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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
