Yeah, the same virus the bulldogs had in the last half of the grand final................. The Demon Variant.

As a Geelong resident I am yet to meet a local cats supporter who welcomes Scott's re appointment. 

But I dont hear steven wells copping it for woeful recruiting and list management over the past 6 or so years. Resting on his laurels from the excellent list build of 16 years ago. 

I suspect the cats hierarchy see change is needed and moved him sideways and installed andrew mackie now in the key role.

I agree with you certainly over the past few years but I still have my favourites. The "filth" and the "druggies" in no particular order. Horethorn closing in quickly.

They are now saying that the PF flogging was all to do with a virus that swept through 6 of their players.  IIRC we were struck down with Flu the weekend of 186 but it was never used as an excuse.

Well they have to come up with some excuse for their members to swallow for their PATHETIC performance  

It just makes me laugh at the bs coming out. 

Wonder what bs they will come out with next season when we beat them again on their home turf. 

They are a bunch of entitled sooks and it starts with the coach, captain and players. 

God I hate geelong.

The belting we give them in 2022 followed by Scott getting the sack.

Aren’t they dutybound under OHS rules  to notify AFL medicos and MFC medicos they are sending potentially sick players out there. 
They only had a minor final - we had a Grand Final to play. 
What if Trac and Fritter got infected with cat flu?

Simple. Beating the filth by a point after the siren in a grand final.

I struggle with this.

I'm never sure whether  (1) I want to crush Collingwood from the opening bounce, or, (2) just remain a goal or so ahead of them for the whole game just to keep their hopes alive only to have them crushed at the end, or, (3) be something like 7 goals down at three-quarter time only to overpower them at the end.

Hmmmmm .... let's try out all three and see which sits best. Might have to do each one two or three times to be sure.

Smashing them as we did in the prelim must go close.

Sorry I just read the other post that mentions this. 

Cant delete so I'll just add the cats have had it over us for a long time and it's great we have totally turned it around in only one season.

Return the favor and beat them by 186 would be sweet

Already returned.

83 with the last ten mins with May, Lever, Oliver, Petracca, and Gawn on the bench.

That’s humiliation. We kicked them over the cliff.

Well I mean the older age are more prone to getting sick, and their all due for their superannuation in the next couple of years!

You guys are all too hard on the cats. They are just super unlucky. WA had only 1 flu case in the entire 8 week period leading up to the prelim, and despite being in isolation they managed to pick it up and have it run through their entire team.  You wouldn’t read about it.

https://ww2.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/Corp/Documents/Health-for/Infectious-disease/Notifiable-diseases/2021/Week-38-statewide-notifiable-disease-report.pdf

Or maybe they heard about the 1 case of leprosy in WA for that period and thought it was one of our players, as they didn’t seem keen to lay a finger on us.

I've thought for a while Wells was overrated - made his name off one or two drafts (1999? and 2001) and some very lucky father son picks. His record outside that was very hit and miss.

Nah - just belt them. No excuses, no blaming the umpires, no flicker of hope.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
