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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
