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!

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
