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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
