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.

    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 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
