Geelong on alert after recording one of Victoria’s 20 new cases today

Surely the chances are slim to none

Misleading headline in the extreme.

Confirmed to have caught it in Melbourne and has been in quarantine whilst infectious.

    Next week too?

    Another week of lockdown and Baccus Marsh school shut again. Absolutely can’t see it happening.

    Crowds in Geelong was a media beat up all the way through. It would be absolutely ridiculous to have thousands at the footy in Victoria whole cases are in the community. Why take the risk?

    Saints a decent chance with finals on the line. Cats form is dipping

    Good fixture for us as Dogs, Port and Cats all play on Saturday so we will know exactly what the situation is come Sunday afternoon. In my opinion, a good position to be in at this stage of the season.

    Its pretty simple, beat Adelaide and get ready for Geelong which will be Saturday night the following week.

    Can it dip so far DD that Cats lose their last two and Lions win their last 2? If that happens Lions finish 4th and knock Cats down to 5th. Then again, do we want two interstate teams in the top 4?

    Nonetheless, exciting finish coming up.

    Geelong will not lose to St Kilda. Unfortunately.

    I think they could quite easily. No crowd at Cat Park. StKilda smashed Sydney last week.

    You’re probably correct but we said that about the Giants last week. It’s just a bit of fun picturing the Cats losing all three home games to finish the season.

    Yes it would be hilarious. But it won't happen. The saints played well last week so they will be shizen this week.

    i actually wonder, given that there's the 'week off' the following week, whether they schedule it for a 'prime time sunday evening' game to try and maximise what will likely determine who finishes top of the table

    I would rather forgo not going to a final in person than play a Home final against Geelong at Geelong.

    Empty MCG every day of the week or Tasmania.

    In the Gus and Gawny podcast Gawny mentioned we have a horrible record with a crowdless MCG. I can't remember the numbers but they were bad for a team sitting top of the ladder.

    We're 0-1-3.

    Lost to Richmond and Geelong last year, then this year drew with Hawthorn and lost to the Dogs.

    We're 3-0 in crowdless games at Marvel (beat Carlton last year, Bulldogs and GC this year).

    And we're 0-1 in crowdless games at Perth Stadium (Round 1 loss to West Coast last year).

    And given that we can't be the Friday night fixture, you would think that will be Dogs and Port.  So we will know ahead of time if Port has a top 2 spot (in which case we need to win to get top spot in order to avoid playing them at home in a 2v3 QF).  If they have lost, then we are playing for 2nd or 3rd place and that would only be of significance if the GMHBA home final delusion hasn't been extinguished.....

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
