Ok so as much as I'm not a fan of the cats I hope they thrash the bummers tomorrow night. I do not want them in the 8.I

Id be rapt to see Freo in there, so I hope they can beat Carlton and stkilda knock off the pies. 

I would only want Essendon to win to widen the gap between Cats and us, and the top 4, but as others have said a very dubious triple 50 meter penalty after the siren giving the Cats a one point win (or maybe a draw) would be schadenfreude.

I thought Essendon not having played at Kardinia Park for the past 28 years was a joke. But it’s not. Can someone explain why this is the case? And is it only Essendon who are in this position?

THIS

It really grinds my gears that the 'big' Victorian clubs have been protected from playing down there for years while we have to front up every year.  The argument about crowd size is void because barely anyone non-Geelong can get in down there.  Geelong gets an armchair ride and the big clubs get protected from playing at a ground where the home team have an obvious advantage.    

Imagine scheduling Richmond to play down there.  If Hardwick the germ can't handle Docklands his head would explode at the thought of the hour drive.

In regards to the conversation about which Victorian clubs play down in Geelong and why, I think it has more to do with whether the game would attract a bigger crowd and financial return if it were moved away from Kardinia Park to the MCG. As a guess this might be 65,000 for example. It's probably why Carlton have started to play games down there again recently as their notional home ground at Docklands has a capacity not much bigger than KP (and where Geelong would still make less money even if it were at capacity) and they would need to draw at least 65,000 if it were played at the MCG to make it worth moving. 

I think if both us and the cats could regularly attract those sort of attendance numbers in our home games against them you'll start to see that we play down less often and some other schmuck will end up taking our place.

Honestly ground invaders should get $100,000 fine. Especially during Covid. What complete brain dead nuffies. 

They probably couldn't pay the fine.

I would lock them up at the remand centre for 14 days and give them time to think about it and thereby deter others.

Listening to Spotify Daily Mix 2.

Duran Duran do a ripping cover of Lay Lady Lay (Dylan song).

I suspect that the above comment is slightly off topic.

Really nice cover. ?

I know we’re supposed to want Geelong to lose tonight but there’s just simply no way I can barrack for Essendon.

They make me ?

I am going to take a wild guess that Jack Riewoldt was an Essendon supporter growing up, it’s the only explanation I can find why he sooks so much. Seriously there was an Essendon supporter on SEN today still complaining about the umpiring on the weekend.

I also hate Geelong above all other teams that ever existed. And it’s better for us if they lose tonight. Sadly it won’t happen. You only think Essendon are great because the media is telling you they’re great. But they’re not.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
