Is anyone else petrified of the prospect of  playing Geelong in a final.

This mob has bullied us into submission since 2007 and absolutely embarrassed us as a professional sporting organisation, like no other opposing club has.

And the 3 most recent matches we’ve played against them, we’ve given it our absolute best shot and still come short. Hasn’t helped that Geelong have kicked 50.22 in stupidly lucky accuracy.

And finally....Dangerfield.

I think we’re a better chance leaving the G and taking on GWS.

 

 

Hell no. 

I think Geelong is the weakest side in the top 8. They wouldn’t have even made finals if their last two matches weren’t against 2 of the 3 worst teams in the comp at their home ground. 

We should have beaten them twice this season. A bit more experience and Gawn kicking straight and we win both. 

I look forward to the redemption of beating them in finals. I loath them and I want to play them more than anyone else. 

Hawthorn and Richmond scare the crap out of me. Geelong don’t.

    Have we?

    The record books state we’ve beaten them once in 12 years.

    To be fair we haven’t beaten many teams in the last 12 years and they did win 3 flags in that time.

    Yes Jaded but their teams that won G.F's are not playing in two weeks time. Cannot wait to play them in the finals as I reckon we have them and they know it. Several cat fans at our golf club are quite worried coming up against us. BRING IT ON.

    Well we mustn't forget what the record books say! Wink

    What's up with those Lions uniforms?

    The further they stray from traditional Fitzroy, the more bollocks they look.

    Collingwood finishing 2nd on the ladder with the double chance and an travel-free path to the Grand Final is horrible thought.

    I like the Lions, but today I hope West Coast beat them and hold on to 2nd spot.

    If the Methcoast drop to 3rd or 4th do they still get a home final if we play them. 

    I believe they’ve secured 2nd.

    Ah yes thanks. The app I was using to look at the ladder was a ‘live ladder’ which I didn’t realise.

    Looks like the Pies are heading back to Optus Stadium in a fortnight.

    The Exers kicked 2 more goals than Carlton for the year. Think that might be 4 years in a row?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
