I just watched the last 2 minutes on the AFL site. What a bizarre ending! What the actual …. was that Power player doing when he hit the Crows guy to give the free away, and then the kick was way off line and then swung against its trajectory to go through. You can see a Power fan go up when he kicks it and then slump down in his chair - that’s how off line it was as it was initially kicked. Such an odd end to a game.

Port had so many chances to ice that game, but didn’t. 
incredible…

Was listening to Triple M on the drive home, Bernie Vince & Co were going bonkers at the end. Bernie was actually great to listen to.

Just watched the highlights etc... of the Port v Crows game

  • Showdowns are great to watch, and this one looked like a great game of footy.
  • Some of the Crows young players really stepped up which might see them emerge from the bottom of the ladder. Might. At least they have a new benchmark. 
  • Power played some good footy but don't seem to have a match winner or big moment player. But they seem to lack passion and intent which are usually two of their strengths under Hinkley. 
  • That was a brutal incident, even though the contact was not head high. So unnecessary and could only end badly. I hope the young fella from the crows is OK. That was his first game back from neck surgery and he went off holding his neck. 
 

Adelaide: whether you love em, hate em or somewhere in between. If those scenes in the coaches’ box, the crowd and the players doesn’t give you the warm and fuzzies, you might wanna check your pulse. You may well be dead.

Came home from the G and watched the last quarter of the showdown. Even with the game in the balance they seemed to be strolling around the field with no urgency. It was a stark contrast to the intensity of the Mighty DEMONS.


Was at the game and had a great view of Dawson kick, one of the best inswinging set shots you will ever see.

Great games to watch as a neutral.

I think the only time those level 2 seats at GWS have had any @rses on them was that prelim against the Dogs a few years ago. 


Did I just see that Tom Green’s goal celebration included kissing a teammate‘European’ style ie, a peck on each cheek?

I think Derm wants a date with Pruess 

said he mentions how big he is one more time...   

he seems to think it’s hilarious 

I thought the crowd at the Dees AFLW was a bit poor - how bad it as at Giants v Suns!! All you can see is a vast panorama of vacant orange seats, Giants players in orange difficult to make out because they blend in with the seats, and the Suns in an absolute shocker of an away guernsey. Abomination. Add to it Brereton bagging on about Preuss, and as bad as the commentary was in the Casey game, it was easier on the eyes than this.

They're not even GWS supporters. The fire alarm went off in a nearby high rise apartment block and the designated muster point is Giants Stadium. 

Irrelevance vs irrelevance at giants stadium.


I’m very conflicted about tonight. 
On the one hand we have Collingwood going 3-0. On the other hand we have Geelong.

Think Oliver did that last night as well.

I hope Joel Selwood as the record-breaking most-capped captain is given a fitting experience tonight… a merciless hiding at the hands of Collingwood. 

Preuss is a good player but I don’t miss the guy at all, he just reminds me of the dark days.

Now for my second favorite pastime of the weekend: Barracking against the sooks. 


Doesn't look like there's that much of a crowd at the G tonight either. Should suit Jeremy Howe. He used to play for the current premiers apparently.

Yeah, you can't support either team.

Just hope for multiple injuries!

 

Darcy will be fawning over Selwood all game. Already started. 

ps Gawn is already a better captain than Selwood. 1 flag to nil

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
