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

    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

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
