Pride before a fall

sack Scott

I would happily take pick 5 if it means Geelong miss finals

 

It’s okay everyone - we’ll either get pick 4 from Freo or we’ll trade GC for it. Easy done…

In all seriousness why couldn’t have Geelong just done their job? Even in a loss I hate them 

Pick 4 looking shaky. Suns will get belted by Brisbane this week and drop below Freo on percentage. 

[censored] you Geelong. Pathetic reigning premiers can’t even beat a bottom 4 interstate team at home to secure a finals place. Absolutely pathetic today.

Pick 4's not gone yet. Depends on GC

A Geelong loss always feels good, makes the squeeze for bottom 4 of the 8 tougher for them. 

Yes, Glass-half because Geelong's chances of making the finals look very shaky:

GEE run home: POR (H), COL (A), STK (A), BULL (H)

As for the death ride:

CGS run home :BRI (H) - this round, ADE (A), SYD (A), CAR (H), NOR (A)

FRE run home: BRI (H), WCE (A), POR (H), HAW* (A)

* With Fremantle winning today the Hawks have pick 3 locked in so they can afford to play all four quarters.

Still currently hold pick 4 but we need gold coast and Adelaide to win some games now

They play each other next week so at least one of them will get a win 

Freo has Lions, Eagles, Port, Hawks 
Suns have Lions, crows, swans, blues north 
Crows have port, suns, lions, swans, eagles 

I’ll be cold in the ground before a bemoan a Geelong loss.  Book an early holiday Cats!

 

 


Picks are over rated.

Geelong probably not featuring in this years finals - absolutely priceless.

chris scott's boys must have had a round of flu - hohoho!

****test result today. Looks like we’ll finish with pick 6 now. Means we won’t have ammo to trade for Harley Reid and we will have less points to trade with Gold Coast too. So this loss is a double whammy for us. Gutted.


We should never bemoan a Geelong loss. Not to worry. We’re still getting a good pick.

And go Suns

Look at it from another perspective… Freo still plays both Brisbane and Port at home this year. If we continue winning, Freo coming into some sort of form could help nudge us into 2nd spot and a home qualifying final.

The only thing that trumps my hate for Geelong is my love for Melbourne 

Quite.

The Death Ride has now entered the final act.

You see, the flailing of the riders heading for the afterworld was always going to happen. And now, with Geelong wounded, the Fremantle Living Dead have Brisbane and Port in their last 4 rounds. The husked corpses of the west win those games and we rejoice, they lose and we chortle. Even if they were to win 3 of their last 4 from here - that would get them only above GC.

So I guess we need a new ride; the Gold Coast Love Ride.

Go Sunnies Go.

Cats vs Freo at KP

That'll sort out the % differential between them and Hawks!

I got that horribly wrong 🤦

  • 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?
