Sharing only because I'm struggling with that being reality.

Now 2.13.25 to 11.2.68

I guess when we complain about our kicking for goal we need to think of Fred, at home

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

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 

The SEN commentators mention at some stage that he didn't look right .... Scott of course will say he didn't see the incident.  

Please explain, Geelong.

Please GC$ knock them off up in Darwin.

    Only a small snippet of Scott’s presser on channel 7. . No mention of Port at all (did acknowledge Horne Francis).

    In other words, another true to form press conference.  I love watching sore losers.

    Laura should be on the phone asking questions Monday morning.  

    Jezza could also have delayed concussion.  

    Anyway I enjoy the double header because the first game starts at 7:10. See we can start earlier Friday night

    Just a thought:

     If - and I am certainly not expecting it, let alone wishing it - we don't get to the pointiest end of 2024, I'd look forward to how the AFL spins an all-Sydney GF!

    What an absolute sooker of a person and no respect for opponents.  Hope it bites him in the bum.

    GO GC$ next week.

    Sydney are so impressive offensively and defensively and are clearly the number 1 seed at the moment.

    However, Sydney are disgraceful in grand finals under Longmire. Why would this year be any different?

    And what did Jordon get up to over summer? Has become an accomplished player.

  • Quote

    Longmire, whose Swans are now 8-1 and a game clear atop the ladder, was mindful of the Dockers' challenges on Friday and passed on his club's deepest condolences to McCarthy's family, friends, and Fremantle. 

    The coach was proud of his team's professional performance on the road, with midfield recruit James Jordon celebrated for his run-with role on damaging Freo half-back Jordan Clark.    

    "He's been terrific since he's come to the footy club. He can do a number of different roles and he's got a great temperament," Longmire said of the former Demon.

    As some of us on here felt he was with us.

    i still believe if he knew Gus would retire he would have stayed:

    He left for better opportunities and has got them with the current best team in the AFL.

    We have a hole after Clarry, Tracc, JV and Sparrow.

    I see Chris went on a rant about that advantage rule that didn't get paid. That is not why you lost

    He’s such a sore loser. They were 8 goals down because they couldn’t keep up with the speed of Ports mids in the first half. That’s not the umpires fault, or the AFL’s. I honestly doubt any team could have. Port were on.

    Sometimes you get outplayed. Just call it what it is and move on.

    He’s a petulant child.

    Might need more funding down at kitty litter park.

    Maybe they'll find themselves in Darwin  next week

    Too right Dee Viney. I do know that Gary Rohan has taken upon himself to lobby for more physiotherapists.

    Here’s a pic of Chris Scott after the loss. 
     

    He is another reason to hate Geelong. His arrogance is disturbing. 

    Nothing to do with one decision.  Cats got good cream from the umps especially in the 2nd half.

    I suspect we're witnessing in slow motion the demise of the cats vaunted midfield.  Selwood gone danger at 34 and soft tissues cam Guthrie etc.

    Hawkins finishing up.  

    Scott will struggle with this I suspect

    Wow. What an extraordinarily misleading headline. It was (only) 3 minutes and he was essentially defending them. But it got me to click.

    You win fox footy. 👏🏾

    I don't like him, but on this I agree with him. Essentially, the fault is not the umpires, it's the rules. They need to be much simpler and clearer. But the AFL keeps fiddling with them, with knee-jerk reactions which are often completely stupid. And the AFL being the AFL, they never ever admit that they have got it wrong. Simplest case: nominating a ruckman, to avoid two ruckmen up. But there are many. Holding the ball needs a complete revamp and simplification.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
