Cats......Talk about a flag hangover.

Love it.

Don’t we need lots of in-depth analysis of where they are going wrong ?

 

plus video of Scott’s facial gymnastics from during the games

He’s always good value

    1 week is a gift for that bump...

    elected to run past the ball, bump his opponent then collected him in the head. Wouldn't have been an issue if he bodylined the ball and collected him whilst contesting the ball.

    The Collingwood ruck crisis is real IMO. With Cameron, Cox and Begg all out for multiple weeks, it's all very well to talk about using Frampton, McStay or Johnson, but that just hurts them in other areas, especially back using Frampton with Howe already out.

    So what happened to the 'upgrade' of penalties in week 1 to Pickett and McAdam for 'potential to cause damage'.

    Logue and Acres got one week with no 'upgrade'.

    Its one thing for the AFL to 'take a stand' on a principle ala Pickett and McAdam but then to drop it a few weeks later is farcical!  More importantly it sends completely the wrong message to players.

    It's almost like if you get through the first few weeks of the season without any big indiscretions, the new agenda eases up and you can get away with more. It's silly.

    Anyone else think it odd that Dangerfield claims their problem is confidence?  cats-have-hunger-but-lack-confidence-says-dangerfield  Lack of confidence after a couple of losses that followed 16 straight wins and a premiership.  Doesn't wash for me!! 

    More likely this - from Cameron about start of preseason again “...skin folds were over 120. All you think about is beer fumes and just food, that many Maccas burgers and hash browns, egg and bacons,” Cameron said on the Tommy Talks podcast...I still haven’t looked the dietitian in the eye.”  kane-cornes-says-geelong-cats-are-satisfied-premiership-hangover-jeremy-cameron-preseason-comments 

    Self satisfied with their flag and that they proved the point 'dad's army wasn't past it.  That cliff is one year late but it has arrived!!

    Heard some of it on Garry and Tim this morning and yes it was a little strange. The bellies are full after going all in and reaching the summit, not a terrible thing and most club's supporters would take it but that would be the most likely explanation.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
