I was in the Geelong coterie box on Saturday afternoon and word in there was he's 50:50 at best. They will err on not playing him as he's had multiple concussions. It's probably less about Stanley and more about Geelong's smart ball use to avoid Max down the line. That will be one of the deciding factors in the game.

They weren't the ones completely responsible for turning the footy over. Even though Windsor had a couple of uncharacteristic howlers. What I was trying to get across was that our best and most senior players aren't going 100% every week, and they get excited for these big games. We have another level.

To me - result hinges on availability of Tom Stewart. If he plays they'll have a brick wall that we won't be able to penetrate. I went to Geelong-Carlton and the Cats looked great across the ground. Their biggest weakness is Stanley who was deplorable. Max should be able to own the ruck. We should have more explosiveness around stoppage, I'm feeling a big game from Clarry. The other piece that is often overlooked is that our team is very experienced now. We don't fire on all cylinders every week and you can't draw too much from that Richmond first half. My prediction if Stewart plays is flip of a coin. No Stewart and I see a Dees 3-4 goal win and a heap of expectation coming our way for the rest of the year.

Came here to write exactly that.

Will get a week for two reasons: 1) Optics 2) The new potential to cause injury clause Objectively, I wouldn't out him, but it's borderline. Some of the angles don't look good, but the force was negligible. What really hurts Kozzie was that he temporarily went to ground.

You had full panels on both fox and 7 that just can't swallow Melbourne, Leigh Montagna the only exception. Brad Johnson's ongoing saltiness about us is amusing, but it pre-dates the '21 Flag, he tipped Freo to beat us in Round 1 of that year and tipped us to miss the 8 in the same breath. We went on to win first 9 and win the flag in the most dominant way since Geelong of '07. These guys have massive blinkers on and the 'toffy' stereotype means that most of them don't want us to do well.

Yeah the Michael Christian factor is still a disgrace. How he can objectively rule on 'Pendles' last week is so ridiculous. Even Pies supporters would've expected a week.
