Scorps can't raise a gallop as Cats get the first two goals of the third term. This is going to hurt.

Good to c the MFC players in the magoos are putting their hand up to play in the seniors.

Can we please end the season now and make all appointments ASAP.

Am over all this crapola and season.

    Thanks for the updates KC.

    Any comments on a couple of the young runners for the Scorps? Are Barry or Strauss getting any of it? It also sounds like Rivers has held Hogan since going on to him, or is that more a result of a dominant Geelong midfield strangling supply?

    Three Quarter Time: Geelong 16.8.104 to Casey 7.8.50.

    Last four goals of the quarter just when Casey was getting back into the game. Cats are pretty well dominant everywhere and the Scorps resistance was blunted by the blitz in the last 10 minutes.

    It doesn't matter.

    It does matter, captains are leaders as far as footy goes - usually men.

    Viney, Hogan and Jones are men... Trengove is not a man.

    I don't know, maybe it would be easier if I just kept bumping Kingding Alings Jones for captain thread to drill the point around here.

    No, it doesn't matter. Players like Viney are way too young no matter what cloth they are cut from.

    That is the point I was making. I suspect you're misunderstanding my drift. Don't feel alone.

    Final siren and the Scorps are in danger of dropping out of the top four unless they pull their socks up.

    Viney is definitely too young for the captaincy, I agree.

    Final score Geelong win 19.11.125 to Casey 8.11.59. Scorps in danger of dropping out of the top four.

    Anything to hold our hat on for next week? Any players to bring into our main side?

    Casey will get a few back, at least they should.

    Strauss putting his hand up with almost weekly appearances in Casey's best player list.

    I just don't get it!

    Why not just let him play the last few games of the season in the back pocket? What have we got to lose? (Would much rather him than a Dunn or Pedersen)

    As i said in another thread, I'm pretty sure he ran over NCs cat.

    Blease and Strauss should be getting gigs ahead of Pederson and Dunn because Pederson and Dunn are not part of our future.

    Dunn is a turnover king and Pederson a spud.

    We need to at least see if Strauss is up to AFL, we know Blease is, he is just inconsistent.

    Blease in the VFL can be explained, he'll be a demon next year... But Strauss we need to see more of.

  • Quote

    Surely Strauss would be worth a Run, unsure on Blease, think Kent plays the role we want Blease to play and will become better at it within another year, blease may be the crumbing forward we're after but i am really not sure.

    Viney is certainly too young to be captain, make Jones the captain for god sake,

    might be worth giving Trengove a run at casey, not that he hasn't been making solid contributions, just to play in a team more likely to win, remember what it's like to dominate games and maybe get used to not having the pressure of being captain of a basket case again?

    Blease did and then made the most of that opportunity with a 4 disposal game against North.

    If Strauss doesn't get a game this week after another naming in the bests something is wrong.

    Does anyone know if the Tynan mentioned is Luke or Josh?

    Blease and Strauss are not the replacements for Dunn and Pedersen.

    Pedersen was pretty good yesterday actually.

    I know, Blease is a replacement for Davey - who stamped his papers this week.

    Blease will come in next week, I understand why Blease sometimes gets dropped, it's just a consistency thing.

    Maybe they pull their hair out with Blease a bit, which is understandable.

    Pederson was ok yesterday and knowing our great club, we will probably reward him with a contract extension.

    Strauss hopefully comes in just so we know whether he is even worth persisting with.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
