Where and when: Gabba, Thursday 30th July at 7:50pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Rd 1, 2019: Melbourne 9.7 (61) DEF BY Port 12.15 (87) at The ‘G.
What it means for Melbourne: The Dees blew a golden opportunity against Brisbane last week. They need this one to stay in the race for the 8.
What it means for Port: Sorry to say it Dees fans, this is all about percentage-building for the Power.
Motts Watch: Gawny will be VC’ing a ton of teams tonight including mine.
Mottsy’s Tip: Port by 40. The Dees on a FOUR day back-up will find the ladder leaders way too much.

No late changes for either side.
no sat night / sunday teams ?
Sat team is coming out Friday, Sunday teams coming out Saturday if im right can’t remember
That is correct Tully S. Don’t doubt yourself.
Watching the channel 7 coverage and Hinkley mentioned a little bit about Houston having to help down back a bit tonight due to players in/out
With Minchington out, I’ve taken Aarts score as an emergency. Georgiades with the first goal of the game, don’t say I’ve made the wrong decision….
During the next 4 weeks of games, teams are dropped at about 6.25pm the night before the game. So only teams announced Thurs night are for Friday nights games. You’ll need to wait until tomorrow night for Sat games etc. Going to make things very tricky. We will need to trade in players, especially rookies, not knowing if they are in or not. Will certainly help if you can keep a trade or not up your sleeve for “rested” premiums.
Houston has gone back, and hasn’t been anywhere near it

Dee’s never have a game-plan, and are constantly worked over by coaches who have a strategy. They just turn out a bunch of talented players and hope for the best. When it goes wrong, Goodwin just sits there looking confused.
Port look like the Harlem Globetrotters compared to the Dees.
Really hope Georgiades would touch the ball more, started him tonight based on his 2 80s and the ball is spending a lot of time there but just not getting it
He didn’t deserve last weeks score only had 7 touches, 1 goal & a couple of good marks.
He does have good JS but he will score a lot of 40-60s
Georgiades went backwards that quarter and is only sitting on 6 after kicking the first goal of the game. Rarely got his hands on the ball since
Helps to offset the over inflated score he got last week
is georgiades dying
Half Time – Port in control 6.6.42 lead the disappointing Demons 1.3.9 and Oliver reported for striking (but nothing in it, according to commentators)

Looked like Oliver got him with his elbow. It was in slow mo, so that always looks worse.
Only a glancing blow and looked accidental so he’ll be unlucky to cop more than a fine.
Oliver reported for that? Why would umpire not leave it to MRP? Anyone for conspiracy theory?
It doesn’t seem to matter the calibre of players Melbourne recruit. You could put the Geelong, Brisbane, or Hawthorn premiership teams in red and blue and they would still find a way to lose.
Is Kochie umpiring?
Must be. Absolute insanity in favor of Port rn.
Well after last weeks FEE KICK VICTORIA EFFORT. I’m guessing sometimes the bookies get a look in as well. Consistent support for one team over another is criminal
Cmon Piclet and Butters…..Need a goal each and I pocket a nice 2fiddy
Come on Gawn! move it
Not his fault, Tully. Had 24 hitouts, but the circle of morons around him can’t get onto it.
Melbourne plays a good game last week and now they are switch off.
A prime-time flogging on free-to-air like this could spell trouble for the Dees. Normally They’re tucked away on Sunday arvo’s where no one sees how rubbish they are.
8 wins / 23 losses since the 2018 prelim.
Geez not a good start to my fantasy weekend
Wow, Melbourne is not even fighting…imagine people who left the C on Gawn…
like me
Imagine the people who just paid full price for him 🙁
Jeez, Gawn with 33 hitouts. More than TRIPLE that of Ladhams and Westhoff. Dees just so f*cking lazy, in turn depriving Gawn of HOs to advantage. Not much more he can do.
*sigh*
Watch Goodwin in his press conference talk about the positives for the night.
Now Gawn most likely won’t be good enough for vc loophole it’s gonna be a big point of difference with captain choices this week, could be crucial for your score
Who is channel 7 interviewing the dude looks familiar?
The AusKick kid? Think he plays for the Dees.
3/4 time – PORT 10.9.69 lead Melb 3.5.23

Geez not a fan of either club but feel like Melbourne have been absolutely stitched up tonight. Not sure what the count is but geez dees can’t win one
Feel like it’s been the difference tonight.
Yes obvious umpire bias
Media stooges are complicit
Last week was Free kick Victoria
Corruption
Bit hard for melbourne when Port have extra players out there
Oh please. Melb were insipid and you want to blame the umps in an 8 goal drubbing ?
sad night for me – gawn as captain, viney and petracca plus georgiades. I’m taking my bat and ball and going home to chuck my toys out of the cot and spit my dummy
I think the Viney M8 dream might be over.
If you had MacRae as VC the night before you should have taken it… but if you had the C on Gawn BEFORE your VC has even played, lesson learnt
11 Melbourne 22 port
Demons 5 free kicks in last 5 minutes so stats don’t make umpiring look wrong. 16 – 23
Yes it is organised criminal activity
Organised criminal activity and Port Adelaide……who would have thought?
🙂
That’s a score I don’t mind seeing from Petracca, another sub 100 to bring your price down so I can bring you in cheap!
Great time to spend all my cash bringing in Gawn,ffs!!!!!
Last night it was thank you Mr Pickett for ‘raising the bat’. Tonight I am thanking Mr Mayes for also ‘raising the bat’.
Love it when cheapies go big.
Where’d my avatar go?
It wasn’t me.

Thank you Lisa for the scores.
Found it!!
How do i get a avatar?
Your Avatar Frank is On your email profile. You need to create one there
Thanks but where is my emails profile?
Scores seem a little off to anyone or just me?
George 3.2 ……
I understand Georgiades had two 50s against him. But they barely did any damage. He kicked 3 goals with 11 disposals and only got 55?!? What a joke
Georgiades kicks first half goal. Has 7 a.c. points at the half.
Dees had 11 first round draft picks out there tonight.
Georgiades 7 points at half time. With Mark and goal
First Pickett (@M9) now Mayes (@M10) with tons while sitting on my bench!!!! From a $$$ perspective it’s fantastic but i just know one of my mids will probably score sub 100 and i’ll miss out on some quality points.
Who do you have on field???
Gone from projected 2400 and some,
To 2280 in the blink of an eye argghhh,
VC on Gawn hope Neale doesn’t let me down.
Brought in Oliver this week and Geoiardos forgive the spelling,
Oliver, not that unhappy about his score,
Played arguably the best side in the comp,
And as they got pantsed, could have been worse, and Georgiades showed he’s got talent and will make some dough which is why a lot of coaches got him in.
I’ve saved a trade for the rest of the weekend, hopefully won’t need to use it,
(Break in case of emergency) theory.
