This is not Melbourne. If they lose this from here it would be the worst choke in the history of the game. 

I would have thought the Pies choke in 1970 grand final - where they were 7 goals down at half time (I think) against Carlton - would be worse. Let’s hope history repeats.

Reid should never have played, especially when they had other talls like McDonald and Amarty fit and ready. Swans weren’t strong enough in the air to cover him if he struggled. 

So 1970 and 44 point adrift when Barassi said Handball Handball Handball. But they were playing the Pies so it was a lot easier.

It was a pretty bloody important game!

True. But Sydney don’t have it in them. 
I hope I am wrong because nothing would please me more than a Geelong choke honestly.

I’d much rather watch something like this right now…

 

Clarry needs a stylist. No one of his complexion should be wearing that red. 


It’s interesting to see sides fall away from one game to the next.

- Reid has been huge lately, massive loss

- Swans pressure being nullified by Geelong accurate kicking and dominance in the air

- Heeney hardly sighted, having a mare

Buddy Buddy Buddy. The most over rated footballer over the past 2 seasons. There I’ve said it.

Jeelong haven’t given the Swans any space to move. That has created the Dominance

Half time entertainment going about as well as the Swans. 

Yep, that temper trap song wasn’t the best.

Lucky he signed that contract last week. On the plus said Sydney has been so bad there is only one way they can go.


Clearly blew 99% of the entertainment budget on Robbie

Might have something to do with our game plan vs the frenetic attack at all costs stuff Geelong dished up to them in the first quarter, I suspect. 

Yes man v man almost everywhere in the first 10 minutes or so Mr Hood.  Think the bigger taller bodies of the Cats plus the all ground pressure unsettled the Sawns.  Especially their younger brigade.  The Swans have a few more sub 50 gamers (effectively rookies) than most finalists i believe.

It’s a great song. It was just brutally murdered in cold blood.

There is more talent on Robbie's left buttock than pretty much that entire bunch other than the drummer (not bad!)

Yeah agree with WCW it is a good song that was just a meatloaf type performance sadly.

The half time entertainment started as poorly as the Swans.

Pathetic would be overly generous 

 

So, even after feeling OK having had at least made the semi-finals, and the Swans being in the GF, it now looks as though I have to endure the Cats winning.  There is not enough Shiraz in the whole of Victoria to make that thought palatable. For the love of all things sacred, please no...

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
