Round 13 (KB for us) looms as an absolute cracker jack.

Whoever comes out the other side of that will be sitting fairly pretty.

A number of matches are looking as if they'll be 8 point games.

Need to bank as many wins as poss prior to that round to keep our noses in front.

    Ethan - I just thought I would look at the last 2 minutes of AD v B on the AFL site - and I got Kellie and Derwayyyn.  

    I concluded that Derwayyyn was only the second hardest commentator to listen to.  So glad I didn't watch it all or that she hasn't done one of our games yet this season.  Totally unlistenable.

    YOU AGAIN SHOWED YOU ARE AN [censored]

    YOU WERE WRONG

    A DISGRACEFUL RANT 

     

    Scott was critical of the decision post-game, but Kane said given Clark's kick had not been to the obvious advantage of the Cats, the umpires had made the correct call in stopping play.

    "The umpire's whistle has gone at almost the same time that the player (Clark) has disposed at the ball," Kane said.

    "It's worth noting it came off the side of his boot, it was a shanked kick, and the umpire has made the decision to bring that back and give Geelong the shot on goal.

    "So we were comfortable with the way it was officiated."

    Isn’t the bigger issue here that the AFL has seen fit to actually drive to Geelong today to let him get clarification on all this. I think that is totally inappropriate- if anything he should be getting a “please explain”!!!

    Geelong have been cleared of breaching AFL medical protocols, despite the Cats revealing on Saturday that key forward Jeremy Cameron had been diagnosed with delayed concussion from a heavy head knock on Friday night.

    Cameron was allowed to play out Friday night’s clash against Port Adelaide after landing heavily during a marking contest and slamming his head into the GMHBA Stadium turf.

    But the big Cat reported concussion symptoms during tests on Saturday morning and will miss next Thursday night’s clash against Gold Coast in Darwin.

    Several commentators questioned why Cameron was not taken from the ground on Friday night after he landed on his side and banged his head on the ground in a whiplash motion at the nine-minute mark of a tense last quarter

    He lay on his back after the fall, holding his head, before clambering to his feet to take part in the next stoppage.

    Geelong medical staff spoke to Cameron on the ground, but the club said on Saturday that he had passed a head injury assessment.

    Geelong said Cameron was allowed to play out the final nine minutes of the match, in which the Cats lost by a goal, because he did not report any symptoms and had satisfied all AFL requirements.
     

     

    An AFL spokesperson said the league’s medical experts had discussed the incident with Geelong doctors on Saturday morning and were comfortable that Cameron had been managed within the league’s concussion guidelines.

    The spokesperson said medical spotters in the ARC had alerted Geelong doctors to Cameron’s fall shortly after the incident, but in the absence of “probable motor incoordination or no protective action” immediate removal of the player for a sport concussion assessment test (SCAT6) was not mandated.

    The heavy nature of Cameron’s fall on Friday night, prompted Seven commentator Brian Taylor to say during his call: “He gave his head a real good banging. I reckon the doctors will look at that.”

    Fellow commentator Matthew Richardson then added: “As soon as you stay still on the ground for a couple of seconds, that’s a trigger.”

     

    Seven boundary rider Abbey Holmes was shocked that Cameron was not taken to the boundary for tests.

    “Jeremy Cameron is staying out on the ground,” Holmes said. “It didn’t look good, did it? With his head heavily making contact with the ground.”

    Is anyone surprised here. Every week it is clearer and clearer what HQ and the commission want. This is just unbelievable.

    So Geelong let a concussed player stay on in a close game, then coach rants about umpiring and they go and visit him to see if they can do anything else for him. Imagine that was Melbourne, we’d have had the book thrown at us twice

    Finals together 3 times in 40 years

    How are they still called the big 3?

    If it’s based on attendance plus success how are the Tigers not included for example?

    Time to disband the big 3, clearly success is not a factor to be included

    i doubt it. Freo for example will make finals imo

    only 8 points between 2nd and 10th

    anything can happen

    GC and Dogs will keep asking the question 

    Cats, Bombers, Port, Giants should slip a bit but not sure how much

    Just going by history but will be fascinating to see who might slip. I reckon cats are in trouble

    The cats have an incredibly easy draw for the remaining games.  Only the blues fixture is easier.  Bombers and Port have the toughest.

    "We take the opportunity to educate our clubs and in turn be educated."

    I'm sure the AFL were well and truly educated by that whining pratt.

    I pity gold coast who are playing the cats this weekend.

    Essendon's next 3 games are winnable though against North, Richmond and GC so they could be top 2 after that!

    They could very well do a Bomber nose-dive after that but it's still a site I'd prefer not to see at the midway point.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
