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.

    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: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
