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.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
