So much for Geelong's new 'territory' game plan. 

Geelong aren't coping with pressure.  

They look stuck between their old game 'control' game plan and their new one.

    How awesome us it to have the best player in the past 15 years in Lance Franklin not be an egotistical [censored]. He seems so down to earth despite his stardom. He has every reason to be arrogant but seems pretty cool from the outside. 

    Never won a Brownlow? The umps don’t know the game

    Heaney is a star

    He would be if he put a consistent season together. Has all the skills. Will this be the year?  He has been a tease to date imo

    Hope it’s Mitch Swepson who takes the last wicket!

    Both teams far too Franklin focussed. 🤔

    I acutely don’t think Sydney are at all. They haven’t been passing the ball to him at every opportunity. 
    Now the game is won they can and should try to get him to 1000. Frankly it’s a distraction I’m sure they want to get it done.

    You really do wonder though how much of a risk this is to the players. No chance that nobody in that crowd has Covid.

    Bloody sensational effort Buddy! Same end as Plugger’s record breaker.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
