There is something unsettling about two grown men calling each other ‘Richo’…

    Nah he's done pretty good to get Brisbane up and about. They were a rabble when he arrived. But should have moved on two years ago.

    He is good, good doesn’t cut it. He’s a great assistant.

    And before anyone has a crack at Spargo for not having a million possessions ask yourself how much influence Daniel Rich had on the game. That answer would be 2/5ths of [censored] all.

    All the talk about the Lions home record. 

    Geelong are in for the same shock when they rock up to the G for finals after beating up on poor teams at taxpayer stadium

    The Storm put 60 points past the Broncos tonight so they would have beaten the Lions also.

    Just needs a better defensive coach to help him. sacking the coach is likely to stuff it all. remember we shuffled some coaches and came back and kept Goodwin.

     

    Best thing they can do is assist the staff and upgrade the helpers. give confidence to the boys.

    Geelong's last month: Dogs (GMHBA), St Kilda (GMHBA), Gold Coast, West Coast (GMHBA).

    If Carlton wins on Sunday, that'll be 0 finalists and not a single game where a final will be played.

    Our last month: Fremantle (Optus), Collingwood, Carlton, Brisbane (Gabba).

    If Carlton wins, that'll be 4 finalists on finals grounds (albeit we won't be playing a final at the Gabba).

    Does anyone know what happened to Nibbler in the second? Was on the ground spewing his guts up, and channel 7 didn't even bother to replay what happened before it

    I did some sums.  Hard to predict scores BUT

     

    Sydney win 95-65, their % is 128.2

    Sydney win 100-60, their % is 129.7

    Sydney win 110-60, their % is 130.3

     

    Dees are 130.5

     

    But we can win anywhere :)

    I was worried all the tough games we've had would impact our fitness and energy levels. But we were full of run tonight and with a 2 week break will be cherry ripe for finals. Battle hardened as well from those tough games

    Geelong on the other hand. Playing practice games. No preparation for finals at all

    We'll beat the cats if we play them in a final

    I just watched Goody in his presser. I really love the bloke. Not sure he gets the love he deserves to be honest. Premiership coach and is just all team…could go on to be one of the absolute greats in my opinion.

    We need to celebrate Goody more!!!!

    I was at the game, he was down for quite some time but missed the incident 

    Someone mentioned Zorko earlier in the thread.

    I was in the Brisbane members area. The booing was quite pathetic by the crowd but it went strangely quiet by half time and there was so much room to sit!

    I loved watching Kozzy smash players and then Trott off and turn around and give the a gob full.

    We totally broke them tonight.

    So much fun to be there.

    Wow wee, found Goodwins post game interview pretty rousing.
    Doesn't matter who or where we play.
    Got the quiet confidence of a man who knows he's got the reigning premiers coming in hot.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
