I’ve never had this experience before. I’m watching the footy knowing we can’t win it, but that our best would crush both these sides.

What a weird feeling.

Agree, it’s [censored]ing embarrassing we were beaten by Brisbane last week

    And the Swans the week before?

    Every losing team says that

    Why does every team seem to bring their best pressure rating of the year when playing us (Bris last week, Syd, Bulldogs, Pies).  Hard to watch when our best is so much better. 

    Because we got our fitness terribly wrong and teams knew they could outwork us as we were exhausted.

    Why do Geelong have sequinned shorts on? Are they going to do a cabaret number at half time?

    Not until they have won the flag

    Geelong are cherry ripe.

    They're just toying with the Lions. Watch for the dam wall  break.

    Funny how Geelong look fit and fresh. Wonder if that's got to do with management of players through the season..

    Hmm funny that........

    Lachie Neale- 1 possession in the second quarter so far.

    You stop him, you stop Brisbane.

     

    Amazing and yet he might win the Brownlow but.... CLARRY has never had a single digit possesion in any game ...much less a final

    Lions ball movement is treacle slow ... setting up the Cats defence to a nicety

    Amateur performance yet they beat us

    Our players will be kicking themselves watching this

    What's worse is that Geelong aren't playing that well.  They've got no opposition.  14 shots to 4

    Yes I know a few Cats fans and they’re very happy it’s Cats v Lions and not Cats v Dees. We’d given them a real match. Ffs. I’m still angry about last week. In fact angry and disappointed and hurt with our two finals losses.

    My theory is our predictable, defensive, static game plan invites it. Teams absorb the early assault from us and then as we slow down and play even more predictably and defensively they can apply maximum pressure around the ball carrier and run off us.

    That, plus a cruisy run into finals and a week off to freshen up.

    A blueprint that (sadly) seemed to work well every time.

    Watching this game just makes me realise how last week everything just went perfectly for the Lions. They had an unbelievably lucky night and barely made a mistake.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
