How nice to be sitting out in the sunshine at the footy. 

As opposed to the freezing night last night 

It wasn’t actually cold at all

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,349]

Weid with 2 goals.

I get that Essendon’s defence is EDFL division 3 standard this afternoon but Geelong’s potency will be a concern at the business end of the year. 64 points half way through the second quarter.

Holmes runs into the protected zone pointing at a player behind the kicker 7m away… nufin.

Live ladder;

Essendon now out of the 8.

Good times.

They're already organising a 10 year reunion for the guys that played in their first six games. 

[Gawndy the Great 7,645]

I may be the odd one out but I’d rather Geelong fall of the face of the earth… as opposed to the Bombers.

Terrible from the bombers. Cats doing as they please.

[dees189227 10,910]

Wonder if the bummers fans will just stay at the bar after half time. 

Stringer is actually playing pretty well

Will be interesting to watch Collingwood and see if it’s a reflection on the short turn around.

[BDA 20,421]

The Weid really needed to kick that one.

[radar 1,858]

I reckon Weid looks better on the Wing  at Essendon. 
Didn’t mind him there with us. Less pressure/contest. 

[Little Goffy 12,727]

For all the Cameron hype, it is starting to look like Tom Hawkins really is Geelong's beating heart.

[fr_ap 2,148]

We talk about us needing to capitalise on our list and win multiple flags while we can.... This should be said about Geelong far more than us. There probably hasn't been a better key forward pairing than Hawkins & Cameron in the last 200 years. Throw in all time great/club legends Dangerfield, Stewart, Duncan and a team full of fantastic role players with the best home ground advantage in the league - if they don't win at least 2 before Hawk retires it's a huge failure. 

Curnow and McKay can be this good too, but they're early-mid 20s and need to prove themselves over the long haul, which both Hawkins and Cameron have already done. 

As close to a cheat code as you'll ever see at the professional level

I agree - that combo is quite lethal if age wasn’t a factor  would you prefer a Hawk/ Cameron duo over  centreline?

How do the Geelong forwards constantly get away with clear and blatant pushing in the back?

The answer should be obvious really. #integrity 

[DubDee 21,066]

Zerk is giving away at least 15kg to Hawk

not even a contest

[DubDee 21,066]

this is hilarious. Geelong up by 40 in the first Q can’t put away the bombers off a 5 day break

[DubDee 21,066]

Gold Coast are on

Tigers look horrible 

early days but still

[spirit of norm smith 13,204]

Cats definitely going to be very hard to beat.  Scoring power and plenty of options.  Hawkins and Cameron are immense.  
 

Bombers effective with skills through the inside through the corridor.  Cats defence is elite and (alert to Goody), if you go wide and restrict options, they can shut you down.  Dees skills and one grab footy will be tested.  
 

Cats, Pies, Lions and Demons are the best 4 in my view.   

[Nascent 7,385]

Weid with 4 goals, is that his personal best?

 

Edit: make that 5

[dees189227 10,910]

Well done to weid. 5 goals.

Geelong probably should won by more but hey it's another Essendon loss.

Over to you now Adelaide.

Oh and go gold coast

Gee this Tiger Sun game is a poor standard.

Chol is a terrible player.

Dusty Martin ... 'don't argue' ... pushed an opponent in the neck. No free kick ... of course.
