looks like @binman 's prediction of JVR making a late appearance this season is gaining momentum with JVR emergency!

Probably just an emergency so he can see the family perhaps

I often wonder if they think there is one person out there that believes these type of team placements.

As an aside, this is Fremantle's first home game against us since 2015.

Which is utterly ridiculous.

I wonder whether there is any other match up in the competition where a side hasn't had a home game against another side in 7 years.

Couple of big Vic clubs haven't played in Geelong for a long time, so you could argue they haven't played a home game

Iirc @Lord Nev shared the info. 👍🏽 

Harmesy copped a knock early in the second. Not himself the rest of the game, no one had any idea why including the coaches. Apparently felt terrible the next day and then failed the concussion test. He's pretty flat about it by all reports, hope he's right and firing for finals - underrated team player.

It’s why it’s called a fixture and not a draw.

Thanks for explaining. I hope Harmsey is back to his enthusiastic, bubbly self sooner rather than later. Love that guy!

That explains his single digit possessions and might explain that kick into forward 50.

Surprised Banfield was dropped by Freo. Always seems to bob up and kick important goals.

He usually gets the sub gig.  Expect him there.

Harmes’ concussion was broken by Demonland was it not? This place is the sauce.

This may have been covered elsewhere, assuming this happened with a fair chunk of game time left, why did we not use the sub??

Poor Chandler..

Dead set best in form player at Casey who are 15-0, and yet still can't get a crack against blokes who've have been dead set ordinary for 6 weeks.

Thx WC... yes just read LN's quoted post lol.  My bad


I would love to see chandler get a game or two, we risk losing him if we cannot play him especially when he is in better form that some of the players who are playing now. i think we could have rested spargo or ANB to give him a chance.

Does this mean we finally see Gus back in the guts :O

Or Jordan with Gus to wing.

Tomlinson and Harmes out. Lever In. That increases our I.Q.  Tomlinsons weak efforts last week lost us that game. His cards should be marked. Harmes is just random too often.

Sounds plausible.  Spargoat for mine.  ANB seems like a player that needs the miles under his belt each week given his usual role.

Really looking forward to Kozzie playing at CHF though and him crashing the packs to get the ball down to Weideman and when Max is resting forward!

We have only had 3 home games against Essendon out of the last 19

Collingwood hasn't played at Geelong since 1999

Essendon hasn't played at Geelong once since 1993

With 8 defenders, maybe Gus will tag his brother in the midfield and get in his ear about coming to Melbourne....

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
