Does anyone know what happened to Nibbler in the second? Was on the ground spewing his guts up, and channel 7 didn't even bother to replay what happened before it

not sure if he just ran so hard that he chucked?

    I did some sums.  Hard to predict scores BUT

     

    Sydney win 95-65, their % is 128.2

    Sydney win 100-60, their % is 129.7

    Sydney win 110-60, their % is 130.3

     

    Dees are 130.5

     

    But we can win anywhere :)

    I'll be rooting for a 128-72 scoreline so Swans miss out by 0.001%. 😆

    Heard Goody say they will have 3 days off. 

    Does that mean the first finals prep training will probably be Tuesday, 9.30 am at Gosch's?

    What a great start for the finals series.

    Beautiful weather for them, hope a few take advantage of the Qld coast.

    Geelong's last month: Dogs (GMHBA), St Kilda (GMHBA), Gold Coast, West Coast (GMHBA).

    If Carlton wins on Sunday, that'll be 0 finalists and not a single game where a final will be played.

    Our last month: Fremantle (Optus), Collingwood, Carlton, Brisbane (Gabba).

    If Carlton wins, that'll be 4 finalists on finals grounds (albeit we won't be playing a final at the Gabba).

    I seem to recall Geelong having a vey soft run into finals a few years ago (may have been the prelude to the pre finals bye) and being crushed by pressure when they were challenged by decent teams.

    We will certainly be match hardened.

    Swans need to kick 35 points. That's if the Saints do not score, for every goal that the Saints kick the Swans need n extra 8 points.

    Presumably they’ll kick about 60 pts at least. So you are saying that means swans will need win by 80 or more? will be difficult but not impossible

    Great win, but FFS Jaded and the others having a whinge about Brissy getting the last two goals have a good look at yourselves absolutely pathetic 

    And you were happy about the Umpire gifting one? Since when does the non adjudicating Ump call holding the ball?

    Much improved field kicking. We took a lot more on tonight. Kicks over players heads running toward goal worked beautifully a few times. Put us in better scoring positions throughout the night.

    ANB was doubled over off the ball and I want to know who punched him in the guts. Surely there will be camera vision somewhere of the sniper attack.

    Yep, from memory there was a trainer with him before he threw up.

    I had a long hard look at the tackle and subsequent dropping of the ball… maybe you should have done the same.

    If we play Sydney in the Qualifying final, I hope we perform like we did in the 1987 finals series. Played out of our skins against more highly fancied opponents and absolutely belted them. I was so happy for Robbie.

    My first trip to the Gabba and the boys made it a good one. Watching Lions fans leaving at half time was something I did not expect at the start of the night.

    Highly rated The Kozzie Show. What a bloody star that kid is. 

    Bring on September baby!!!

    • 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?
