I thought the Saints/Port game was a contender for the worst game of the year. This might be even worse when you factor in the fact that this is the best possible conditions you can play in.

 

Looking forward to Swans/Lions though to see who the true #1 contender to us is.

    Dogs struggling to get away from a pretty average Essendon.

    Everyone's waiting for the Dogs to start a fightback to save their season. I'm not convinced it's going to happen.

    Right now it seems the best sides in it outside of us are Fremantle, Brisbane and Sydney. That may well be the top 4. Geelong has a whole lot of weapons but can't stop sides scoring. St Kilda and Carlton are 5-2 but neither is convincing.

    So if the bottom 2 are West Coast and North, who are the bottom 4?

    Essendon and Gold Coast? Adelaide perhaps?

    Port and GWS might be finding some form.

    Suns finishing bottom 4 will surely cost Dew his job. Essendon finishing bottom 4 might cost Rutten his job.

    Swans v Lions is like watching 36 men wrestling in a paddock. It is hardly even football. I like pressure games but this is more like Rugby League with tackle after tackle after tackle. No spectacle at all, and some of the worst field kicking you will see. 

    So tired of handball (throw) over the head, and so tired of poor goal kicking.

    Watching Essendon cop a merciless hiding never gets old. Nor ever will. Go Dogs!

    I’ll look for the highlights package of this game just to watch Essendon have goals kicked against them

    The Worsfold - Rutten succession plan has been a resounding success thus far.

    The SGC is the absolute worst regular-use ground to watch football being played at. I mean, you can't even fit regulation 50m arcs onto it - it's way too small.

    I wonder when the lanky guy with the pea head and ponytail due back for Brisbane?

    Lion's skill and pressure has broken through the Swans defensive suffocation to  break the game open. They are making the Swans look 2nd rate.

    Lions clearly the biggest challenger to us  hipwood back in 2 weeks

    Bailey McStay Cameron

    McCarthy Daniher Hipwood + Raynor 

    is easily the best fwd line in the league. 

    we have them marginally in the midfield and our defence is superior

    Different swans in the second half. They obviously got a serious bake from Longmire during the break

    Buddy has found a good batch of Voltarin (my favorite drug).

    Agreed. Best thing AFL could do is move GWS to Canberra and have Sydney play out of the GWS ground.

    Meanwhile Buddy is turning back the clock in the 3rd!

    Think the football played today has been pretty good. Pies and Suns had plenty of scoring throughout. Swans and Lions very high energy

    But Malthouse says they will be premiers. Maybe he is actually some other sort of …..house.

    Lions are proving Sydney aren't quite at the level.

    Seeding:
    1. Melbourne
    2. Brisbane
    3. Fremantle
    4. St Kilda

    Western Bulldogs could make a Grand Final from anywhere in the eight.

    It seems most people here think the Geriatric Cats are done... I am one of them 😎

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
