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…

    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

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
