Oh great it's Selwood's 250th game on the weekend. 

 

Like the rather amusing time at Kardinia - 2 seasons ago the Cats celebrated Corey Enrights (who is a legend) 300th game or games record - pre match - (pre match, who the eff does that) as though the win was a formality. They don’t get up for their champions even at Kardinia ??

    So much talk of their midfield but without Henderson and recent retirements Geelong's defence is poor

    Possible line up:   

    Stewart   Taylor   Jones

    Tuohy    Kolodjashnj   Bews

    If we break even in the middle we should win this.  If Hogan is on Taylor it will be worth getting Hogan on his bike around the ground and out to the wings.  Pedo and Trac should be able to dominate in the air if we get it in quick

    If that's the case, Pedo has to make Taylor accountable. That becomes a key match up.

    He’s still a chance. I think there are some people at our club, myself included, that would like to be definitive now,” Scott said on Fox Footy’s AFL 360.

    “I guess it’s a good sign in terms of his recovery that we’re not in a position where we can say, ‘look he’s not playing, but we think he might be right for next week or the week after’.

    “He’s going well in his own mind and doesn’t want to rule it out. I think that’s a really good sign for Round 2 and 3 in particular.

    “I think more and more clubs are realising that it’s best to resist the temptation to see Round 1 as the finish line; we’ve got to take a bit more of a longer view.”

    That was Scott on Danger.  Makes me feel he's more unlikely than likely.

    Can you imagine the noise from the feral cats fans when ablett first touches the ball 

    It won't be anything like the noise we'll make when Trac kicks the sealer early in the first quarter.

    Right before he gets gang-tackled by our hungry midfielders and dispossessed. He doesn’t have a good record in rd1 games against us at the ‘G :lol:

    Wasn't it Enrights 300th when we beat them at the Cattery in 2015

    That was Mother’s Day 2013 wasn’t it? Still get the shudders remembering that one.

    I was thinking rd1 2015 when Viney smashed Ablett in Q1 and he was hobbled for the rest of the game.

    An unreliable source on fta tv last night advised that the Geelong Addie were handing out blood stained head bandages to commemorate the occasion with their next edition

    I think its entirely appropriate on this esteemed occasion that he gets double frees for his ducking and weaving .

    Is there no sentimentalty left in football ?

    Pedo will take on that challenge, rest assured. Inspirational ...

    Should a player of his eminence and standing even HAVE to duck for a free?

    Surely being somewhere near the ball is enough?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
