Cats tiring hopefully 

Looked like it.

 

 

I would take winning this quarter on the scoreboard.

It has a horrible feel about it.

Hunter’s over the head no look handball to Brayshaw towards the end of that quarter was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

Hunters been good again tonight and surprisingly hard at it for a winger.

Geelong flogging us in the tackle count.. most of their tackles don’t count however as they are off the ball.

And then Brayshaw does [censored] all with that ball 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Time for Sargo to prove he deserves a game next week. 

 

It is so hard to believe, but each week the quality of umpiring just gets worse.  I can barely watch games involving my team; there’s no chance I’m going to watch much games as a neutral.  It’s quite depressing.

not great skills, poor max is having a shocker. We need to bring it home now, we have been playing poorly at times if we can just lift in this last quarter we should win it. I bit disappointed with some of the holding the ball decisions that have gone against us, and those that have not gone against geelong when they had time to dispose of it.  Holding the ball is such a raffle a couple of geelong players when they get tackled just hug the ball no attempt to get rid of it, but its still a ball up. i thought you have to at least pretend to try to get rid of it,  but that football. strange viney got pinged for throwing the ball in that quarter the commentators said they thought he handballed it but the umpire was on his blind side probably did not see it. so are we paying frees for things we dont see?

 


I don't hate many people. I bet he's a lovely person in real life but I hate the way Tom Hawkins acts on the football field.

We either run away with this or Scott pulls something out of his [censored] and we lose.

I reckon the umps will do that for him as a sits back and does the old smiling clown face at the odd ones they dont call in the Cat's favour.

We seem to have worked out what we need to do, kick to contest and pounce on the ground ball before they do.

LOL best typo i have read for years

We should run them off their feet now. We are coming off a 10 day “bye” and them off a 6 day break from Adelaide. 

We can run them off their feet all we want but if we keep turning the ball over under zero pressure, it ain't gonna mean a thing. 

That's us in a nutshell tonight and always when we're at our offensive worst. 

Edited by JimmyGadson

We've got this. Geelong are reactive but hanging in there. So long as they don't get a run of shocking frees, we should hold out. Scoring would be helpful though.


Here they come on the back of the umpires you just watch

 

Why the duck was that a free against Fritters? Cheating dogs.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
