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. ❤️

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
