Playing interstate in the final H&A round. 

Good shout.

We’ve played at MCG or Marvel in the final round just twice between 2016-2023. The rest have either been interstate or in Geelong.

    Playing West Coast in Perth.

    Every. Single. Year

    yeah, good call.

    And how many times have Haw and Coll played eagles in Perth and Geelong at Karak Castle. And how many times in the same year.

    We usually play the crows in Adelaide as well although AFL couldnt fit it in this season.Did however kick us down to Tassie again.

    I dont mind playing 7 or 8 interstate our win record is the best in the comp.  AFL treats some clubs better than others. Hawthorn should of gone to the Cattery this year not us FFS

    Eagles obviously lobbied  AFL to switch their cattery game to Adelaide.

    Why dont we try that??

    Tommy Mac will kick a goal and Luke Darcy will mention that he was out the door at Melbourne and stayed as no one else wanted him

    Commentators referring to Kozzies out-of-contract status at least once every round until he re-signs.

    according to journos he's already "out-of-contract" despite the fact his contract has a full season to go

    go figure

    This terminology of language around football contracts has been used since the 90's. Most journo's I've read have always said he's out of contract at the end of the year so technically they are correct.

    What about the Great Geelong Flood of 2023, where the New ground got flooded out and destroyed

    I can run with that, only as long as the flood was caused by a burst sewerage line.

    except that's not true. most journos are lazy and just say "out of contract kickett"

    it's not that hard to get it correct

    Dangerfield going for Olympic gold in the high dive. He attempted a reverse triple somersault with a forward pike after the merest suggestion of contact, but only managed a belly wacker.  The umpires were suitably impressed and awarded him a free kick.

    Oh, it’s real. Last year I went there and we were ushered to a parking spot whereat the attendant asked if we were Geelong members (despite being head to toe red n blue with flags n banners in the back seat). We said no and he said that’ll be $15. Curious, I asked him why he needed to know if we were Geelong members to which he replied, “it’s only $10 for Geelong members.” Walking towards the entrance I asked a few Geelong fans what they’d paid and they all said $10. 

    Did you give him the extra five in cash?

    No, it was all on card. And it wasn’t just us, others in the cheer squad were charged $15 as well. And it wasn’t just one guy doing the job so it must be a thing.

    I'll shorten it up to make it flow better, life, death, taxes and free agency.

    Also shouldn't the title be 4 certainties in life!?

    No problem. Never been down to the cattery and never will.

    Can't understand why supporters punish themselves going down there. Slim chance at best of winning.

    I would love to go down there in guise of cat fan, sit in kitty ltter cheer squad. Then disrobe to reveal Dees colors with no 13 on my back and bag the sheeeit out of moggie land and give them the Best Picket Fence SLEDGEFEST EVER!!!!!🤩

    when this comes up it always reminds me of my dads mate at work at Aer Lingus. 

    One time he said - “sure it’s as certain as death in Texas”

    needless to say he never lived that one down 😂

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
