Still can’t get the luck.

Haven’t had the 2 key Defenders in the same game yet, with both missing 2 of the first 4 games.

Of course Stewart is back for Cats, who are probably at full strength at home.

Hardly at full strength

That must be a serious injury to Tanner Bruhn's finger/thumb. Surprised we haven't heard more about it.

    Charlie’s 100th game tomorrow.

    “100 Sparkling Games” is what’s on the banner alongside the graphic.

    Incidentally, for those attending the match tomorrow night, be prepared for Geelong indulging in a prematch celebration of 100 years of Ford sponsorship. There’ll be an 8-car motorcade slowly circling the boundary conveying past-players, among other vomitrocious happenings. Might be a good time to duck out to the bar or the loo.

    We’ve been warned to not get in the way of their celebrations, like that ground isn’t already hostile enough. I thought I couldn’t possibly hate going there any more than I already did, but here we are.

    Also, the Casey match is the curtain-raiser, so if you can get there early please do. ❤️💙

    Memo to Coach Goodwin

    Open up the forward line, allow space for players to move…

    Laurie must be wondering what he has to do to get a game but Henderson and Sharp walk into the team and aren't playing very well

    Kidnap half the team

    Geelong should spend more time lobbying the federal government to make energy (domestic gas reservation ) cheaper and value add iron ore plus subsidies so we Can Make Cars Great Again . I want an electric tickfordly tweaked Ute and wagon please

    I have “in Spargod we trust’” as an Apple Watch face

    Big ups to spargiepants

    As I said nearly full strength. Only Kolodjashnij is missing as a regular 23 player. Stewart and Neale both playing. Guthrie is no certainty anymore and Bruhn is no certainty. So missing 1-2 certain 23 players.

    We are missing Lever, Kolt, McVee, McAdam, AMW, Jeffo. All but Jeffo would expect to be in our 23 regularly.

    Pretty hard to circle the boundary down there. It's more like a drag race with two straights either side of the "oval" where the wings should be.

    I can't get around the Spargo selection, but well done to him on 100 games.

    The other changes make us better. Not "we're going to beat Geelong" better, but better.

    I get that people want to see big names get dropped. They've been put on notice by Goodwin, so if the same players are listless (I'm looking at you, Salem, Fritsch and Viney), and if we get pumped again, the public notice to me signals they're on their last chances.

    cmon mate. they have. similar injury list to us

    Jed Bews after 179 games might be considered a regular? Guthrie, new recruit Martin, Bruhn certainly best 22 etc

    Not that it really matters, it’s all about intent and tactics tomorrow

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
