From making NO decisions for weeks on end, the clowns start plucking them from everywhere - this continues to be a serious blight on our great game! No accountability for the clowns.

    Weird  - no wind yet definite scoring end.

    Everyone will claim that this is a wonderful fightback from the Cats, even though they've been given a heap of dodgy free kicks and simply benefited from it.  Makes you want to spew.

    How dumb is Cloke. Abuses the umpire and gives Selwood a free shot at goal. It kick starts there quarter. 

    What has annoyed me about holding the ball this year is when a player gets a fist on it the ump calls holding the ball but when a player is tackled and doesnt get a boot on it they let it go. Then Murph gets a dodgy free kick against him when he did get a boot to it. 

    See selwood still gets his high free kicks.

    Really? It's not complicated.

    Clown 22 is new, but 30 and 29 have been running around for years, imposing themselves, spoiling great games. One thing is sure however, there will be no comment from the AFL - and 22, 29 and 30 will be running around again next week. (29 was the clown who gifted Roughead the critical free and goal that iced the game against us two weeks ago.)

    Well no it's not. But the umpires have a hard time applying it.

    Dangerwood were enormous. Hawkins looks heaps fitter, Taylor was great up forward, Duncan was top notch, Tuohy, Lonergan and Mackie very good in the backline.

    When Cats turn up they are still a very, very good side.

    Dogs are playing patchy footy.

    Dropping the ball used to be the number one sin in footy. 

    It was just not done. 

    Now it seems to be the first reaction....

    That's all that matters.  They both had huge last quarters, but without them the Cats are distinctly average and they play fair weather footy.

    Geelong are easily bottom 6 without Dangerfield and Selwood, possibly even lower. It'll be good when Hawkins, Selwood and Dangerfield retire in a couple of years. They'll be hopeless. Their kids coming through would have to be the weakest in the league.

    Dogs footy relies on rugby scrum like pressure

    Nothing against the Dogs but I would hate to see it become the norm

    If that is a non-rhetorical question, it should have a ? after it, so I must therefore assume it is a statement of the obvious.

    Unless you are Murphy (at Kardinia Park) and actually kick it.

    Nope. Huge home ground advantage at all the non MCG / Doglands venues.

    Dogs have got their premiership, they can wait another 50+ years for another one! :lol:

    I haven't watched a single minute of this game but sounds to me like Geelong are ticking along without really showing much to terrify the competition. I wish we were playing them again this year, maybe we will!

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

        • Haha
