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...

    Win the contest, win the game

    Job’s right!!!!  The match is on

    Odd thing. A couple of Thai girls just joined me.  I think they want to get in a shout …….. maybe they’re Dees supporters

    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 ❤️💙

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
