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?

Double-fisted, no less!

Three rows back?

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.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
