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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
