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: 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.
