    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

     

    But somehow they are still getting the better of the decisions from the mags

    I think you’ll get your wish. Can’t see a VIC crowd by 21 August.

    If the AFL make the dreaded Perth September decision, the Geel V Dees game could even be at Perth’s Optus Stadium.

    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.

    Right? Clearly didn’t go OOB but they appealed nonetheless. Pathetic knee jerk reactions from a side that knows the match is lost and instead of galvanising they’ll revert to desperate pleading for something that isn’t there. God, how I hate them.

    How good has Taylor been on Hawkins? He's a nice kick too. You'd expect Hawkins to have most in the contest but Taylor has beaten him a number of times and taken multiple important intercept marks.

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

    Walking wounded, from a RSL WW1 retirement home.

    Daniel subbed out through concussion from Selwood’s bump. He HAS to be suspended. Minimum one week (give him an extra week to be sure 😉).

    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 effects Port who are 1 win behind them. Could be the difference between us playing Port or Geelong finals week 1.

    Though Cats now only 4 goals behind, so % might well be moot

    But it probs would be two- or threefold had there been a crowd.

    Can someone work out if Geeling lose tonight what does that mean in terms of how many wins we need to secure top 4?

    If they lose tonight, and we beat them in 2 weeks time,  we could drop one of the next 2 and still finish above them on the ladder.

    Does anybody else hear the pure disappointment from BT and Brayshaw when the Cats don’t score, and the lack of enthusiasm when the Giants score?

    I miss Clinton, he got excited for the game, not the club.

    Selwood just bought a free far softer than the one ignored (won't say missed as that could imply a degree of impartiality) to Greene.  Almost resulted in a goal.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
