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 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
