    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
