Top of the head Sunday morning rant.

Would not mind if Freo won it.

I'd also cop GWS. Love Tobes and Jesse.

Pies and Blues always repugnant.

Port are undeserving as is their coach.

Brisbane would be almost acceptable.

Had a gutful of the Cats and they're probably not good enough.

Dogs are a chance but not sure they can maintain this form which needs a 2016 repeat.

 

Nope can’t stand them and three first round picks this years they’ll get more talent into an already talented side. 

 

Shout out to GWS for saving their inaccuracy for this week as opposed to last week.

Accuracy and efficiency is GWS’s one wood. If they don’t have that then they’re not much of a team.

Port, Brisbane, Freo and Bulldogs have the form going into finals. And Port remain fragile and their form can disappear very quickly. I can't see genuine finals aspirants among any of the others striving to finish in the top 8. 

I continue to believe that Brisbane will not win a GF with Zorko in the team, and with Hipwood as a main forward target. Daniher is playing outstanding footy when he is away from goals, but if they expect him to be a main forward force, the finals will find him out.

Looks like Freo v Bulldogs to me.

Looking like an utterly boring September….

Media say anything about him playing, without any punishment at all, for at the least, being out at 3.00 am at a nightclub last week, drinking and maybe doing more and ending up unresponsive, taken by ambulance to hospital?

Can imagine the coverage if it was a lesser club. Absolute silence from a totally beholden media.

If only there were still journalists employed that could ask why being unresponsive because of substance abuse is different from concussion protocols?

It really is time for teams to get multiple alternate strips or away strips like soccer. Last night was a joke and now Giants and Hawks are hard to distinguish in the sun. 

Seriously irritates me, I wonder why we have to wear an alternate jumper against Essendon and Carlton don’t against Collingwood. 

Commentators should be banned from using the word laconic.

How will Goody be feeling watching the hawks go past us and have won 2 more games than us & pushing for finals … the drafting of our recycled players diabolical 

Observations 


Giants kicking for goal  v Dees straight  v hawks inaccurate!!!  Daniels miss from 15 metres out in front   FFS

Umps favouring hawks clearly.  Hawks have been holding the ball several times. No free kicks. FFS. 
 

But Hawks do take on the game and run. Guess what? Open forward line. 1-1 contests.  #AreYouWatchingGoody.  It’s a simple game !!!!  Dees slow and wide. wtf. Then it’s a kick to a contest.  FFS.

I hope he feels angry 

If he is tearing up, we have no chance

Yeah. I thought it was just me. If anyone had genuine problems, they would be [censored]. In the sun, the dark and light orange/yellow strips are difficult to tell especially from aerial shots. 

Hawks play two easy beats so that’s 14 wins for them

[censored] me

Dambrisio. Chol. Amon. Frost. Meek. Impey. Ginnivan. All 7 having very good games.  All picked up with loose change draft picks.  Hawks kept first and second round picks then topped up with other club recruits for key roles.  Its a simple game footy. 


You would have to say on paper we have a better list than the Hawks, but their style of play and game plan is working far better than ours.

It may be due to a lot of factors,  but it is certainly starting with the coaching.

“It’s been a brown and gold tsunami here at Manuka”.
Thanks Kelly Underwood for that lovely description. 
And good afternoon to all the  personal care workers and residents out there.

Umpires are getting GWS back in the game here. They’ve forgotten the change in rule re. 50m. 
Not surprised. They forgot most of the rules Friday night.

Kelli Underwood and pointless score reviews is a bad combination.

Vs Billing’s, macadam , schache, Hunter , Fullerton all staring & @ vfl level, not sure how they got this so wrong and can’t expect all to impact but barring Hunter who is struggling we have no gains 

 

If Freo and Lions win the top 5 on ladder will be interstate teams after this week. And if it stays like that, the AFL will be rapt to have only one MCG final in the first week. Hehe

  • 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?
