And our game plan has achieved exactly what it can. It demolished inept opposition...and stalls against anyone knowing what they are doing. 

Footballs equivalent of the Peter principle...in a fashion.

    Even lowly Brissy have Beams Hodge Zorko and Martin

    In essence I totally agree with you 

    This is why I wanted Sloane,,, and to ADD to our 26 & 27Yr olds this year...   as they lead our kids to higher standards.

     

    We are not what we think we are. 

    Bottled supporter bathwater again, being overly Optimistic;,,,   then the switch turns,  and we go full lock Pessimistic.

     

    The truth is in the, 'in-between'.

    This is the bit that worries me the most. 

    Where is the tinkering and adjustments?

    seems to me we play pretty much the same way each week against different opponents....

    Yeah I was referring to you in the ("yawn") bit...

    Just 2 kicks going the other way and we'd be sitting 2nd on the ladder playing to set up a home QF this week. :cool:

    ....and 3 days ago we were in the 8 'by default'; which was a pathetic call.

    It really is swings and roundabouts - if the two games against Geelong went the other way the Cats are sitting 12th and missing finals after overachieving the last 2 season's and topping up with Ablett to have a tilt with Dangerfield in his prime and Selwood on the downward curve. Does Scott still get a 4 year extension if that's the case?

    My wife is a cats supporter so I see a lot of their games. A lot of cats supporters are not overly enamored with Scott.

    Geelong has recruited better than any other team IMO in the past 12 months.  Their mature aged recruits (Rata..., Kelly), really surprised us round 1.  Jack Henry is a multi-dimensional tall that should go close to rising star.  I know Scott doesn't necessarily 'recruit' and that is Wells' job, but Scott has done really well to keep Geelong from bottoming out.  Don't forget he was there at Freo during their resurgence for memory.  Opposition coaches rate Scott.  Whether they won or lost the close games this year, it is immaterial.  Only nervous MFC supporters and Lyon get dictated by results, rather than fundamentals.  Look at Roos on OTC last week.  He wasn't panicking like the rest of the pack. 

    Having said that, we will pump them in round 1 of the finals IMO.  See how Ablett and co. don't run defensively from congestion on the OTC footage tonight?

    I don't disagree but they would be feeling the heat from supporters who thought Ablett might be the difference between 3rd and a flag.

    I get to most Cats games, family is surrounded with Cats supporters. Most supporters are outraged by his 4 year extension and many wanted him gone, or at least wait until the end of his contract to see next year. Has crumbled in finals, inherited his list from Bomber and tried to top up every year. Tried to buy a flag with Danger, who cant hit the side of a shed and has held on to many injury prone players and dead wood while they don't have a lot of top end junior talent.

    I think he's quite overrated as a coach, who was blessed with a core bunch from their glory days. Not to mention he's an arrogant pig. This season has been a failure for them "so far" with that midfield. He'd want to get them close this year and not hanging on to the 8 next year or their will be a riot at Kardinia Park, you hear it in the crowd during games.

    All supporters see is they have only won 3 of their last 11 finals, not good enough with that list.

    Goody has said all season that it only matters where you are at the end of Round 23.  He has shown so much patience and faith in the team.

    He looks like a genius now compared to media clowns like Terry Wallet.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
