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.

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.  ?

Can we please have subtitles when they sing the Giants song?

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

  • 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.
