Nankervis was Gawn like, almost...nah... feel sorry for tiges.

I must be old school but there was a moment and 10min mark of 4th qtr where they could have buried Stewart with body contact and didn't, Demons would have planted a tombstone

    Cracking game

    Entertaining from start to finish. Any game won by less than a kick is worth watching, but that was great to watch from the outset.

    The FOXTEL team have been pushing the “sympathy” card for Tom Stewart all night. Will the AFL have the guts to give him the 2-3 he deserves. (I really do not like Geelong).

    David King said 5-6 weeks if the AFL is serious about concussion. Stewart played a good game, but you can very easily make the argument that his hit on Prestia was the difference in the game.

    Great game between two middle of the road clubs. Richmond clueless on how to ice the game.

    That was an absolute cracker. Don't mind the Cats getting up. Don't want the tiger army stinking up the G in September.

    Hate both those [censored] of teams ....but it was a terrific game!

    Yep, seeing the winner celebrate was going to be vomit worthy no matter the outcome.

    cats got the 4 points but at least there percentage didn't go up by a lot.

    Their percentage would have dropped slightly.  I'm tempted to say "by a whisker".  :D

    King massively overrates this sort of thing - 2-3 is about right.

    These are two good sides. Geelong are a better side this year with Stengle and De Konig.

    Cracking game to watch. First time I’ve watched cats play in while. They didn’t look like a bunch of old men this evening.

    I've also noticed players getting pushed in the back in marking contests and not being paid. It's more than holding one's ground, the aim is to take the opponent out of the contest. I thought Neale's mark on the boundary Punt Rd end was a clear push out. I think Petty got a good shove in another 1:1 contest

    Happy for players to hold ground, but not if it clearly takes the opponent out of the contest

    Yes it happened a number of times in our game Thursday night, player in front obviously pushed forward with the hands under the ball. And I always thought that the push in the back rule was created to stop the player behind merely pushing the player in front to take a mark or otherwise take possession by disadvantaging the player in the front position. This seemed the main reason for the rule but is now not being paid. But we still see umpires paying frees for falling into someone’s back when they are already on the ground or when you tackle someone and both fall forward. If you are strong enough to spin the player around it’s not a free even though you made contact with their back. So it seems it is now a “landing in the back” infringement rather than a “ push in the back” rule?

    Wonder if the cats will fade, given their declared loading. 

    Loading or old age?

    Agree. He’s a great, and usually fair, player - but that was everything we’ve been told the AFL wants to get out of the game.

    % Would have gone down actually.

    Tigers ran out of puff. Their mistakes in the last quarter were horrendous. Geelong just fed of their mistakes.

    100%. Terrible mistakes.

    Tom Lynch, whose entire job is to be the deepest forward on the ground, takes a mark at half back, turns around and plays on, and is shocked to find there’s no one in front of him. No Tom. No.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
