    Credit to the Cats. They belted them.

    Onto 2023 and if we add a quality KPF and tidy up our ball movement then we can take it up to them.

    It’s just past 11.am in BKK

    Whiskey time

    Went out with my new chainsaw and cut some great firewood. Resisted everything about the game. Now to find out the score.

    I switched off the TV at half time and took the dog for a long walk. Glad this season is over.

    Didn’t watch the ceremonials but did I hear correctly that Nathan Buckley was presenting the Norm Smith - the guy who regarded it with such esteem that he chucked it into the crowd?  Amazing.

    What a muppet. I can’t wait when they can’t make the 8 next year. It will be a hard pre season for the geriatrics that just filled their belly’s.

    Cats far too good for everyone else this season well done to them: but surely with the oldest team ever (I think I heard that) that’s it for them??

    Why?

    Their bottom 10 are not too bad and they can rotate and manage their oldies through a long season

    They were amazing

    Buckley tucked his medal into his sock, didn't he?  

    You may be thinking of Peter Moore and his runners up medal which he threw away in disgust.

    C'mon Geelong!!

    Couldn't stand the Swans getting a flag with all the handouts they get - priority "academy" picks Heeney, Mills, Blakey, Gulden, Campbell, poaching Buddy using their additional COLA Salary Cap, who knows what other "ambassador" payments they get to make outside the cap? 

    Plus my wife is a Cats supporter 😜

    You share a bed with a Jeelong person???

    Isac Smith should throw his into the river.  Just about the most undeserving of a Norm Smith medal I can think of.

    Just because they share the same last name.  Sheeesh.

    So after much reflection, I have very little interest in this GF.

    If I was to think about what is the best thing for the MFC I would say Geelong winning is.

    This is a team we owned last year and they went away, licked their wounds recruited smartly and changed their game plan from the boring predictable, easy to set up against game plan they had last year. It got them close but they were found out.

    Sound familiar?

    We blooded 1 new young player this year for 1 game. I know that we had 9 players 22 or under to win last years GF but there was no renewal with personnel and no change whatsoever to our game plan. Boring predictable and taxing.

    1. Any mystique about our much vaunted midfield was countered by many teams and is perhaps gone forever

    2. Fast ball movement against us saw teams break through our impenetrable defence and avoid the intercept marking our game was built on

    3. relentless pressure against us as the no 1 team saw us crumble in second halves

    4. Our scoring from the back half dried up

    5. Our fwd 'connection' was a disaster and nothing was done to fix it. Except moving a banged up Gawn to the fwd line which didn't work.

    6. We learned nothing from our 8 defeats that were in essence identical. IN 7 of them we were ahead by at least 23 points.

    7. Goodwin's mantra of not crushing teams but managing leads was a disaster once we became the worst 4th qtr team in the league bar NM and WCE.

    So. A Geelong win shows what can be done by making large changes to game plan, recruiting wisely and as importantly managing workloads (which we dismally failed to do against lower sides)

    And aside from that Sydney are so freaking smug, in players faces with 'toughness', pushing and shoving etc They deserve to be smacked down.

    Wow - just wow. amazing analysis.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
