I'm actually looking forward to the Cats/Dogs game tonight.

I think the Cats are pretenders, they need to stand up after all the criticism but not sure they have it in them.

To me they rely too much on Danger & Selwood.

...by the way, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Dogs make a late change and bring back Libber if the rain continues.

    I'm in the same boat, although all the media attention that has followed the Dogs around since last year has me a little sick of them and happy to see them lose.  However, I can't stand Geelong and would love to see them get rolled on their own dung heap.

    I also thought they would bring in Libber but Beveridge has held his nerve.

    Very gutsy move by him.  Last year it was Stringer, now Libber. 

    Just shows no-one at the kennel is an automatic start. 

     

     

    As an aside, they should have rested Libber a few weeks ago after a serious concussion episode when he came off second best from a Mummy tackle.  He would probably be performing to his usual self by now if they had. rather than now having to drop him.

    Good first quarter. Lin Jong is such an athlete. 

    Dangerfield's diving would make EPL players cringe.

    seems the incorrect disposal/holding the ball rule is officially dead

    Some of the disposals were like boundary throw ins.

    What a great 1st quarter. Tackling was brilliant, dnagers 2 goals were good. The dogs just have a way to get out of bad situations. If the Bont could kick straight it would make him the complete player. But really enjoying it. 

    also the ground looks better two with all the new work done to it. Changed a bit when I was last there at that disastrous game.

    Dangerfield having a heap of it.

    Only just stripped him of my SC captaincy too.

    It's no coincidence that with Dangerfield up and about the Cats are also playing well.  Selwood is also having a decent game, which is further proof that the Cats are a two man team.  No Dangerwood, no Geelong.  If the Dogs can shut them down then they'll still win this game of footy.

    Does anyone know what the story is with all the kitty litter on the cats' jumpers tonight?

    Dogs should be 4-5 goals up

    but they have no Target up forward. 

    They still should win..

    No target and they're paying Tom Boyd 1m a year for SFA- that said he's better than his average tonight so far

    Sounds like the commentators are barracking for the cats. 

    Really bad commentary tbh. 

    May aswell get cat supporters from the ground to commentate.

    Jesse Hogan’s left testacle would be a better pickup for the Doggies than Tom Boyd has been.

    I hate Geelong. Hope the dogs can come back and beat them.

    I really hope we play Geelong again in 2017. 

    They are playing well tonight, but nowhere near what they were 2007-11

    Danger is at least 40% of the whole team. 

    Bernie can take care of that!!

    Wanting the doggies to do a Rocky here badly. Can't stand the cats and their pug-faced constipated coach.

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
