    Fritzel has a very punchable head, but other than that they're a very watchable side. Class everywhere.

     

    On behalf of Fritsch, I take exception to this comment.

    Bailey's head has the best hair in the AFl and is in no way punchable.

    I'ver personally copped some arrogant condescending remarks from too many Cats supporters over the past decade. Revenge is sweet, they'll be crying into their handbags now.

    I just watched the replay, and decided at one point to watch the Cats rather than the Dees. Very difficult, but I just wanted to understand how so many really quality players could play so poorly.

    They were atrocious. I mean MFC Mark Neeld bad. Dangerfield was very good, and at least Selwood was getting to contests and gut running. But the rest of the team were as bad defensively as Gold Coast at their worst. In particular:

    • Giving Kozzie so much room on so many occasions - he ran through forward stoppages unmanned time after time after time.
    • Very rare for them to put a third man up to spoil our marking forwards.
    • Sparrow so often left unmarked, unchecked running through stoppages and around the ground like a 19th player.
    • Total lack of defensive pressure around stoppages. How many time did Trac and Clarry run forward of a stoppage with no-one within 3 metres?
    • Why didn't they tell Stanley of Esava to run with Gawn? Ridiculous game awareness.
    • And you know that modern thing when a player disposes of the ball and then gets run into so he can't get to the next play? They rarely did it. Viney ran to contest after contest with no-one checking his run.
    • And that marking "contest" between Langdon and Menegola in the last quarter - total embarrassment for Menegola. Summed up Geelong on the night. 

    They have more than age to worry about if guns like Selwood and Dangerfield can play so well and the rest of the team can't fire up.

    Yes Kudos to Dangerfield, he gave it absolutely everything. 
    He must be filthy on so many of his teammates 

    look at Gary Rohan’s Telstra Tracker at halftime. 
    He stood still for an hour!!!

    My most concerning point from your post is it seems you have only watched the replay once.

    I know some will have different opinions on cat supporters but reading their forum on bigfooty they've taken the defeat with grace. 

    This comment stood out to me.

    We’ve just been beaten by the team that will probably win the next 2 or 3 flags so can’t be too upset.

    We are now being respected by opposition supporters.

    Seriously, where do they go now?  Rebuild from the draft (finishing 3rd or 4th)?  Surely no more “topping up”.  How long will Selwood be able to go on with his cheating ducking and throwing?  Dangerfield? Hawkins? Cameron? Rowan?

    Yep, most of them on BF are respectful.

    There are some though that insult us, though that would be the same for any other club. The thing is, the insult that we're copping (we tanked and/or got gifted draft picks to spark our ascent up the ladder) is just not true.

    We don't have any of our high draft picks from 2007-09 playing in this side. We barely have anyone from that area playing in this side. And a fair stack of the players we have in our side have come to the club in the last three years (i.e. when we've been building our list like a professional sports club), and/or been selected in in Rounds 2+ in the draft, and/or been traded in (again, smart list development).

    People who attack us for anything tanking/draft pick related are just numpties.

    Old Lingy shouldn’t trust anyone from Geelong ever again, the story about his leasing the Cunningham Pier from The golden boy Frank Costa is brutal. He had to sell the house to cover his debts.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
