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: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
