NON-MFC: Rd 21 2023

Serious outs for Port Adelaide. If they're to win they need to run the ball through the middle and exploit Geelong's lack of pace.

Come on Geelong (shudder).

    Who even has the time anymore to think about such an irrelevant club, let alone want them to lose, draw or win? They're just a speck of dust on our shoes nowadays. A team whose weekly fixture and glanced at result at the end of the round gets the mildest 'who cares' non-reaction if there ever was one. A club that deserves only 2-4 hours of my viewing time per year, depending on how the afl fixtures us. :laugh:🍷

    Ok.

    I guess this means after barracking hard for the hawks for the last 3 hours, I now have to do the same for Geelong for the next 3. The things we have to do!

    Equate it with the hatred for Boomer, the Kangas and their win streak over us and how it's transitioned to "Oh you still exist?"

    I think this may be a result of collingwood taking advantage of their position to get some heavy training in, doesn't make it any less enjoyable! 

    If that is the case they may end up peaking too late. You’ve got to time the tampering just right to be at optimum fitness while also training the least on prelim weekend.
     

    If you time it right you’re both the fittest and least sore and tired you’ve been all season. But it’s quite common athletes time their run too late and peak after their event finishes. I feel it’s too late in the year to get much benefit for the risk of heavy legs in September.

    Where are all the nuffies who say you shouldn't tag anymore?

    Nick Daicos has been totally ineffectual

    Do you mean nuffies like our Premiership coach?

    Butters destroying Geelong already 

    I hope when/if we play them again that we take better care of him.

    Weakest Port team for the year.

    Finlayson, Alir, Bergman, Jones, Dixon, Lycett and a few others out.

    Not a shadow of the team that beat us in Adelaide by 4 points

    Mckenzie now injured and Marshall maybe concussed.

    And really, teams have to use the bye period. Too late now.

    Yep. Geelong with a few key outs too. 
    My heart breaks.

    Tagging Daicos today was a bad move by Sam Mitchell?

    Yes, Goodwin should look at tagging more to stop players like Noah Anderson and Zak Butters having their way with us like they did this year.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
