I can’t believe I stayed up to watch it. I’m gonna give my self a ‘Caro bad call’ Tom said, loves the club, the players, the coach but just think he needs a fresh start as he has asked for the last 2 years and is expected to ask again. Just sounds like he is frustrated and just needs to find some confidence. Also every week his reported annual salary keeps getting higher. It’s 1.5-1.7 now. Soon he’ll be the highest paid player in the comp without having negotiated a new contract.

Not this [censored] again. its not even halfway through the year yet. End of the day if he wants to go, then he can take a pay cut to whatever club he wants as long as we get 2 x 1st round picks coming back the other way. If he cant, then suck it up and play out your contract. After the club stuck fat by him given what he did in 2023, this is incredibly salty. The guy who tried to get rid of him was even retired. if i take this as true (Big IF) then one can assume he is not putting in 100% (given what we saw in the offseason vs season proper). I wonder if he is being asked to do this to 'reduce' his value. Has a funky smell like Smith doing his recovery away from the Dogs and forcing a trade.

A reality check beckons next week. Like it or not , we cannot defend turnovers well and Gawks are great ball users. We need to keep the game a contested, stoppage based game otherwise we’ll get slaughtered on the outside.

Goodys on notice. But seriously Jones needs a good 10 years in the system before a senior coach role beckons.

Has Christians threatened to resign yet?

Ginby has form too. Didn’t he push Lalor during preseason? Seems he hasn’t learnt his lesson

I mentioned the same last night. I didn’t realise however that Petty was concussed as a result. I also love that finally Goody was strong in his opinion and assertive in the presser that Melk was contesting the ball. I think Ginby is the one in trouble and is likely to get 3 weeks for the concussion caused on Petty.

I have watched the incident a few times now. Not one person has mentioned that Ginbey pushes Petty into the path of McGovern and contributes to the contact. Also Riewoldta commentary wasn’t that bad, basically saying that the AFL is now punishing the outcome more than ever. If Milkshake gets a suspension I’ll be absolutely livid.

I disagree. The modern game suits him perfectly. He is ultra athletic for a tall lad. Beautiful kick and mark. He has every opportunity to become a high value player. Just needs the experience and belief. I really have high hopes for him.

And the media madness continues.

Feel for Crisp and don’t at the same time. He is going to want that moment back for the rest of his life. And it’s also official. Bailey Smith is a complete [censored] taking a dig at his old club on live TV. Say what you want about your old club behind closed doors but to air it out in the public eye just makes you look like a complete [censored] … just shows you the arrogance of Geelong.

100% he shouldn’t but you just know that he’ll get suspended.

Turner and Petty as the 1 and 2 in the forward line is my preference. Give a trial for the next month. JVR had his chance and I reckon needs to have a solid month in the 2’s. Fritta is on thin ice too. Should have had 4-5 goals tonight. Milkshake, probably gets rubbed out because it’s MFC.

If that was Ginnivam would have play on

Did someone die in the commentary box?

We have to break a hundred. Any less will be disappointing.

Well done Spargs.

Yeah what was he thinking

Suspension ? Not once uttered by the commentators

O ya Chinny boy

Can Salem lay a tackle? That was a pathetic attempt

Petty off.
