According to BOM, weather should ease a little this evening in Geelong. Lighter milder winds and hopefully no rain.

In retrospect, I’m Strangely feeling far more confident today than last week. I thought I was confident last week but on reflection I don’t think I was. 

 

Dees by a couple of goals. Viney to respond. T Mac to respond. May to wipe that stupid effing face Hawkins does after he kicks a goal clean off. Smokey to drink too many beers again.

Well done to the melbourne fans travelling down to geelong. It's going to be cold, wet and miserable. But it will be fantastic if we could get the win. 

I expect to see a massive response tonight especially from our experienced players who were terrible last week.

As much as I would love the win, I am more keen on seeing a shift to the style we played during the back end of last year (excluding the prelim of course). I think the next 3 are winnable and some momentum leading into those is key. I love the ins and I feel they will give the playing group a lift. Big Max has been under scrutiny this week and if I think I know the kind of bloke he is, I expect a response today. I have a very close eye on Petracca as I haven't really been sold on his development. If he is to be a "match winner" through magnificent efforts in short spurts then he has to hit the scoreboard like De Goey can. I'm predicting a close win but won't be too disappointed if we lose and its evident they are heading back to the style and hunger that will get the wins going forward. Best of luck to young Jay, just love these types of stories!

For those that have an occasional bet on the Dees, Beteasy is doubling the bet on our match. so up to $25 is paying $2.35 So that = $47 times 2. This is only for our match.

Can’t see us winning tonight I think we are some way of our best and too many of our players are under done, will be looking forward to an improved performance from our boys. I went to the Geelong Collingwood game last week and the amount of  times the Geelong players played for free kicks made me sick, I have no doubts they are drilled by the coaching team how to draw them. Miers should have been cited for staging but or course wasn’t. Not looking forward to the lob sided free kick count tonight .

Hopefully it's like Sydney v Adelaide last night. Adelaide,  the away team, were given a dream run by the umpires. Not sure why but I'd take it tonight.

Geelong to win relatively easily. 

We wont be playing our best footy for a few more rounds due to poor pre-season for so many.

Not the end of the world if we lose, and i dont expect much from the Dees tonight.

I agree we won't be playing our best footy, but I'm not sure we need to be to beat the cats. Stop Danger and Kelly and you go a long way to knocking them off. 

Our effort should (hopefully) be up from last week, which will get us close.

Think the Cats will win comfortably tonight. We look a month off playing quality footy again due to lack of fitness and form. Very frustrating that we're into the season now and still not prepared. Hopefully it doesn't take us too long to get going or we'll be too far behind the 8-ball to come back.

Anything less than top 4 this year can only be classified as a failed season.

Well done to Jack on 100 games tonight 

That went under the radar didnt it...

No pleasure in saying it.

Cats by 40

Geelong far more capable than Port...and they're at home

They'll want some revenge also.

Just a rubbish day all round.

Good luck to the noobs.

Geelong arent all that good we can win this if we bring the heat

I was about to post the same.

Geelong (and most of the competition) are rubbish.

The last few years the competition has been the poorest in living (my) memory.  Geelong may well win tonight, but it won't change the fact they're just another ordinary team.

We are usually shocking in the wet - Vineys 100th and 2 first gamers will generate some energy. Expecting a 10-12 goal game demons win .

Last week was a perfect storm. Nearly every one of our best players had a stinker, it can't happen again, surely.

I think it will be a close one that could go either way.

Posted (edited)

Any chance of a late change given the condtions?

I don't see the need to play all 3 of May, Frost and OMac against a forward line that at most will have Hawkins and Ratagoluea. In fact, I don't see the need to play all 3 regardless of conditions and opposition. I'd personally leave OMac out, but it's a flip of the coin between him and Frost.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
