    Yep, ideal result for us really. Would have spent a lot of petrol tickets and got the win to escape scrutiny and maybe rest on their laurels.

    If this is the best Geelong can do against this mob its going to be horrible for them next week.

    Agree. I’m starting to feel a 4-0 season start .

    Haha Frosty showed why we were happy to get rid of him. Continues to run around like a headless Chook and butcher the footy with that last kick.

    I hope we have learnt from this short chipping keepings off crap these mugs have served up over the years.

    Put them in their place Dees.

    Geelong are absolutely beatable next week.

    They haven't looked that good in any of their three games so far. They don't play a style that traditionally scares us (i.e. they play slow), and Hawkins aside they don't have a forward line that scares me. They set up well behind the ball but the way we have moved the ball so far this year, I think we're capable of scoring against them.

    Game played right to the last minute, big hits, injuries, hot day, extra day break, all the perfect ingredients of fatigue.

    Beautiful.

    [censored], you would have to start scrolling the record books for the first 4-0 start in MFC history.

    I'd say somewhere in the 50's or 60's

    Agree they are gettable.  Need to keep the speed in the game, and respond to their short kicking bs (that drove me nuts when we played them last year).  Dominate the forward half play, have better method going forward and use more speed and we can split them open.  Need to be disciplined as the umps love them and they are a bunch of ducking snipers.

    1994. Which is also our last 5-0 start.

    Edit: unless you actually mean our first, which was in 1897.

    Oh frosty I was sad when you left but watching our backline and how they have started and seeing you do vital errors today I really don't miss you now. 

    Obviously stopping Hawkins is so vital next week but confident May can step up. I'm hoping Jezza does not play. 

    anyway it was a good game but dumb turnovers in the final quarter wrecked it for hawthorn.

    They really know how to milk and play for free kicks. The bastards obviously train for it

    Definitely Scott's influence (along with Selwood). They probably justify it by the 'whatever it takes' mantra

    If Geelong employ the same rope a dope tactics against us we’ll win. We have a proper set-up now behind the ball so they won’t be able to counter. We cover them easily in the match-ups around the ground as well.

    We will need to be ready for their s**those tactics though. They will duck, dive, pinch, poke and do whatever it takes to knock us off our stride. They really are a very dislikeable team.

    Yep. They know exactly what they need to do to win, and they will push it beyond the limits 

    (Watch the Guthrie Goal in the first Quarter) the new rule is far from perfect, the concept is great. But Guthrie exploited it to the max. 
    They scraped through and got 4 points

    Higgins out is massive, he’s the kind of player that tends to cut us up.

    Higgins is done...he's had very little influence in the first 3 games, just a couple of nice cameo's.

    Collecting his pension down at the Cats...at least it's not us.

    No excuses whatsoever next Sunday 

    We play hard and fast Footy for 4 Quarters, we win

    IF we switched on 4quarters every week we would win every week.  Doing better but still a way to go.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
