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. ❤️

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
