We are now very much on top. The wet ground and the poor excuse for an AFL standard oval kept Geeling in it.

Stop the 3-4 small in close handballs.

We don't crumb packs well at all. Bruhn, Close and Miers are a cut above our crumbing players.

Salem, Hibberd, Grundy, Smith and Rivers playing well.

Please stop kicking it straight to Stewart and Guthrie. 

Agree, we are well on top - just need to show it on the scoreboard. Can we swing Petty forward. Either way, subbing out a tall for Spargo should help.

Good/decent: Hunter, Smith, Salem, Grundy, Rivers and Viney. 

Bad: Brayshaw, Tracc, Max, the umpiring and whoever is playing on Rowan!

 

I reckon we've smashed them pretty much all game. Keep this up and I've no doubt we'll win.

We will win this. Smith BOG

Ummm, it was disappointing....

And Salem cops $3k for tackling a bloke and winding him

We improved that quarter and upped the pressure. I expect us to step up a bit more this next quarter. 

We will have to if we are to overcome the rubbish umpire's decisions.

This quarter is ours.

 

 

More concerned with their non decisions 

 

Geelong is playing from behind, and using the soft or close to the line scragging. Why doesn't the one who wants and get to the ball first, get an advantage anymore? Becoming more of a defenders game, if the umps don't pay those in the backs, push and shove 5 meters away from ball when in a stoppage, and holding.

C'mon Tracc, run over them.

    My pregame post said tight to half time ..... and then away we go

    I'm sticking with that prediction

    I tipped us by 20. If we come out composed and continue to lock that ball in our 50, we win for sure.

    The bigger bench and a sub helps to make the 37 that beats the 35.

    Agree.

    Our small forwards not getting near it and entry into F50 worse than disgusting.

    Max is a fantastic captain but there have been times when he's needed to forget the umpires and man the hell up.

     

    This is one of them

    Jon Ralph said it would probably be a fine. Dunstall said Stewart looked at Jack, saw him holding his shoulder then pushed him over and said he does stupid things at times, Joey said it's what the AFL I'd trying to crack down on and Sarah Jones said it's not a good look and you wouldn't want to see it in junior football

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
