Near perfect result: Geelong lose, and Port make near-zero percentage inroads on us.

    This is full-on crazy frenetic footy. 

    I think I know which passage you were referring to (around when Horne-Francis got hurt) and agreed, that was some of the most intense close-quarters footy I’ve seen this season.

    As mentioned, the idiocy of Cat’s supporters booing Ratugolea. Akin to us booing Harmes or JJ*

    I live in Geelong’s territory. They were happy to see the back of him.
     

    * happy to be corrected if it happened. I was at both games.

    My absolute pet hate is when a crowd boos a former player who was TRADED BY THE CLUB! 

    He left and was trying to go the year before as well. They tried to keep him.

    Scott’s votes will be interesting- 5 to Z Guthrie and 4 to Holmes. May squeeze a Port player or two in for the minors. Miserable bastard.

    That's a great win by Port. Cats fans have no right to complain about umpiring. You let port get out to a 49 point lead.

    Cats now dropped 2 in a row 

    Did you read Demonland last night?

    I hope the media bring up Jeremy Cameron and him not going off. This is really annoying me he got to stay out there. I know Cameron probably said he was fine but it must be protocol to be assessed

    According to Jason Horne-Francis, the team “put an emphasis on moving the ball forward”. 

    And indeed, this one of the key tenets of t he game. 

    Man, had the Cats got up, Willie Rioli would have been the first AFL player to win the inaugural BestWorst Medal.

    I thought Hayward only played one good game a month?

    3.1 already 

    Reckon he can play

    Hayward with 3 goals. Sydney covering the ground so well. They are so fit.  It super talented but just have great team discipline and athleticism

    Rioli kicked 4.3 with 7 tackles 

    one brain fade

    played an amazing game. Maybe the Cats should have put someone on him. He was unmarked so much, was crazy

    Fox Footy going nuts about it. It’ll be a big talking point.

    Oh, I was just making a general statement. 
     

    (Nah my mistake, I actually thought The 60s* was traded. My humble apologies.)

    Ha Geelong have to go to Darwin next week & play.

    Gaz is going hard on the Jeremy Cameron head knock. They're covering it big time. Gaz is saying he should have gone off & especially with all the concussion issues at the moment

    No look, he was incredible. 
     

    But between that whopper of a fade and not taking a shot, it would have been hard to come up with more significant moments when the tide turned.

    Agreed. It’s very contagious. Similar to last night how Chin, Petty even Fritta all missed easy set shots.

    Will be two months till his next, then, I guess...

    Or...

    He's saving his (prolonged) next drought till he comes to us (see relevant thread).

    Great result Geelong loose a close one and their fans have an umpiring decision to whine about

    Not only the decision to complain about, but at their home ground as well. ❤️

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.
