Lance Franklin has been one of the greats of this era if not the best, I hope he can get to the 1000.

Long way out from finals but it looks like they’re dragging him to the 1000, finals… who knows.

Several Geelong platers have "clearly shown displeasure" when penalised but no 50s like in our practice game v Carlton.

Even handedness or softening in interpretation?

Buddy looked to have some… VERY… choice words for the umpire after that push in the back that he thought was against him… No 50.

The new interpretation is supposed to address players talking back or questioning umpires, I reckon I’ve seen a lot of that in small doses in round 1 already. Sooo, what’s the point if it isn’t enforced all the time?

Instead of allowing some players to talk back but not others depending on the umpire, creating a blurred line, the AFL might as well just make a rule that you don’t talk to the umpire during the game. At least then you aren’t leaving it up to interpretation.

WA has a very narrow definition of a 'close contact':  15 minutes if both not wearing a mask.  So most of the players probably don't have covid but are caught under that definition and have to isolate for 7 days.

It can happen over and over again to WA teams. 

So the "Science" is different depending which state you live in 😕

 

I just want Geelong to lose. However it is only half time. The swans had a hard game last week and Geelong had a softie against Essenscum.  Second half will tell a story.

Yep he is now a c+ player well past his prime. 

Please. Kicked 51 last year and missed a few games. He is still a gun

Yes.

WA teams are exposed as 'close contacts' every time a player gets covid.

Have we ever tried Weideman at half back?

 Dont think so, would not mind seeing him play there at Casey first.

OMG Cats just too focussed on Franklin - leave others Heywood Heaney free.

And looking slower by the minute.   Maybe they shouldn't be scheduled to play after bedtime.

 

AND again, Henry talks back after in Franklin's back - no 50.

Can’t wait for McCartin v Petracca thread again.. 

Brad Close has kicked three goals. He could kick 10 goals and find a cure for cancer and that’s still not what he’ll be remembered for. Not by Dees fans, anyways  😉

Franklin getting nothing from the umpires. Umpires have no game sense 

Really Jaded? I've seen him throw the ball twice and not get penalised. And I'm wanting them to win.

His marvellous punch when Guthrie kicked the ball out on the full in R23?

Yep kissed on the uknowhat again. 


Can we check Dangerfield’s buzzer please? 

Hard to hate the swans. A tough midfield, buddy up front. P Mc at the back. A great coach. No ego, no nonsense

i do get annoyed at them being gifted top picks in the draft when being too 4 but that’s my only gripe

999 goals. Unbelievable. 
Reckon he gets his 1000th tonight. 
It’s insane to think we will probably never see anyone kick 1000 goals again.

I loath Papley but otherwise they’re a bloody good team full of guns. Well coached. Disciplined. Hard at it. They’re fun to watch too unlike the old days of Sydney being boring.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
