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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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

    Zerk is giving away at least 15kg to Hawk

    not even a contest

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

    Gold Coast are on

    Tigers look horrible 

    early days but still

    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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
