Round 15 Non MFC Games

Featured Replies

 

Footscray lost players before this game and were cruelled by injury to others during. I reckon they had every right to celebrate, and if it took that many on the mark to ensure it, good on em.........hope to see it again.

The Dogs still have some very good players who can punish when they’re up and about. They’ve done us a favour with the cats plus the cats shot themselves in the foot (about time someone else did that), but it’s a good warning shot for not only a few weeks when we face them but this week with the saints. Underestimate ANYONE in this competition at you’re own peril. 

 

If I was Chris and Brads Mum I know who I'd choose !

I feel sorry for Lin Jong, poor kid, had a cruel run. Also dropped before 16’ finals series from memory and starred at VFL. Has talent

To celebrate like that after a missed shot in a HOME AND AWAY GAME is just childish and pathetic 

Not sure if serious. I thought it was great that they celebrated a hard fought win. 

 

How nice it would be to see the Dangerfield era in Geelong amount to nothing.

Still annoys me they got him for virtually nothing.  With the Swans, Crows, Demons and Richmond the next 4 weeks they could be in real trouble.

Dangerwoodlett.   The three stooges.

Are the Dogs permitted 15 players on the mark? If not, could the ump give another kick with a 50m penalty?

Perhaps it should have been a 50. It all depends which player is on the mark of course.

Danger is overrated, such a terrible kick who snags the occasional freaky goal. Having said that, he’d be handy at Dees but his disposal is poor and commentators cream their undies over him

Just remember Rod how Cam Guthrie carried on when max missed his set shot to win the game in Rd1 , sometimes what goes around comes around , but no issues with the dogs celebrating, they nearly choked in the last few seconds twice in the space of two weeks and have had a bad run this season,

No, they are permitted one on the mark and the rest of the team can do what they like behind him. 


It makes you wonder why 15 players don't go on the mark all the time. I know it would look stupid but why not put pressure on every goal kicker? anyway of course th doga re going to react the way they did. They celebrated because they won, not because Harry missed. 

But if you said at the start of the year that geelong wouldn't be in the 8 after round 15 you wouldn't believe it.

Watching the replay a few times. It was hard to work out who was on the mark. They were all very close to each other and jumping all over the place. I assume they were all behind the mark.  A trigger happy, biased or all about me umpire would have difficulty resisting temptation. If that scenario was in Adelaide last week and Port were shooting for goal, then most likely a 50 metre penalty would have been found.

I can't believe it's R15 - felt like yesterday I was watching us win the JLT cup

Because normally you would have 15 opposition players lining up in the goal square for a certain goal ??


Interesting to see what the Cats do with Tim Kelly. WA clubs coming hard according to Jon Ralph after homesickness is becoming an issue for his partner. 

19 possessions and a goal in the last quarter. On the Geelong boards they are happy for him to go back as long as they receive 2 first rounders in return. ? They would also happily take Gaff in a trade.

New Umpire Rule for Round 15. Att all Umpires, please note that all Clubs with Letter starting with E and C, along with H are allowed players to have five paces off the mark line before calling play on.....  otherwise they have no advantage.....PR tweet....

Blues can roll Port today if they bring big time pressure.  it is Kade Simpons 300th, don't let him down boyz.

Two other huge games in the race for the 8 -   Adelaide vs West Coast and GWS vs Hawthorn.

Hoping for the Crows and GWS to get up.

Suns have about a 12% chance of beating Collingwood but stranger things have happened.

It's a shame Caleb Daniel was injured as imagine him on Tom Boyd's shoulders for the man on the mark...

If it was last week, the umpires would have reported our whole team behind the mark, for bringing the game into disrepute.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
