    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.

    Not a single reference to last year’s GF

    Thanks CH7

    what a hideous day this is

    F$&@ I hate Jeelong 

    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.

    • 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.

      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?
