Goodwin has out coached his opponents in almost every game this year. Superior strategy, tactics and implementation. The whole kit and caboodle.

    It certainly sounded like a loud and very pro-Melbourne crowd. 

    51,795 puts it as our 5th biggest H&A crowd against them. The top 4 were all day games - I suspect we lost a few Geelong supporters to the night time slot.

    I’m calling it.

    That was pathetic from Geelong supporters last night. Only 10-15k of them turned up. Top of the table, haven’t lost a game all year, big game against a top 4 team at the home of football.

    They couldn’t be bothered to show up.

    I'm a total abstainer from the match day thread during the game and heard nothing from the clown commentators: what actually happened to Viney?

    Take a bow tmac, I had you in a retirement home and you just destroyed the "best" player in the comp. 

    He has given the finger to time and space.

    ( And his knees I suppose).

    Watch any presser , they’ve never actually been genuinely beaten ever. Absolute Tool. Hopefully we get to belt them in a final again.

    Interviewer: How's your head?

    Max: Pretty good

    Interviewer: What did the doctor say?

    Max: he come onto the ground and asked me who we played last week - I said I have no idea

    Doctor: Either have I . . . you're right to play on.

    Goody was asked about this in his presser and said that Jack sometimes gets a stinger in his shoulder area but that it comes good after a minute of pain.

    Looking forward to @WheeloRatings’s stats update but some I’ve noticed:

    1. We had 7 of the top 9 pressure act players, with Clarry leading the way. 

    2. It’s either an ongoing tactic or injuries but we’re resting our mids in-game a lot more this year. Gawn 83% TOG, Trac 79%, Oliver and Viney 77%. All feel lower to me compared to previous years. 

    3. Doesn’t matter how quiet you keep Trac, he makes things happen - yet again, game high score involvements with 9.

    That was one of the more intense games I can remember being at for a long time. Brilliant stuff. Finals atmosphere, great match and loud crowd.

    So many things to point out but most exciting for me was Clarry seemingly back and running the game out. Not at his best but so important. We can win the flag if he stays injury free from here.

    Was worth paying $13.50 for mid strength beer lol.

    Tom Stewart had little impact - did Turner play a defensive role on him? Tom Stewart having a mediocre game is a coaching triumph in itself.

    Mids were beaten?

    We won CPs by 3 and clearances by 1. Their major ball winners were half backs (Holmes and Z Guthrie).

    Our mids were quiet for the first half.CP 2 disposals.Clarry Blanketed and Gawn holding his own.Viney went ok. Kozzy ineffective.

    May,Lever,McVee really stood up and saved mistakes made across half forward.

    That tap that resulted in Fritta's magic tricks was awesome. He ran all day and still had the wherewithal to intercept that pass. It won't go down as a traditional stat but it definitely a game saving effort.

    Probably went unnoticed by a few too a 1% turned to gold.

    He's had a few games back after an LTI.

    Take what you said and reverse it.

    Sure, there was context for sure. But numbers are numbers. 
     

    For the record, I haven’t personally called Petty out this year. I get why some would though. I just don’t find any value in people who make points in hindsight.

    Not quite. Gawn referenced the on ground testing they do and that’s what cleared him. 

    Max probably should take those jokes out of repertoire though.

    I'd say Clarry had an iffy first half with some poor disposal at times.

    But his second half was excellent.

    His final quarter was Clarry at his best. Pure and Simple. A match winning quarter.

    Tmac matched arguably the games best player Cameron all night  . Yes Cameron missed 2 uncharacteristically late…

    Wellsy by that stage of the match there was a little man inside JC’s head his mind was elsewhere.

    By a combined total of bugger all.  What part of the word contender don't you understand?

    It's very simple really, if you can't win in September you are not a contender 🤷🏻‍♂️. My personal opinion.

    It aint called Sleepy Hollow for nothing, most of they're kitty litter supporters only live a stones throw from the ground, just too lazy to come down to the big smoke, preffering Tax payer park as their El Dorado! SHAME ON THEM!

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
