Now I'm more worried about Max's calf. On one hand I didn't want him to miss today,  but gee if he does anymore damage to it it could be costly 

his calf is fine....

    This is the problem with having no real options beyond him. 
    He never should have travelled to Perth last week and these are the games where if we had a decent backup he could sit out to avoid doing any serious damage. 
    Calves can be problematic, especially at his age. If he does more damage to it today and has to miss a chunk of games, you could probably kiss our season goodbye.

    Maybe in horse racing with multiple starters but there’s no way this is a correct stat for head-to-head competitions.

    Anyway, I'm out before the inevitable gameday thread wrist-slashing and self-flaggelation begins ...

    Real disappointed for Taj who has shown plenty and still is not getting a full game, while Hunter has had a less than great pre season and season thus far, and is straight in off very limited good form.

    Goodwin will Goodwin, baffling stuff really. What's worse is that if anything at least Taj plays with effort, pride and love for the club. His second efforts are second to none.

    Taj is sub again. Just like Bedford and Jordon.  Goodwin is so boring!!! Taj played well v blues and v eagles.  
     

    Freo might just give him a call and offer him a deal with a starting position.

    Love child syndrome, that's the only explanation.

    Pro tip: Don't read the news. Saved myself some cardiac issues this morning

    This is what happens when we don't have any real 2nd ruck on our list, or at least we don't use them.

    Absolutely baffles me it really does.

    Hey who was the guy wearing number 23 who ran on with the boys? Didnt look like an AFL footballer and sure enough a kick for goal and then off.

    I just rewound to check the person and that's defs McAdam.  See what Earl Hood is saying though, his look always reminds me of a grunge rocker haha

    Yeah maybe it was. I need to go to spec savers 😜! 

    Tough group today. Anyway, *insert token staying away from wrist slashers on gameday thread comment* 

    We definitely need an emphatic win today.

    Come out breathing fire and fury.


     

    Great example of Petty burning our chance to score on turnover

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
