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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
