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!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      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.
