Seems the Dogs can’t win when they don’t win the free kick count 😆

Love seeing the Dogs lose!

Both the De Koning boys have got great hands. Them and the King brothers are the next wave of talls who control the air.

    If I had to pay Kayo an extra $100 a month for a feature that turned off commentary & just gave the crowd noise, I'm paying it. In fact, in this day & age why doesn't this feature exist? Or does it?

    Why don't they put time back on the clock when they call back a bounce? Another fundamental flaw of the game.

    Not sure what Bailey Smith was thinking with that headbutt. There was at least 5 other Geelong players he should have gone for first.

    Yeah, I just watched a replay and I think you're right. Just a forearm into the back and pushed May off balance and into a high speed collision.

    Cats seem to be experts at it 

    …. and getting away with it.

    Dogs backline is poor as is their forward line. Midfield is good. Geelong don't have a midfield and one player on their backline and forward line. Stewart and Cameron. Neither of these sides are a threat.

    Bailey Smith. Fake tough guy and then goes missing in the last Q

    100% unsighted this qtr :)

    Probably ended up costing them the game with that brain fade.

    ...and on a similar note, the dogs have a couple of players with short arms. Did not commit to contact in marking contests in the 3rd Q.

    ...and another other note, Weightman. I don't know, the dives, the acting in general play, nearly ending the year of that kid at Geelong by taking his legs out. He needs a good kick up the backside by his coach for a start. At least the umpires have woken up to him. At the moment he's a liability in big games. Koz was the right pick that's for sure.

    ...and another, other, other note. What was Treloar thinking? If Smith didn't cost them the game, Treloar certainly did.

    I'd love to see Ben Brown step up and do a Jeremey Cameron performance and kick a bag of goals. 

     

    Let’s call a spade a spade- BBB is having a poor season.

    Nowhere near the Coleman contenders for someone that’s a professional goal kicker.

    Is it fair to say the Dogs are officially out of the premiership race?

    Need to go 9-1 to sneak into the top 4.

    I'd say so. Might go on a run and finish 6th or 7th, possibly win a final then go out. That's how it's tracking.

    Absolute full credit to Geelong tonight.

    Lost their best defender and arguably best player in Stewart which could’ve had the potential to destabilise their structure and had 5 of their best 22 out.

    Not to mention they had their big lead pegged back but had the character to hold on and never give up.

    Dogs in real trouble to make finals - may need 13 wins this year given how terrible West Coast, North and Essendon are. That means 7-3 from now on with a tough draw

    Are they still mentally crushed by what the Mighty Dees did to them in the GF 2021?  They look very fragile.

    Was going to say the same, NQR since. Would love Naughton in our team though, he is what i thought Weid was going to be.

    With their draw to come even making the 8 isn't a given

    Exactly KW.

    13 needed this year and its the old question.  Who goes out for the Dogs .?  For mine there are at least 8 teams above them.  Bailey Smith did another 1 way running perforamnce a la GF final 1/4,  and Naughton seems overated and young de Koning was excellent.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
