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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
