to watch tho. Good pressure now from both teams and a tight contest.

    Is the ball made of butter or something?

    Hot and humid in Brissy, round 1, we were dumbly compared to the Dogs too.

    Yep. So you’re just allowed to argue free kicks again with no penalty. 

    They really bring the hate on themselves at times. Seriously why bring in a black and white rule then officiate it with all manner of grey immediately

    I like how Sydney plays a lot. They’re hard and have skilful youngsters. If they can keep their top players on the park this year, they could go deep into finals.

    Yeah I thought they were one of our toughest games last year and with a years improvement into their younger players I think they will be a real danger this season.

    God imagine languishing in the dreaded Sunday time slot in round 1…. What a terrible triple header. 
    Hawks are irrelevant already.

    Definitely. We didn’t win by much from memory. They play like a seasoned team in the attitude they have in that, they don’t seem to drop their heads and they just keep coming at you regardless of the score. Which is pretty impressive considering how young they are.

    based on what i've seen so far this weekend, Norf are warm favourites to finish top 4.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
