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.

    worthy of a thread discussion in its own right

    • 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?
