For those following the Dermie "cats wasted their chances" halftime narrative, he's chosen to stick with that in the postgame too. Absolutely no idea.

I don't mind his special comments when he's live but tonight he was way off with his comments.

Dermie is the worst. How is he still in a paying gig?

Great performance by the coaches.  They went to school on Geelong and found a way to restrict their ball movement.

Absolutely agree. Not enough credit to Goody & co for that win. Although Geelong got heaps of flow on play through half back and wing, most of it hit our stone wall and rebounded back out. The use of Langdon & Windsor out wide made Geelong spread uncomfortably in defending, along with our repeated 15-20 metre kicks. Great method and coaching.

I think they subbed Laurie in too late, but apart from that, all good.

Brererton is a plonker.

I didn't see it did he seriously say "the Cats kicked themselves out of it"? He is absolutely delusional, the fact Melbourne is a great, consistent side has shattered his reality and he is scrambling to grab onto something to help make it make sense.

Did the cats tag the wrong player?

I'm at my cricket awards dinner and don't have time to post anything much.

Except I'm pleased, very pleased.

T Mac showing a lot of us what a professional he is. A very good footballer.

I thought for his role he was best on for us.

Apologies to Max.

It’s what he was saying at halftime. Almost all credit going one way. Turned him off after the game. His plastic mug annoys me.

Great call.

I have heard 3 media people call Scott the best tactician in the game this week.

And many people, including some dees fans, think goody wouldnt know a tactical innovation if it knocked on his door and introduced itself.

And what is even more surreal tonight wont change those people's mind.

Strange looking game structurally.

May kicked the ball like the real Steve May for the first time in 3 years.

Petty with a proper chf game, he can absolutely do it.

Great games out of Langdon and Windsor 

Plenty to like and a proper tough win 

[Juicebox 629]

Simon Goodwin best on ground. He absolutely smashed Chris Scott. 
 

We clearly did our homework and put together an appropriate plan of attack. Tight game, but start to finish it was on our terms. 

[P-man 13,366]

Surely May and Lever are entering the AA discussion. Pity they don’t select two headed monsters or they’d be a shoe in.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,772]

Bowser back to play the Blues. Good times. 

[DEE fence 5,045]

Can everyone who poured merde on Petty's attitude harden up and say sorry?

Brilliant game plan, we played two styles well done coach, supercoach didn't have a response.

Bar Billings, everyone contributed.

Clarry finding the ball was ace, his disposal can improve, but looking so much better.

Geelong played well, didn't hand it to us, we earn't that.

Gawn is 🐐, this is the season if we salute he will rank with the immortals of Ruck. He is already in the conversation.

DeeFENCE, we just saw the comps best. Kept Cats to under 10 goals.

Tmac-ultimate team player, defensive master-class, like he was playing Nick Riewoldt as a 20y.o.

Our run was ace. We are fit, makes the danger of short breaks obvious. Can't fault anyone's heart.

Even Dermie is giving us credit.

5 players with 10 odd games each, our club is in great shape.

Much more to come.

To be fair, he did say the most deserving ream won, but if Geelong kicked straight etc.

I was despondent at 3 qtr time. Thought we’d blown it through bad kicking.

but up stepped Maxy with the captains goal to inspire us. What a leader.

he’s playing as well as ever. AA selection number 7 looking a cert.

And was being held/scragged at every ruck and marking contest. And copped a knee to the head. Never mind, he just shrugs it off and keeps going, if he's not the best ruck of all time he goes very bloody close. Only Dean Cox, Simon Madden and Big Jimmy are on his level in my time watching I reckon.

He is such a [censored]. He said that if Geelong kick straight they would have won. WTF.

Well dermis considering we had more scoring shots if we kicked straighter we would have WON BY MORE U MORON. 

My god I am dumber for listening to him. Unbelievable.

Windsors highlights of this game prove he is worthy of 7’s MVP and TV. If he doesn’t get rising star someone must be kicking 10 tomorrow. 
Caleb is a jet and has the ability to be a serious long term player with many an all Australian jacket collected along the way. Love what he is doing now but can’t wait to see what he brings in the future

Has a bit of mongrel too, doesn't take a backwards step or mind giving some lip back to the opposition.

I died 12 times during this game. The real winner is my heart for holding up. 

I shed a tear at the end of the game.

We threw absolutely everything at the cats.

That will give the boys so much belief. So proud of the team.

Geelong are playing such great footy. We worked them out and just chased them down.

I thought the Robbie Flower comparisons were premature but Caleb Windsor is just something else.

Fritta must be close to goal of the year if you put some context around where the game was at. There'll be other trick shots from the boundary, but with the game in the balance, what a goal.

Bring on the blues, I don't think they're as good as the cats.

A mate, a big dees fan, watched the game at home just texted me and said good thing I watched live because derm would have broken my brain if I had watch it on the box.

They kicked themselves our of the game? 

We were 12 points up on xscore at half time. 

And I suspect halfway through the third the xscore would have been minimum plus 25 with Windsor's miss, kozzies miss and nibblas shocker.

Those 3 goals get kicked 80% of the time minimum (which is how they arrive at xscore).

Thank God we won that game because WE would have been rightly bemoaning gifting them the game.

We dominated the first half of the third and should have got out to a match winning lead.

Geelong will be on the Karma bus traveling down to Sleepy Hollow Rab. Chris Scott is the coach captain. Should be a barrel of 😆 laughs.
