Gold Coast hasn't turned up

They haven’t started games well lately and it takes them a while to work into games of late but I still think they’ll win.

It's a fair point, but personally I would put the connection Tasmanians feel towards a team they rightly deserve as more improtant than the so-called dilution of the talent pool. The existence GWS and GCS automatically negates that being a major issue. Not like we will stop watching footy if each team gets a bye. I would personally also aim for a NT team a few years later and pump money into developing players and social programs in the top end (as well as Tassie).

I understand the feelings of Tasmania, they are a football state. But they will need assistance for many years. They are a small passionate state

But having GW$ and GC$ on the books as well as a Tassie side is very dangerous road to go down.

Neither has GWS.

I think it’s more about how good Collingwood are as opposed to GWS not turning up.

They’re strangling GWS and making them earn every possession. Pies did this to us too.

I would be delighted to play the Pies in any match during the finals!  
Home & away a different scenario!

Collingwood to finish top 4 and a genuine chance for a GF spot.

They’re fixture on the way home is a joke and they’re quite frankly too hard to play against. They make you earn every possession with their red hot pressure.

Can they keep up that pressure for another 8 weeks and then finals though? Not possible to play at max intensity all season long and they are playing their best footy now.

Two pre tackle tackle free kicks paid in the one GAME against GC.

Must be a new rule in vogue..

Don't think so. Same for Carlton. Media have full hype level going for both. Pukeworthy.

I hate the filth.

Didn’t think I could hate them any more than I do, that is until I saw that Ian Botham is a supporter. Mate of Chins apparently.

Ahhh Ollie Wines. Do you recall the time he won a brownlow, when a certain Clayton should have?


Great call umpire.

Look, Ollie Wines is a very good player, but if you cast your eye over SOME, BROWNLOW medalists, ya have to ask some questions... and I'll include him in the "One hit wonder club"

Clayton Oliver is that far above Ollie Wines its not funny, just look at the comparative stats to see this!

Agree. Often times the Brownlow winner is the best midfielder in a half decent team without a lot of midfield peers to take votes off. Matt Priddis was similarly a good footballer, but wouldn’t have been in the top 20 players in the comp the year he won.

PRIME EXAMPLE!!!


I was very willing to give Ginnivan a shot in the face iof the criticism of him enjoying his goals too much. After watching that game against GWS he just flops around far too much to be admired, and even though it only works 20% of the time it’s just not an admirable way to play. He’s essentially playing for a free kick 85% of his game time.

And the umpires call for it. Isn’t dropping of the knees and lifting the arm should be called play on? 
Mim positive that dropping of the knees is considered the same as ducking?

What happened to Collingwood in the last bit of the game. I turned off when they got a couple in a row but they ended up winning by only 11pts

Gold Coast are becoming a decent Football Club. They are right in the hunt for Finals, if the can pull this one off. 
 

Will the Gold Coast take any notice of them?

  • 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?

  • 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?
