Selwood head high bump. 
 

“oh he’s probably okay”

”accidental”

here we go again

Selwood’s (to me) should be closer looked at than Green’s. He ran past the ball, collected the player head high, it was pure luck he didn’t get him worse. The action should be looked at, not the result.

Absolutely rapt.

I backed the Giants in on the punt tonight, out of hope more than anything. 
If we win we are back on the top 2 and maybe top if Essendon can beat the Dogs, which isn’t beyond the realms of possibility.

Just quietly though, I’m not keen on finishing top. Stats show teams that finish 2nd or 3rd and in that qualifying final go on to win the premiership.

Christian will show his very rare moment of consistency - consistently letting Selwood walk free.

I just want to finish on top of any of the interstate teams such as Port, to avoid a possible away final.

Not sure if it makes a difference dazzle ...we may move to second but lets assume cats beat us in the final round..they are still above us and are chances of top four remain the same. Our destiny is in our hands. It could mean top two for us if we beat the cats though. I think we still need two wins for top four in case Swans storm home.

Note to mfc...bring the pressure to Jeelong.

Giants setting up well behind the ball, tackling like tigers and TG on fire up front. Geelong ain't getting back into this

Yeah fair point mate.

Goes to show that any team can put on a show if they bring intensity/pressure.

Hopefully Giants crash Geelong's percentage

Ideally we finish top and play Port finals week 1

Friggin Geelong - appealing for deliberate OOB when the ball didn't even go out.  I guess they thought that the crowd (BT says there is a crowd) would influence the maggot.

Geelong are the walking wounded tonight, Giants have just lost Daniel but they should have the fresher legs.

Geelong % won't matter to us (unless they manage a draw sometime soon).

FFS  yet another 50 m free shot at goal - the maggots should get the coach's award from Scott

Green a genuine high tackle (no even a Selwoodesque one) in goal kicking range ignored.

It shows how much the crowd would influence the umpires if they were screaming. Its just natural. i really hope we have an empty stadium

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
