Geelong v Casey Scorpions 

Featured Replies

Well Garry Lyon must be misguided too. Most of the 'experts' who saw the footage agreed that it was a little reckless but not malicious.

Thats right it was reckless. No argument there. Wojo should wear the penalty that comes.

 

Getting back to the game it was good to see that Sheahan and Taggert are coming along nicely. They are both really good ball users which we lack in senior ranks, lets keep an eye on them as the year rolls along.

I agree. Taggert is an intriguing player from all reports and very highly rated by the club. Fingers crossed he gets a taste of senior footy in preparation for next year.

A friend of mine watches TAC footy part time for a VFL club and told me that Sheahan is the most talented player we drafted last year. Needs time apparently.

I think this is symptomatic of having adopted the Geelong mantra of talent being given equal weighting with character in recruits.

You can have all the talent in the world, but you need to have the inner fortitude to capitalise on it.

Otherwise it just takes a hell of a lot more work to do that.

Five years ago - well played. Now if you chose to bump instead of tackle and cause injury gonski - 6 weeks.

The recklessness is not in the bump itself which I thought was elbow tucked and well delivered - the recklessness is in the choice to bump instead of tackle.

  • 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.
