NON-MFC: Rd 04 2023

Very un-Sydney like to let Port back into the game in the fourth. The last kick will hurt but they never should have been behind at all. 

Meanwhile I’m looking forward to seeing if St Kilda can produce this football against a reasonable side. An opening month of Fremantle, the Dogs, Essendon and GC, all in Melbourne, and three straight Saturday night games, is not exactly taxing. IMO jury remains out, but beat Collingwood next week (or at least play them well) and that will change.

    Really hope the Mccartin boys are ok.

    Was watching the Syd v Port game, the boy looked out of it, could not walk and was being carried off by two trainers he won't play for a month IMO.

    Lions v Magpies 

    1. Lions very very hard to beat at home 

    2. Magpies lack of a ruckman is a weakness to exploit 

    3. Magpies goalkicking accuracy in 2022 was amazing. In round 3 & 4 it’s been woeful. 
    4. Nick Daicos seriously must be favourite for the Brownlow 

    5. Charlie Cameron loves it when the Lions are front runners 

     

    Daicos refuses to run the other way when opp have the ball and Squibed a contest BIG TIME last night. Not a Browlow medalist IMV

    As a Norwood/Melbourne supporter my whole life, I simpathise with Swans supporters because that is a typical Port Adelaide win . Play [censored] football all night but somehow conjure a win from a pile of rubbish.

    He shouldn't play again if he knows what's good for him.

    He should never play again!!! If he does that’s sheer madness. If tonight’s event doesn’t spell the end of his career, what will it take?????

    He was too busy pushing Bergman in the back.

    That knock was as innocuous as it gets on a footy field. I just can’t see how he, or his family, are ever comfortable with him playing a contact sport again.

    It’s only a game. He’s achieved so much and should be so proud of himself, but you have to think long term.

    It wouldn’t have affected any other player. They would’ve jumped up and carried on playing. Surely his mum will see that distressing footage of him being helped to the bench like an old man and talk sense into him. I know I would.

    Correct on EVERY LEVEL... If he were my son I would be PLEADING with him not to play anymore. My own son gave it away after some horrendous Knee injuries .. AND Boy was I relieved.! But Concussions, particulary as many as he has had really should resonate with him. Paddy, I salute you for getting back on the Horse son, BUT Please think of your future. Take care P.F

    St Kilda have looked more impressive than Carlton and yet Carlton are 3rd favourites to win the flag.

    Aside from Sam Walsh, Carlton aren’t getting any better while the Saints have got some big guns to come back.

    If St Kilda beat Collingwood next week, I’m declaring them a premiership chance. It’s not as if they’ve fallen over the line in their 4 games, they’ve completely blown their opponents away by the final siren.

    Bulldogs are in the thick of the action and are likely to be a good side,  while Freo are talented and could still play finals. I’m not sure I agree that St Kilda  haven’t beat a reasonable side.

    I'm backing GWS somewhat optimistically today.  They were so close last week against Carlton even with Toby Greene essentially out of the game.  If that umpire call didn't happen then maybe they'd be going 2-1 right now.

    Totally agree PF. Was nothing in it at all, barely hit his head but it was the side of his head around the temple area, not good signs for him at all.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
