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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
