    Blockbuster of TV tonight. Switch the phone off and get the popcorn ready.  

    Absolutely.

    Hard Quiz followed by Charlie Pickering's The Weekly.

    Not to mention SBS/ABC News and the wonderful Sarah on 7.30.

    Top viewing night.!

    To be fair it was 36 degrees. 

    Word is the government will be giving the Cats a multimillion dollar grant to install temporary portable fans into each seat next year with a further billion dollars to be spent on permanent AC units in each seat before the decade is out. 

    Geelong was comfortable yesterday. Overcast.  I was down for the day.

    I'm not sure what you were expecting with respect to the crowd. We don't get capacity crowds at the MCG when we play Fremantle, either. (And a lot of taxpayer dollars have helped the MCG over the years.)

    Given the single team town and state of the art stadium 62% full is pathetic.

    You're joking right? Good teams don't get smashed like they did against an undermanned Giants side. Happy for you to bookmark this, but the Pies won't finish in the top 8. Last night was all about Port and nothing about Collingwood.

    Ports scoreboard effort after 1/4 time was an absolute outlier. Stewards enquiry if they were a racehorse.

    Fishy big time.

    So the jury is in on this boondoggle. 

    Watching the news last night I noted many empty seats. Were the fans out the back buying overpriced food and drinks.?

    No. They just didn't turn up. 25,300 for a so called 40K seating stadium.

    Disgraceful  and I repeat my view it's just too expensive for ordinary geelong folk.

    Great fun for the elites though.

    Evens out with their Perth commentary crew which is excruciatingly parochial towards their home town teams

    Don't knock Kayo.

    Thursday nights now with Hamish makes Ch 7 unwatchable.  There's only so many times you can use the word 'unbelievable' in a broadcast.  Someone get Hamish a thesaurus please.

    Big call and can’t really argue as he is super skilled and has the flag. Jeff Farmer in conversation though.

    Absolutely the wizard and Aaron Dave were excellent. Kozzie is on another plane.

    I wracked my memories of the 70's and 80's.

    Some good ones like Ricky Jackson came to mind. But none really came to mind.

    The bar kozzie set in the 2021 prelim is our gold standard. Plus his chase down first quarter of flag gf was priceless.

    Agreed, I'd keep Kozz and re-assess at the end of 2026 unless Jacko came back in the deal

    I agree with G Lyon. Kozzie stays . Traded under no circumstances. 

    He's the best small forward I've seen in a dees jumper(across 60 years)

    No action taken against Filth coach.

    Another example of justice having been served?

    As we watch the Pies fail to contend we'll also see mcrae revert to type. The smart a---e comment to young Toby was contemptible.  We'll done to Kingsley for the response. Short and to the point.

    You’re absolutely right. Clayton now plays for Geelong, they nailed it!

    And those of us who said Geelong and Clayton + management were driving the trade but it would never happen as Lamb, Richo, Green and Goody all put it to bed immediately, how wrong we were!

    It’s going to be hell to see him in the hoops this year but at least we have that new very similar looking number 13 who had 3 goals and 28 disposals and looks alright! 🙄🙄🙄

    Brilliant read DeeJ.

    Thanks

    So much better. At least Gaz is a clear talker & doesn't yell. 

    N another note I've given up on classified. Refuse to watch with McClure as host & won't watch the other one Tuesday night with McGuire, morris & hird. Although I see Rory Sloane is on there to. 

    Sloane and hird were very substandard media performers. Wont last. And Eddie hogs the mike. 

    Past its use by date years ago and ch9 have to pretend they give a rats a out afl

    He's not welcome in my book.

    He seemed to have checked out too early on the field before leaving.

    Not very classy.

    If he wants to change clubs again, surely you would be skeptical of recruiting him.

    I feel your pain.

    His performance and effort in 2022 finals was pathetic and unprofessional. 

    I don't care what he does.

    If Billing’s can get someone to sort his kicking he has as much improvement to give  as anyone on the list. 


    Johnson is undersized but has heart.

    Lindsay cameo on boundary all class. 

    Langford will make progress this year.

    Turner is going to be a handful with Fritta, Van Rooyen and Kossie firing.

    Lot to like, few negatives but I’m staying positive.

     

    Bailey will fire when he starts improving goal conversion. Until then He's just a target at the moment. Absolutely unreliable and kills opportunities.

    Will be fun to check how this goes during the year. It’s based on what’s on the ‘net. It seems to have thrown up some strange positions  

    Predicted 2025 AFL Ladder

    1. Brisbane Lions - Strong squad, expected to be a top contender.
    2. Western Bulldogs - Talented list, pushing for the premiership.
    3. Sydney Swans - Young talent stepping up, finals certainty.
    4. Port Adelaide Power - Strong midfield, likely top-four finish.
    5. GWS Giants - Competitive squad, consistent finals team.
    6. Fremantle Dockers - On the rise with a solid young core.
    7. Carlton Blues - Talented but inconsistent, should make finals.
    8. Geelong Cats - Aging but still dangerous in September.

    Just missing finals:

    1. St Kilda Saints - Strong squad but may fall short.
    2. Gold Coast Suns - Improving but not quite top-eight ready.
    3. Essendon Bombers - Mid-table, still developing.
    4. Collingwood Magpies - Slight decline after recent success.

    Lower teams:

    1. Melbourne Demons - Struggling with consistency.
    2. Adelaide Crows - Rebuilding, not finals-ready.
    3. North Melbourne Kangaroos - Young squad, still developing.
    4. Richmond Tigers - Significant drop-off from previous years.
    5. Hawthorn Hawks - Rebuilding phase continues.
    6. West Coast Eagles - Expected to finish last, still struggling.

    Straight out wrong by Ai. It has only 1 change to the final 8 from last year for a start.

    Laughable process but will get the clicks . Like me foolishly

    For once Tom Morris is correct. Paul Hallam founded the agency engaged - 6 Degrees.

    Serious outfit. Hallam won't need advice from Hird or any other second raters.

    I like the fact we are taking our time. If there is no high quality candidate then we keep waiting until there is.

    Head-hunters are working in a thorough and professional manner. Very confident of the outcome.

    Although, how would Koz feel if the upshot was that he would no longer be playing (either withheld by MFC (restraint of trade?) or dropped by AFL)?

    Agree. Should be kozzies call but dees should ask afl for please explain .

    But we know the answer.
