A player doesn't get a pass for playing poorly because they've just had a child, that's ridiculous.

LOL if this actually was an accepted excuse. Unless of course Geelong players are the human equivalent of seahorses. Short of that, the dog ate my homework would be a better excuse.

    Well… maybe if they are an AFLW player we could give them a pass

    What's the bet they use that grant to build an oddly shaped internet?

    Once again, you’re missing the set up of they would need internet to be on a footy forum…

    This is a welcome variation to your posting style, RPFC. Talking to/quoting yourself..
     

    I’m finding it genuinely funny. 

    But you should seek help.

    They were very slow putting up their 'Preview' thread - only went up Monday morning but they played the previous Thursday...

    ...so maybe you are right about the lack of internet down there.🤨

     

    As an aside I laughed and laughed re the comment that the noise, post goals interupts their reading/knitting time!!

    They do appear to have more female supporters than most other clubs.

    No doubt but knowing them they will probably draft some 195cm guy from Otway who will kick 40 next year. 

    They must be hiding him on a farm just like Wet Toast and Adelaide have done before. The cows will miss him.

    I think it says more about the young guns who are/can be very inconsistent (see Curnow and McKay, even the King brothers).

    Surely Hawkins is also close to retirement. Once you remove that second threat forward, it becomes easier to defend against Cameron.

    I keep waiting for Hawkins to drop off and leave a huge hole in their side, but he seems almost phyically immortal at this point.  Surely there's a big hamstring tear and or a bunch of soft tissue injuries sometime in the next couple of years that at his age his recovery will be slow and impactful on his performance?

    I don't think I wish ill on the guy personally, as I actually admire how well he's been able to play for so long, but in the interests of fairness to the competition with respect to him propping up Geelong's performance and keeping them compeditive, I do hope the end on his career is near.  Boomer Harvey was similar.   Maybe the AFL should bring in a mandatory retirement age.

    And you can add that Geelong have done exceptionally well out of the father-son talent pool, too. Not just Hawkins, but also Ablett (x2) and Scarlett. And they've had others, too, who were not quite in the same stratospheric league, but nevertheless quite handy, such as Mark Blake. In terms of real success we've had Viney (and arguably Barassi), and that's it.

    I'm hoping this generation of players will provide a few decent father sons in the years to come.

    He's done very well playing T this level and at his age.

    I'm still gobsmacked by Fletcher s effort. I remember doing a fun run at 40 and wondering how in the world this bloke played afl at close to that.

    You do have to admire players who continue to add to there game even as they get older.

    Playing Afl at 40 is just Herculean.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
