The cats blown away early but fought their way back to take control of the midfield shutdown Bont and Hunter and just lift their work rate across the ground. Gave the dogs no time or space to run and link up. Great coaching by Scott and effort by Danger and co! Wouldn’t hurt our boys and coaches to review how to shutdown a fast running team. Hard to tell on TV but was it as simple as Geelong going man on man after the first quarter to get the game into an arm wrestle? 

 

Dogs were two down on the bench for the second half, which I'm sure hurt.

However it happened, that result helps us.

Dogs have to win out to get to 10. They have West Coast, Hawthorn and Fremantle. If they lose once more this year, they can't do better than 9 wins and we currently have 11% on them.

The fact that we're only a game behind them but we have two extra games to play really helps us. If we can somehow win tomorrow, we'll be so much closer to ensuring we finish the season above the Dogs. Will then only need to make sure we outpace Essendon and Carlton from there.

If the Dogs had won tonight, our path would have been significantly harder.

It looked like men on man to me Earl!

Every time a Dog got a sniff there were at least 3 Cats to cause a turnover. Bloody impressive. They'll take some beating if they can maintain that form.


I know it helped us with the dogs losing but gee I did want them to win. They did so well in that first quarter then barely kicked a goal after that. 

Josh Bruce is a liability to the dogs. He does nothing and is a shocking kick for goal. 

Typical, Wallis did nothing tonight.

? Oh well, top 4 and I get my money back. Could have been worse. Could have backed the Dees. At least I am a chance of getting my dough back.

Is there any chance Port might play an away game anytime soon?

Freo are  a sneaky chance vs GWS today.  A Freo-Demon double would be huge for our finals chances.

That's the one we need. Hopeful.

Two of their last three are away.

They'll finish the season with 7 games at the Adelaide Oval and 10 somewhere else.

Hardly complaint material.

Dogs impressing me so much I just put $50 on them at 20/1 for the flag.

What odds can you get now? Damn, football is a fickle and cruel mistress this year.

gotta say, i find the constant referencing to gambling odds on this forum a bit yuck

i have no trouble with people gambling, and i understand a lot of people love wagering, but given the dees' stance of 'love the game not the odds' i am not a huge fan of it

Giants are up and about.  Their A players seem very switched on.  At this rate they will build a decent %'age.

Hoping the dockers find their mojo, fast!

Terrible one side umpiring - all for the Giants.

Edited by Lucifer's Hero

Giants have a very winnable run home. They ooze class but cannot quite click... watch out if they do

If the Blues lose tomorrow you would fancy the giants to take the last spot in the 8.

It's certainly difficult on a forum like this to please everyone wwsw !

Can you believe that some posters complain about my smut and sexist remarks?

It's an odd world we live in.

Regardless of what you may think of Toby G. He is one tough player who gives his all and we could do with a few like him.

They just showed footage of Green giving the Freo guy a tummy tap/punch identical to the one Lynch got fined for 2 weeks ago.  Lets see how hypocritical the media are and if they go after Toby because he is a 'bad boy' of the comp.

GWS found their 2019 form today and beat Freo by 6 goals gaining a 5pt %'age boost.  They are now 8th with a %'age of 101.8.  Even if we win tonight they will be difficult to dislodge from the 8 as they have a slightly easier run home than us. 

But if we do win tonight we might dislodge the Saints from the 8.  ?

They are out and will find it difficult to get back in.  But who knows, the last few spots are up for grabs.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
