Simply hate watching footy televised from the SCG. So scrappy.

I’ve said it before. Our team is full of dumb/plain footballers. Not ‘game smart’. Still loved the effort but there were so many opportunities tonight where we just needed to do simple ‘team’ things that we weren’t able to do. Not to mention bad kicking for goal.

Why don’t they raise the main broadcast view camera (on center wing) higher so the game is easier to watch on TV? The perspective is just too flat - makes the game look even more congested than it really is.

What is it with Jones and wanting to nail a player 45m away amongst other players by foot and kicking off one step?! He does at least 2 of them every match and turns it over. Stop doing it mate, it doesn’t work and it’s horrible that a supposed leader of our club continues to do it!

How ironic that Scully is exactly the type of player we need.

I swear we’re a team full of dumb footballers. Switch ON!

My hate for Essendon runs deep, much much deeper than my hate for Collingwood – which is actually really deep itself so that shows you the situation I’m in with Essendon. Tear them apart Maggies.

[censored] piece of [censored] I’m [censored] over this club. Clean out the whole [censored] joint. Team currently looks like [censored].

Who the Freakin’ Hell is Max tapping it too? He’s bounce passing it off the deck to Swans players every EFFING time – work it out!!!

We’re so reactive. WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS??

Jones is finished. I’m sorry mate but if you can’t snap for goal on your left from 40 out and even get it to the goal square then it’s time to move on.

Coach Goodwin has a lot to answer for with regards to the ease of all these goals. We’re making them look like world beaters. Just fix it up already!

They keep kicking it on his head when he’s playing on Hurley. Kick it out in front of him and he’ll gobble up. Bad coaching.

I’m shocked at how bad we are. Genuinely cant believe it.

Nice bomb Jonesy

Thought Geelong looked really quick last week against the Pies and I can’t see us getting anywhere near them tonight. Would love to be surprised and this team often does surprise us, whether that be good or bad, but just can’t see it tonight after the way we played last week. Hoping for big improvements from our most important players. Go Dees.

Very impressive Magpies. So quick and skillful.

Melbourne is now paying $1.17 and Port is out to $4.60. Feels a lot closer than that to me. Have they made the call to take Ryder out of the game maybe?

Kids aren't necessarily at risk or in direct danger but is it okay for kids to see this sort of violence unfold in front of them? NO. Have you seen the video? The bloke went postal and started throwing huge punches. Absolutely appalling. Don't need to know any of the context. Violence displayed by this individual should see him banned.

Pretty happy I can now access my membership barcode on the app, which means I won't need to worry about lining up and picking up a ticket tomorrow given my membership card hasn't arrived in the mail. Good work MFC and Ticketmaster.

It finally clicked for Collingwood in the finals last year when rather than just bombing it in, they kicked it to a spot in front of Mason Cox which allowed him to run and jump at it. They took height off the kick and kind of just 'popped' it to him a bit lower and flat, allowing him to get a little separation from his man and if needed the ball was kicked on top of the head of an opponent which allowed Cox to jump all over them. With Weid's jump and reach we should be doing the same thing. So often it's just bombed and it comes down on top of him which is easy for the opposition to spoil and nudge him off just a little if needed. If we lay it up properly he either gets a good run at it and will crash the pack at the very least, and if he's blocked before he gets to the ball he gets a free kick. Pretty simple but it seems we're instructed to just get it in as quickly as possible.

Something about this score line is reminding me of recent bad memories. This club is at least consistent across both teams.

Just caught an audio grab on SEN. Mentioned the tribunal is underway (or about to be) and Melbourne will be attempting to downgrade the impact from medium to low and they concede the hit was ‘high’.

1. Welcomed a beautiful baby girl (our first) into the world. (Seems there might have been a few new additions for Demonlanders over the pre/post season?) 2. Avoided work at all costs and managed to get away with it (so far). 3. Made a real effort but struggled to enjoy the cricket this Summer.

Who do we all think will take out the Coleman? Riewoldt and Brown in the box seat but Hawkins playing against the Suns could have a field day. By the time Sunday rolls around Ben Brown will know exactly how many he needs and I reckon the North boys will try and feed him all day. Depends which Saints turn up as to how many he kicks. 60 Jack Riewoldt (Vs Dogs – Sat avo) 58 Ben Brown (Vs Saints – Sun avo) 57 Lance Franklin (Vs Hawks – Sat night) *potentially not playing based on recent commentary 56 Tom Hawkins (Vs Suns – Sat avo) 52 Luke Breust (Vs Swans – Sat night) - - - - - - - - - - - - 47 Jesse Hogan (Not playing) 46 Jack Gunston (Vs Swans – Sat night) 45 Tom McDonald (Vs GWS – Sun avo) Well done to Jesse and Tom who will likely both finish within the top 10.
