The cats 119 point grand final victory over Port today has relieved us of one record we never wanted to own. In 1998, the hawks beat us by 96 points so that we had the unfortunate title of the owners of biggest ever losers in a grand final.

Thanks catters. In a strange reversal of roles, the [censored] really "licked them"!!!

    It was 1988, not '98. A horrible day, as one who was there, I felt for the Port fans but was more than happy to see the record broken.

    What no-one has seemed to pick up on or discuss on either of the two sites is just how similar Geelong's style of football has been to what the Demons were playing in 2005 when we were flying and on top of the ladder. Then we showed how unable we were to be the hunted and ditched the game plan at the end of the year to copy the premiers.

    I couldn't help think today, what if? As I watched the Cats play to perfection a game plan we were using a few years ago was annoying, to say the least.

    I thought "run and carry" was a good idea...

    To state the bleedin' obvious on three counts:

    1. I was barracking like crazy for that record to go.

    2. Seeing the unbridled joy on all the Geelong faces - it just really makes it sink in how much I envy them - - I really do question whether we'll EVER do it.... We just seem as far away as we've ever been. I doubt we'll ever have the resources.

    3. Geelong may be at the start of a 3-4 year period of success that'll yield them more than they got today..

    I'm sure Geelong fans felt the same after last season and the first 5 rounds of this year.

    Let's just hope we can turn things around, doesn't have to be as quick but it has to happen.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
