Geez some lazy efforts at the start of this quarter from Melbourne.

 

[Steve Dore]

Where should Grundy have gone instead, assuming he was always staying in Victoria?

Norf?

 

[gbear]

The Geelong geriatrics may well get over the line. Means port will be 3 games clear of third and the crows outside of the 8.

 

[Coobk001]

Looking like a good result for us, Melbourne just losing key moments. Don't want it enough.

 

[PAFC66]

Who are these commentators. ****ing shocking

I think Geelong would need a few more goals to kick Crows out of the 8 and of course we will have to see how Brisbane go tomorrow.

[Powertron]

Neither of these teams can hold the ball in their F50 - they either score or it bounces straight out.

It’s a big point of difference in our game. We starved them both of opportunity to rebound which is what they rely on to score.

I missed the entire first half as we took my son to his favourite restaurant for his 31st b/day, (geez have those years flown by), switched on the teev when we got home during the 3rd qtr to see Max Gawn

doing his best Tom Jonas impersonations, with marks bouncing off his chest and various other fairly basic ball handling errors in what was a horror 7 or 8 minute period for him, but to his credit he did (sort of) get his act together later in the qtr.

I noticed that once again Squawkins was carrying on at the ump like the star turn at a teddy bear's picnic at 3/4 time, it's got me stuffed why they don't penalise him.

One warning followed immediately by another if he doesn't stfu, and a 50 metre penalty becoming 100 metres and a shot on goal for the oppo would put the kybosh on that crap.

What's happened to Burgess's vaunted fitness program?

Great club. Should give us hope as well given they were like us for decades and then turned it all around.

I am talking Sunday afternoon after collingwood annihilate the franchise.

 

[MrMeaner]

I’ve only seen part of this last quarter but Melbourne look very ordinary.

 

[gbear]

They are so used to getting countless soft free kicks on their home decks.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Now for St Kilda to roll Brisbane at Marvel tomorrow night

 

[Power Raid]

I wanted to be 3 games clear of the dees for a top 2 finish

But I also wanted the cats to drop out of the 8

I don’t know why but Hawkins always gives me the irrits.

Well you can’t have everything as it stands cats are not in the 8 due to percentage lower than the franchise.

 

[Adam_23]

Good result for Port. Bad result for the Crows.

Great night.

 

[Rising Power]

Actually highlights the stupidity of the tribunal and the fact accidents get penalized so much, if that wasn't a teammate he goes on a long holiday, but because it is a teammate he is let off.

Accidents happen in footy and we need to cater for them. Especially with this tackle stuff. Still can't believe Jonas and Sicily were suspended. Disgraceful stuff.

Maybe the system should be Cameron Ling deciding whether it's a dog act or not

 

[Winganeen]

The commentary chat is sort of "If Geelong make the finals, watch out"
(Same as us last year)

For me the sleeping giant is not Geelong, it's Footscray. Rate them as a top 4 side, despite their last month or so.

 

[Coobk001]

Wet weather footy changes the complexion of the type of game that was, but no doubt the Demons have really dropped away. If you stop them running the ball out of defence, they struggle. Really feel like they are a beatable team for us come finals. Collingwood still probably hold the greatest fear for me, especially at the G.

 

[GremioPower]

Geelong:
5 goals at 3QT.
6 goals in Q4.

Did the rain stop? Or was it just because I stopped watching it?

Melbourne just didn't want it. They came out just thinking it would happen, lost key moments through laziness and Geelong got rolling.
