Just wanted to thank The HawthornFc for taking Frost out of our Backline. Cheers. 

The difference now with Tomlinson backing up May and Lever is like chalk n cheese. And agree thank HFC

    This game just re-affirms how big it will be beating Cats and Hawks because both good in spurts but average for vast stretches.

    The one thing this shows is that we cannot allow Geelong too much time on the ball.

    The cat's aren't exactly fast are they. I hope the Hawks stay in this game and make them earn it.

    Going to be hard to beat Geelong and the umpires next week. Absolute armchair ride here.

    Both teams playing pretty messy footy

    very much agree

    Cats just that little better and of course a couple of goals in those last few minutes.

    Hawkins not afraid to use his body and risk a free when rucking in the forward line. Easily negated by a big leap and knock but the trouble is you can't be sure where the big tap will go to.

    Does anyone else think Geelong are the most boring team in the AFL...

    I will go back and watch a bit more in a mo but seriously they make doing some housework interesting.

    Geelong’s defense is their main strength. Should be a low scoring affair. They are immensely gettable though.

    Higgins out with a Hammy. Who’s going to snipe Oliver now?

    Geez Geelong have been unimpressive. 

  • Quote

    May and Lever will be salivating at how slowly Geelong are moving the ball.  If we keep the defensive running effort up, harassing the ball carriers and stay reasonably well organised, it'll be an intercept marking party.

    They are in real trouble without Dangerfield to break things up and create attacks.

    I'm quietly hoping Petracca puts on a show to make them really feel how much they are missing that attacking power.

    Oops, and that's Higgins gone, so they are even thinner for the inside-50 deliverers.

    Wow, how slow was Mitchell then?  When we play Hawthorn Jones should tag him for the speed advantage.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
