    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.

    Cameron ling said today on the abc he no longer trusts rohan in finals. H and A form now means nothing. Should not be played in future.

    His words not mine. Lingy rarely critical of anthong geelong wise too.

    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
