Bombers getting pantsed. What a shame. 

Yep. Had a conversation during the week with some Essendon supporting relatives. They were bemoaning the AFL not switching the game to the G. I pointed out the fact that they had only been to Geelong 5 times in the past 33 years as opposed to our 25 visits. Their response was that there was a reason why them Pies and Carlton did not play there, inferring the “big” club mentality. They are arrogant entitled supporters who think they are bigger than the game. GAGF.

    Maybe they didn't remember how to find the ground?  Probably haven't been there since the building of the Werribee bypass.

    I hate seeing Geelong in 5th place. 

    And hate admitting that Tom Hawkins is a great KPF

    Curious, why do you say that? From my perspective, those 7 players all get a week to rest, recuperate, and get some time off, to avoid knocks (and then ON) in to the legs... They had to fit it in somewhere once Top 2 was 'sewn' up, at least hopefully from their perspective.

    Another 5-7 will come back (and out) this week and freshen up some others without losing continuity.

    We'll still beat them though :)

    Because they are not a side that has performed well in finals in the last decade. They had a terrible season last year and they seem to have found their mojo again.


    While they think they have top 2 in the bag, and they need a home final or they’ll fail again, the reality is that they don’t. They have some very tough games still to come, and flirting with form and getting absolutely smashed by a middle of the road side in the process, is not ideal preparation for finals. 
    There’s a reason very few teams do that. Rest and manage 1 or 2 players, for sure, but the impact of changing a third of your side twice in two weeks is a big one. 
    Now seems to be the time when the real contenders ramp things up. Port seems to be doing the opposite. 
    If it works and they go on to win the flag, all power to them. But history suggests this doesn’t end well.

    The ladder looks about right to me. Geelong look to be a class above sides like the Dogs, Bombers and Saints, but haven't had been as consistent as the sides above - and are only 5th because they have the most difficult ground in the competition.

    Not watching (or listening) for that sole reason. Are they talking about one of the player’s relatives that runs the local fish and chip shop or making references to where a player went to school and how they are related to a sister’s, cousin’s,best friend’s boy friend who saw Ferris pass out at 21 flavours last night 🙄😜

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
