Need a better second half from Oliver. He’s been quiet by his standards. 

He’s a second half player, particularly against a tiring side. He’ll be right.

    This game should be over but it’s certainly not. You just need to your opportunities when they come.

    I'm filthy at the last 5 minutes, the missed chances and the umps. You don't give the Cats a look in. On the upside, the geriatrics have been run ragged, so I'm not sure they'll have the legs, but still. This game should have been put out of reach.

    We'll reset and come out breathing fire, but geez it's hard to wait until then. The HT wait is tough in these games

    Geelong look tired. 

    We got this.

    Yes but Danger's still got a few good dives left. He's not done yet

    Disgraceful given he holds a respected position in the Players association.

    He need a break on the sidelines to consider the example he is setting..

    we out scored them in the 2nd which is supposed to be one of their best quarters. Time for the fitter dees to run over the top of them.

    Excellent first half.

    Gawn robbed of a free kick before Smith kicked that goal.

    Lost a bit of composure in the forward 50 at the end, need to be taking out chances.

    That Fritsch miss was a bad one.

    Clearances and conversion still the key.

    Hawkins casual whack to petty’s head on the boundary akin to causal racism. Needs to be called out by the umps.

    x costly Goalkicking misses Trac And Fritsch were 80/20 chances 

    🤮umps - gifts for cats

    Fritsch was straight in front, Tracs was on an angle.

    I had a sleepness night last night, but when I did drift off had a vivid dream of the final score tonight, and BOG.

    Wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.

    Would it be bad luck to post it here?

    In your dream was the Dee's who won?

    Fritter and Petracca should have kicked those goals. Game would have been almost over at half time. But now Geelong have a sniff. If we lose from here, no one to blame but ourselves. Having said that, I would take a 5 goal lead at half time on a prelim any day of the week. If our fitness is as good as we think it is, we power into a granny.

    You’re spot on. Sadly, it’s now or never for Maysie. If he can help us get there, his job is done, because he won’t be there in 2 weeks.

    Maybe they think he won't do any more damage as long as he plays within his limits and he's out there to general the backline on 1.5 legs

    heavy tag on oliver as expected, no frees for the constant holding, high tackles, etc.. gawn constantly being held and pushed in the back and gets nothing.

    No idea how a two hander full in the back in a marking contest is ok, but a couple of hands placed in the side in a ground ball contest is a free.

    Whorekins gets away with it  every Ruck contest and nearly every possession he gets. Mutt.

    I’m not comfortable yet, but if we get to 44pts up there’s no way this Cats side is coming back from that.

    This game has a similar feel to it as the Brisbane win. We were 9 goals to 5 at half time and wasted plenty of scoring opportunities in the 2nd quarter.

    So nervous I could spew. Come on boys!  Trac and Kozzie have done some ridiculous things - skills simply on another plane.  Viney a beast.  Take our chances when we have the ascendancy and we've got this!

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
