Toby Green, the perfect definition of a flawed genius.

    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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
