Time for Ken to go. Had his chances and they need a refresh. Hinkley to Bulldogs has been floating around the traps of late.

Is he actually a good coach? Which club is going after a guy who’s had 10 years and done nothing? If I was Port I’d be going after Leppitsch.

    Waiting for the “ Lions will beat us by 15 goals next week on this form” posts.

     

     

    We can't even beat them on our ground when we've practically been full strength.

    We go in next week without trac and lever isn't  a definite. 

    I'm not confident at all

    Reckon before we worry about lions we focus on Nth no gimmee the way where playing. Definitely something wrong at the club that Fred loss was inexplicable. Supporters are mushrooms kept in the dark and you know the rest

    No, he just likes whinging, criticising and posting the same comment week after week.

    Just a reminder to all Dee supporters. Here is the definition of Supporter
     

    someone who supports a particular idea, group, or person:

     

    Let’s get behind our MFC people. 
     

    Edit, stop poo-ing on the club. It’s ok to not be happy at times, but too many continue to harp on and on and on, and criticise the club.

    In light of our challenges forward GWS seem happy to just bang it fwd -easier to do that with Hogan and Riccardi there to launch and green to crumb

    they don’t seem to be much “lowering their eyes” and I don’t see super leading patterns or much “strategy”

    Sydney OTOH move the ball with great pace (which we can’t) and when the ball comes in that fast you don’t need a Gary Ablett snr to convert 

    we have neither key fwds who can compete in the air or a fast counter attack and our scores attest to that

    I do but we had no control in losing him 

    Incorrect.  We chose to trade Hogan, unlike Jordon who was a FREE AGENT.

    Gws have youth and speed. They dont tend to dawdle  ( i.e stop and let oppos sset up )   Something to ponder for us

    Carlton were amazing tonight, I do not want to play them in the finals.

    They are a lot like us in 2021 without being as good defensively. They will not win it this year nor any other in the foreseeable future. Right now it’s Sydney, Pies and Lions for mine.

    Swans v Giants looks like the third thriller so far this round. We’ll have the blowout game for sure.

    Has anyone been to gws's home ground? When I was staying down that way in Sydney earlier in the year I walked past it & it looked OK.

    Im not in denial and have my head buried in the sand that our club has botched up the last 2 trades with spuds & given away players with taken for a bag of chips

    Oh dear… just seen the Port score 😬😬

    Can someone briefly fill me in? Were Brisbane firing on all cylinders and/or were Port terrible?

    It's one thing to have an opinion but a different thing entirely to keep harping on about it and posting the same thing over and over and over and over again.  I think we all know how you feel.

    Leaving that one hanging @Dee Zephyr - 😅 which way is the blow out? 😇

  • Quote

    The Giants looked like world beaters early in the season. Their form drop off has been even worse than ours.

    If we lose tonight, the AFL should put up the poll of which top 8/expected top 8 team is the biggest pretender.

    Geelong last night, who handed the baton to Port today who are now handing the baton to GWS who better not be handing it over to us.

    Sure is. Other than Sydney and Carlton, we are the only other team performing consistently

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
