It is quite a moment when a team has lost 20 games in a row and it is a shock that they are in last place!

    Dwayne Russell just called Jason Horne-Francis the Horn, as in...

    "The Horn is away"

    Please spare me, immediately after telling me what that even means.

    Port have a good record against Brisbane, they wont care if its up there.

    A Freo loss confirms our Pick with either be 4 or 5.

    North now with pick one so it’s a bit irrelevant really. 
    I prefer a Freo win so we are still in the hunt for second spot.

    Simpson, apparently they were about or going to sack him.  Then he wins, almost spiteful to take away pick 1 with the win.   Dog's are unbelievable.

    You know the AFL are going to do everything in its power to make sure it’s Collingwood v Melbourne for that first Qualifying final on the Friday Night.

    It will suit us more than going to Brizzie.   We can still finish somewhere between 2 and 4, if port loses today.  If they won,  most likely 4th, Lions should beat saints at the Gabba, locking in 2nd.

    Eagles supporters on Bigfooty are genuinely livid their team won a game of footy.

    One of the worst seasons in living memory and they still won’t get pick 1.

    But they will get the boy they want. Daniel Curtin is an Eagle.

    Yes, but they would far preferred to be able to get an advantage out of trading Pick 1 out. Effectively they now have Pick 3 as Gold Coast are likely to take Jed Walter at 2. In fact it could be worse if the AFL contrive to give North an extra Round 1 pick (Pick 2) as compensation for Ben McKay leaving as a free agent.

    Poor Adelaide. They’d be 9th right now with the best percentage and West Coast next week. Absolutely putrid result for them.

    Theirs was significantly worse than ours. 

    At least in ours there was an ARC review.

    Gutless as it was.

    I hope Hawkins and Dangerfield retire ASAP and we dont see Geelong in the finals for 2 decades plus.

    It wont happen. They have a 100million+ taxpayer funded stadium to themselves. They have a huge home ground advantage all other Vic clubs can only dream of. They can offer established players interstate a lifestyle that gives you both rural and city  social activities  but a cheaper cost of living . They always seem to have connections at AFL HQ. Theyre a media favourite so they dont get attacked relentlessly like Goodwin does.

    Melbourne doesnt even have  permanent training venue. We get almost nothing. Miracle we won a flag. Hopefully more coming.

    Stuff Geelong. I hope they become cellar dwellers.

     

    Don't forget payments from Cotton On. If anyone denies it they are dreaming.

    Imagine if they did and North took Curtin at 2.

    That will not happen now, as AFL have got out of it, as Roos get best player in the country to add to what they already have. Also they need WC to have 2.

    Amazing that 2 weeks in a row a faulty goal umpires call in the last minute changes the finals destiny of 2 teams. 

    The first one, ours,  the soft call was touched when it should been called a goal. The second last night not even reviewed! Intriguing to me that both umpires said  they clearly heard the touch ( hand / goal post) I mean with 50k plus screaming fans (at full voice) and hands and bodies whacking the posts and padding as the pack descends … how the hell can they say that with confidence? No clear deflection in either case so it’s all about the sounds. 

     

    These two decisions are examples of our god forsaken Umpiring Fraternity saying WE GOT THIS, but the sad facts are they haven't got a clue, and this mind you boys is as we go into Finals.

    The darling Media, us and all of this the final fanfare for none other than Gil........ and " i leave the AFL in good hands, a job well done, thanks for the cheque".  Not forgetting of course Racism and Concussion, a couple of little sideliners.

    I think it is still possible for Geelong to finish 9th

    Imagine if Norf also got a priority pick and a NGA pick.

    With picks #1 and #2, effectively the top 4 picks 🤣

    • 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?
