All the Cats players looked fine when they had the ball but it seemed they had Ebola when it was time to defend. Just a bunch of one way runners who got badly found out.

 

If you look at the infectious disease reports it was more than likely rotavirus.  One of the main symptoms is “passing excessive amounts of gas”.  I don’t think Scott has fully recovered from it yet.

Scott was beaten three times by a superior game plan, which i believe, but he wasn't willing to acknowledge, he will be faced with this year, unless he is willing to rectify by adding just so much leg speed into his tired old players starting from the Bounce into a forward area that quite frankly will not function with those two in it..

It's worth noting that players such as Narkle and Dahlhaus were both available for selection but overlooked for the prelim. Instead the ''ill'' Brad Close (one of the 6) was chosen to play ahead of them.  Close isn't that far ahead of either that you'd take a risk with an unwell player if you didn't have to.

It makes you wonder how sick Close really was, especially as he had more disposals in the prelim than his season average.

It's fair to say I'm a little sceptical as to how much of an effect this illness had on the actual game.

I don't believe a bloody word of it.

Shoot, haven't watched this for . . . . . six weeks!

Maybe the notorious (but now distant history) 186 game should have been postponed - were there not  quite a few of our guys ailing from an old fashioned flu or gastro on the day?

I think half our guys on 186 day had pulled a heart muscle before the start of the game.

My favourite bit was where Scott says “The last thing I want is for it to be perceived like we are making excuses” to which Damian Barrett replies “I don’t think anyone sees it that way”

After the interview, they went out for drinks, went dancing, got soaked in a sudden rain shower and laughed their heads off about it, cuddled in the night bus on the way home, and I won't tell you how the night ended.

Apalling. Go to the Naughty Chair 

Immediately…

 

Postponed?! We only started playing after half time, isn't that enough?

But seriously, I agree with Scott here. To be truly fair the game should have been postponed at least until the Geelong players had a chance to get younger.

Did any of the Kitty Cats test Positive for Covid?

and when would the game be played once those same Kitty Cats were deemed healthy? 
In the same Podcast you also said that The Demons would have won easily, even if all your players were healthy. 
(Was Gary Rohan fit and well)
 

Better to say nothing i think….

Might watch the Preliminary Final again this weekend 

I watched it on Thursday, it’s awesome every time

That’s embarrassing.

Claiming cat flu is lame.

Long may we walk all over these vain , desperate failures.

Forget covid, the biggest medical mystery confounding the world's best medical minds is the rohan syndrome.

What to make of an otherwise fit young man, an elite athlete no less, coming down with a debilitating sickness every September.

Cause? They don't know. They only know the symptoms - an inability to perform his job to anywhere near a satisfactory level and a violent allergic reaction to leather forcing him to avoid the football at all costs.

Confounding.

Not just September.  Swans moved him on because he couldn't get the ball - a career ending move for most footballers.

So Scott wanted to advantage his team by postponing the game, but disadvantage us compared to the Bulldogs by shortening the time between the PF and GF?

well to compensate he then would have asked the afl for the delayed pf to be played as 4 x 10 min quarters, lol

Fair point, but I would argue we turned it right on after half time in both.

I mean, choose your favourite;

9 goals to 2 in a half to come back from behind to win the Minor Premiership.

10 goals to 1 in a half to enter a Grand Final.

This also highlights just how daft Scott's sickness excuse is. In Round 23 they had a second-half implosion in what was their third consecutive home game with full beaks between (Fri to Sat to Sat) against a team which had had consecutive 6-day breaks (Mon to Sun to Sat) with the first of those being in Perth.

They were also nowhere near it against Port in the Qualifying Final. Presumably they had gout or lupus or something that day.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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?
