Eagles cannot be as bad as they are performing.

Almost makes one wish we had relegation to keep some honesty in the competition

Tanking for sure. They want the No 1 draft pick and No 1 pre season draft pick to land an un contracted big fish as a back up if they can’t do a trade. We should be nervous.

Have commentators been given a directive not to comment on umpiring errors?

Crows v WCE ... 3rd goal, blatant throw to Soligo who kicked the goal. Perhaps the umpires were blindsided (all 3 of them!!), but the commentators Healy + others said nothing. 

Same as last night. There was a lot of throwing from both sides.

Hadn't thought of that but makes sense

Their list is in a dreadful state. They should go to the draft and use those picks on 2 good young players not bundle for one.

How so?

They turned a pick in the mid 20’s into the 2 best years of Kelly’s career, then traded him out at his most valuable which gave them the points to get Cameron. If Kelly wasn’t so highly rated at the time they’d never get Cameron. If Kelly was traded today they’d not get those points.

Libba is such a [censored]

Pity we have a censor as I really would like to say EXACTLY what I think of him but I always play by the rules.

Matty Rowell is only 20yo still! Feels like a he’s been around years. Hope he can get his mojo back and stay fit

But they gave up 3 first round picks for Cameron. They thought the list was better than it was and that Cameron would be their answer to Riewoldt and Lynch.

Well whether or not you think they did the right thing is a whole other argument (which I agree with), but I’m more suggesting Geelong got what they wanted, and got very lucky to get it, and the Eagles made a list destroying decision.

Especially because he was 4 at the time.


Ginnivan paid a free for the same thing Spaz got called holding the ball last night. Corrupt or incompetent?

A strict free kick filth policy has been implemented today. The umpire closest to the play clearly forgot that, however another umpire 40 metres away rectified that by paying the free kick.

No free kick paid to Sicily for the same thing in Q2 leading to a filth goal.

I have found the definition of "prattling"; it's Lyon's overanalysis of every piece of play. I know he's the special comments guy, but he never shuts up. Reiwoldt is much better ... Hilarious comment pre game by Lyon ... the match between Oliver and Jiath is a match up for the ages. Really? 


Shocking free kick given against the pies which gives the Hawks the lead. Far out that was bad

 

Jack Ginnivan: guernsey - much too short and much too tight. And shorts - big and baggy.  
Fashion statement, or no mirror in the rooms?

  • 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?
