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?

    You would know if they had -- they'd immediately look 20 years older

    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.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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.
