Wow what a win, spoony one end heater in the middle and Gillard in the defence. Oh my Kate Hore! So well deserved. F you umpires

It’s just really sad how a game can be so influenced by a call or a non call by an umpire. 4 goals direct from a free kicks is something else. I feel for the girls!

Moby “Extreme ways” Oh baby, oh baby then it fell apart Oh baby oh baby Like it always does! 🫣

What ever the rules are around holding the ball, incorrect disposal have become a hot mess. It’s funny because what it has created is this soccer match the blues are playing. Better for no one to tackle or take possession of the ball.

I understand that Max is the man that is most wanted from the media and he himself possibly sees the benefit for a career post football, however I hope that with this clean slate comes new voices and perspectives. Max is very well versed and as people have said above a politically astute talker, but getting a little tiresome for me. I’m hopeful a new group of leaders step up and take the media load that Max has had to shoulder for the best part of 3 years.

There’s going to be a few players needing to lift next week, Bannon the most by far, but I feLt Taylah Harris isn’t quite over her rib injury(?) and it would be nice to see Gall burger take a mark or follow up after a dropped one. Id like the team to control some games with short kicks to the free player rather the long to a tall or hack kick forward as only option. Goldrick back a welcome boost. Molly O a potential fresh return too. Grace Beasley looks very strong, could be a dark horse. Maybe play Bannons position. Finally the umpiring across all games is making games really hard to watch. That incorrect disposal has been thrown out is so frustrating, and the amount of players being held before taking possession resulting in a scrum for the next minute of play til the ball gets literally thrown out is a joke. Our girls are good tacklers but never rewarded. Almost better not to tackle just corral otherwise you’re out of the play.

Even better is the race to 100 lives on for another week!

Brisbane just better at rugby than the dees, with our girls caught up tackling they had numbers on the outside once the drop or throw inevitably came out of the scrum, with the umpire just waiting for it to come out. It’s lucky they were allowed to throw forward.

Umpires decide to start blowing the whistle and all momentum shifts. Kate Hore robbed. Mavo clutch!

Wowee what a hot contested start. I wish there was a rule for incorrect disposal…….. Somewhat lucky in defence but Gillard cool and calm, hope some can rub off on Radar. Like Bannon up the ground getting involved. Lizy to clean up her kicks a little and we will get it past half way.

This is what I don’t understand. Where are the get out clauses or behaviour clauses that allows a contract to be broken. If any of us in our working life had acted like Clarry we would be out on our [censored]. It bemuses me that being a good player provides an immunity forever. People froth the grubbiest people because they are good footballers.

Something that resonated with me that was in the presser “Take what the game gives them” this to me reflects what both programs male and female have struggled with and not doing enough of. The licence to play with freedom, yes through structure. This excites me.

No Kate no Melbourne. Amazing footballer. Colvin much better after a disappointing first half . Shelley Heath a down day. Hanks good but like the team trained to be too cute. The team cannot afford Bannon going missing for weeks every year. The season is just not long enough. Offered nothing today. Unfortunately if Banno and Zanker lose confidence it’s day over for them. Maevo good and tried hard to stop some rot. This gameplan is getting found out. Looks beautiful when it’s on, but pressure the receiver and it keeps breaking down. It’s not a finals brand in my mind. Doesn’t help when the first touch form is down from key players. Too cute, too much reliance on perfection.

Every junior in a Geelong football league gets a free Cats Membership. I assume this happens across all teams but certainly inflates the numbers. I don’t think the drop off in our numbers is totally a reflection on the teams playing style. Even if you don’t believe the media, there was a barrage of negative about the club throughout last year and the off season. A top 5 player wanted to leave, another in some sort of breakdown, a board and executive in court battles or just general infighting. The list goes on. It certainly was a hard time to be a proud Demon. Follow that up with a poor win loss record, an interim leadership and what seems to be nothing implemented from a review and you get a drop off. And lastly unless you’re in the mcc or coterie who knows what’s happening around the club or where it’s going.

Billing’s may have just been forgotten from the communication graphic. It can happen sometimes 😂
