Well, at least we have a contest. A bit of a change for a Friday night game...

Two good teams going at it in a close, exciting contest? Yawn. When do Carlton get thrashed?

Must admit I have never had a man crush on an opposition player but I think I have one on Wines.

Reminds me a lot of Viney.

I hope to hell that our guys are made to watch this game as a group. They might see just what sustained intensity really looks like.

Finals like pressure

Our Jackie boy is much better than that! If he had those numbers our great fans would be burning down the gates of the G. Todos son and all.

No thanks, I'll keep Jackie Boy.

Bloody hell, how good is Blicavs??

So infuriating that a team like Geelong almost seem to have transitioned from the old into the new seamlessly. Their intensity and pressure tonight is immense.

Shudder to think what a team playing like this will do to us next week.

He's an absolute ripper and love watching him play.

Who I hate watching is Rivers. Loved him as a player for us and it's hard watching him playing good footy at another team

I did too, but in my mind I associate Rivers with the Daniher era, which feels like such a long time and so much pain ago now that I'm able to let it go. Happy that he's had the opportunity to play out his career in a good side - I truly didn't think he'd still be kicking around at this stage.

Noted one of the commentators snorted after Bruce made a comment along the lines of "Rivers seems to have turned into a real player since moving to Geelong."

Hey PF, SWYL and cronies, the humble pie is baking nicely boys. See you at Etihad late Sunday arvo you drop kicks. It will be ready for you to munch on.

Very happy for Rivers. Unhappy that Bruce suggests he is a better player at Geelong. Was always a great player at the Demons. Just not noticed by the media for obvious reasons

Lots of interesting disussion about the tactics teams are using to stop Port's gameplan this year. I don't think they've necessarily gotten worse as a team, but everyone's just worked out the game plan.

The fast running, very offensive team from last year took the league by surprise (as did the Bulldogs early this season), but Roos definitely led the way in stopping their run. You flood the corridor and make their quick kicking style impossible with lots of contests and manning up. Geelong did an exemplary job of this tonight, and deserved that win.

Great to see Clark miss out on it, too. In fact, they are playing better without him.

Mackie and Fox commentators already basically mocking the outcome next week for Enright's 300th, discussing the post-win festivities in the final match before the bye.

Sigh.

I clearly remember posters here saying about six years ago that the game was too quick for him.

And what Humble Pie would that be Sambo?

Slightly off topic, but I was reading a bit of Punt Road End the other week and one of the posters was quite impressed with "Blisars."

A good effort.

Blicavs is quality but the media's love affair with him is nearing Rioli levels. Did I hear Ling declare him to be better than Jim Stynes or did I mishear?

Channel 7 commentators are the kings of hyperbole. Awful.

The always-impartial Tim Watson was talking about how Geelong are now apparently eyeing off top 4 after tonight. Staggering.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
