Iā€™m in Perth today and have a few hours to watch the footy. Anyone recommend a great pub in the CBD to watch?

    Bizarre for hawthorn to be playing in tasmania at 3.20. It'll finish in the dark.Ā

    I hate to even think it, but Mitchell has the young Hawks well drilled and full of life. I can't believe I like watching the Hawks play, but their system and dedication to it is clear for all to see. Love that Newcombe in the midfield, and Frost would be very hard to cover in the forward line. His kicking might become an issue though.Ā

    Frosty!!! Looking good as a forward.

    I love this move from Mitchell.Ā  Hey it may not be a long term option or very effective other than as a one off surprise tactic but i'm almost certain the Brisbane brains trust wouldn't have covered this in their pre-game analysis and strats.

    And who knows.Ā  You just never know what the outcome will be with a move like this until you trial it.Ā  Unlikely i know but Frosty might have missed his calling and this might become a permanent option if it works well enough.

    I still remember Frosty bombing a goal from 50 in a QB game for us. His crazy kicking looks a lot better whenā€™s heā€™s kicking at goal.

    Hawk win would put us two games clear on top. So go Hawks.

    One of the rare times for me also

    Alot of youth & inexperience in this mob but there's some great spirit amongst them and they sure have a red hot go

    So many people saying we would lose to the Lions right now. After watching the first half versus Hawks, I cannot see them getting past us too easily. McCluggage is being tagged in the 2nd quarter and their drive has almost dried up.Ā Ā

    Anyone who says GWS are doing a better job against West Coast than we did needs to look at how many goals theyā€™ve conceded to WC. Double the score from last week already.Ā

    Clearly below average teams shape up decently against top sides.Ā

    Helped by really good umpiring

    I withdraw that comment after that ridiculous free kick paid to Prior.Ā

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™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 psychologistĀ  Itā€™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 letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™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 ruckmanā€™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 Demonsā€™ 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
