Only good thing is Collingwood had to line up and cheer Selwood and the cats win!

    Did the Cats take amphetamines, or did they dope the Pies with Valium?   Swab the lot of them.

    Still, a long season and the Cats will tire by the late rounds. 

    Lights out early last night at the nursing home.

    Along with a Nafan Bucks you were not a great coach.

    I’m kinda fascinated in what Geelong are going to do in the next few years with their list.

    Hawkins, Higgins, Smith, Selwood, Blicsavs, Danger, Thouy, Stanley, Rohan, Ceglar, Menegola, Duncan and Stewart are all over 30.

    Even Cameron and Guthrie are both 29…

    And the players they have coming through that look alright (not superstars):

    I don’t think Geelong are a destination club after last year (If Im a 25 year old free agent and I want a flag, I’m going to Melbourne/Brisbane/Sydney/Bulldogs/Carltonbefore I even consider Geelong), soo do they go to the draft? With 13 senior players dropping off left right and centre of the next couple of years?

    I think Collingwood put their watches forward an hour instead of back.

    If Chris Scott had coached Geelong in a different era he would've signed Cliff Young as a category b rookie.

    Cats effort in last qtr was pretty good. They sent their Captain a fitting win and everyone contributed in my opinion.

    Full credit to them.

    What are the odds of Noble going around as coach next year? Sure he doesn’t have much to work with, but he is such a vanilla and boring coach.

    Geelong does still have that lifestyle card, if you consider high-class dining in Melbourne of a weeknight, with being a surfing-farmer-come-afl-footballer the rest of the time a lifestyle.

    Actually, it doesn't sound too bad now that I write it down. Too bad their jumper sucks and I can't stand anyone who has ever worn it.

    Without wanting to reopen old wounds, North are winning general and centre clearances, while losing by 95 points....

    So we draw a big crowd to our home game. Essendon failed us, so the least the Pies can do is earn us some $$$$

    Some things are worth more than money. Like the filth going on a nice long losing streak. Can’t put a price on that Mazer.

    The positive is the filth lost.

    The negative is girlong won.

    I still maintain that Geelong are on their last breath. 
    Collingwood like Carlton have come out this year playing manic footy. Manic footy is unsustainable for a whole game let alone a whole season. 
    The first half showed how weak Geelong is when under pressure from the opposition. The second half showed that Collingwood will be unable to sustain pressure for 4 quarters and have no idea how to defend a lead.

    Pies play exciting but dumb footy. They burned themselves out in the first three quarters. About the only side that will be more tired than the cats in last quarters.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
