Nice tackle Melksham

What a ripping finish.

Ah so the Dogs have Bruce as an in after some VFL following last year's ACL. A warm up before his obligatory bag against us next week?

Oh FFS, a bye! A few of our Casey players must be thrilled (not) to sit out a weekend rather than push their cases for selection. JVR, Laurie, Chandler, etc. Hopeless fixturing.

You're killing me MFC just announce it already!!!

Interesting ppl reading this as a "2 year extension" signal. What if he's giving the "f@$# you" version of the 2 finger salute?

We will win every game from here on. Can't see Port or Dogs putting a win together against us. Freo will be the biggest test, but it'll be on our turf and beyond any loading phases if last year is any guide. We'll get a long overdue win against the Pies. Lions will [censored] the bed in the last round as our fitness and pressure gears up to September levels.

Wouldn't mind seeing the suns make the 8. Mainly because it'd likely be at the expense of a Tigers or Dogs or similar

What a finish Noah Anderson!

There were several instances where JVR did clever little "football-smarts" things that I really liked the look of. Things that reflect a genuine competitive instinct. E.g. leading for a mark near the boundary around 50, being closely followed by a defender, he jumped into the air to secure a chest mark rather than attempt a spoilable arms-out mark with the wet ball. He certainly doesn't look skinny or under-developed physically - I'd love to see him get a gig in the ones. If he fills that TMac-esque re up fwd it could go a long way towards fixing our woes in that dept.

Seeing a lot more from JVR than either MBrown or Weid. He just has a presence about him. Get him into the seniors!

Christ I've spent the day grumpily doomscrolling through the Luke Jackson thread and now this to top it off. Ugh. Hoping he doesn't miss, though 1 week not end of the world. There are bigger games than Port next week in the run home.

It was round 19 last year when we lost to the Dogs, before going on our premiership-winning streak.

Good riddance.

Ludicrous comment.

Bear in mind this is approximately the time last year where we had a flat couple of weeks (vs Hawks and the loss to the dogs) that is widely reputed to have been due to our training loads. The flatness we are showing here is almost certainly for the same reasons.

Umpires need a crowd baying for blood to pay a HTB apparently.

Quintessential harmes

Surely dangerfield is due for a calf or hammy to roll up the back of his leg?

Wow Gary Rowan does something before 3qtr time... ...oh yeah, this isn't a final.

Christ that Geelong kick after the downfield went about 5 metres

Great play dees and love seeing Trac nail a goal on the run from 50.

Blast this narrow ground

God I hope we shut their nuffy crowd up. Hate that parochial mob.

That is fantastic, I hadn't noticed that before! Also Langdon's glee is absolutely priceless.
