My sports bar in Hua Hin is proving a bust!

Is that watch afl app any good ? $20 for a week sub. Don't mind the fee but is it any good?

Worked a treat for me last week and will be using it again today. 

Not a bad view for the match either. 32 degrees to boot. AF2A5299-1426-4265-BB1C-CD5A71433C51.jpeg

    Cats will do some shonky sh$% with FF playing up the ground handing off to Smith and down ASAP to Jeremy.Will need to be ready.

    So much riding on our backline vs their forward line and whether the conditions effect their forward line marking power

    If their twin towers start to influence we might have to use Max in the backline

    And if that happens our forward line will be dependant on our 4 smalls having a decent influence (along with Brown & Fritsch contributing)

    Regardless, we'll need to lower the eyes with our inside 50 entries.  Our midfielders hitting the scoreboard would be a big plus

    Their average score against is 69 points but they've got a couple out with Stewart being a big out


    Chris Scott having conniptions MAX is back.

    Always tough at Kardinia with dubious umps and crazy fans but here's hoping the cats players didn't have their afternoon nap time.

    Dees by 22.

    Scott just on Fox saying he isn't going to send someone to clarry or petracca as it is like conceding the Geelong mids Selwood and danger are not as good and he didn't think that's the case. Same with playing a negating forward on lever or May. He might be foxing but he is dead wrong on his assessment of the mids

    I've tried a few times with no luck both Foxtel go and kayo with VPN whilst OS . Very limited success and I'm in the tech industry. I'd bite the bullet and buy the game on watch AFL 


    Geelong ground staff not the most hospitable. 😑

    Few sideglances probably going around the playing group when this weeks theme was presented I reckon...

    Pride cometh before the fall


    Just saw Greg Stafford interviewed and he speaks really well. talked about the teams approach to the game and while it was nothing very notable he spoke with a smile on his face nd did not scratch his left leg once.

    Game will be won or lost in the contested ball

    We pressure them hard,  slow their movement and get our share of clearances we win. They pressure us harder and get easy contested ball out, we lose...

    Still love this quote from last year. 
     

    Rd 23. See how we can win from being 40pts behind. 
    Preliminary Final. See how much we can beat them by when we’re fair dinkum. 
    Go Dees ❤️💙

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
