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. 

    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.)

    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. ❤️

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
