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?

Bizarre scoreline in the west.

...and getting bizarrer.

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. 
 

 

Did the Cats have any injured players? after the very early sub they were desperate to keep everyone on

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. 

It’s a bad look.

Oh, I was just making a general statement. 
 

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

*Radical Era
 

 

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.

I agree with your general statement though.


Freo are winning almost all stats. but have kicked 2.13

unbelivable!

couple that with ridiculous kicking from the Swans

Don’t think i’ve ever seen such a discrepancy

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
