Oliver Sestan; has shown a few glimpses, after a decent outing against Port a few weeks back. Including a very positive last quarter as a midfield-forward. A mighty barrel goal against the Tigers at Punt Rd. Went back into his shell on Sunday. Will Verrall; battled manfully against the experienced, ex GWS Giant 203cm ruckman Tom Downie. A statistically well rated outing quantitatively. Qualitatively? Koltyn Tholstrup; appears to have hit a flat spot after his debut. Perceptions about him have somewhat been clouded given the almost rampant hyperbole and unrealistic expectations around. Andy Moniz-Wakefield; determined young bloke by all accounts. Surely if he keeps knocking opportunities will come.

Appreciate the link/alerts about the Guardian/The Roar stories. Both thoughtful well written articles with intelligent analyses. Reminds me of football journalism of bygone years. Alf Brown and writers of his ilk. The Sporting Globe aka ‘the Pink Bible’ after the game on Saturday night, recapping the highs and lows. Greg Hobbs, Geoff Poulter and Ken Piesse. Monday’s Age Patrick Smith et al, The Sun Mike Sheahan et al and later the Australian. More immediately the radio 3LO 3AW 3KZ and 3UZ which annoyingly had the horse racing calls during the game. And if you were lucky the Demons got football replay on 7 luckier still as winners. ABC no advertising/self promotion back then and some decent callers. Tim Lane, Drew Morphett et al. Special comments from former players and coaches, especially liked David Parkin astute, articulate worth listening to. Now IMHO the ABC caters for disparate demographics and is rife with post-Babel agendas. That attempt to appease ‘moderne’ mores but ultimately diminishes the whole. Switched off years ago. Dumped Foxtel and Kayo. Content now to choose and pick even if it is on 24 hour delay.

Showed some fight post half-time boys against men in the final stanza.

AMW leather poisoning

Casey rising to the challenge Seagulls getting ragged

Jeffo magic!

Lachie Hunter? Another absentee

He’s left the ground?

Grace Slick so surreal

Roy dynamic to Jeffo! Goal

Casey unlikely in front

Karma karma khameleon!

Is this guy a sneaky in mid-season draft?

Roy is the real deal!

Can’t help youthful enthusiasm OD! Willy’s a great ground for night footy though.

Casey Fields today OD! Retraction. May l plead the Ken Hinkley clause.

Cheers DD

Cheers KC 87kgs solid unit.

Did not notice Shane McAdam on the field that quarter.

From WA played with Peel Thunder.

Lovely goal Roy George!

Wellsy by that stage of the match there was a little man inside JC’s head his mind was elsewhere.

joeboy - Tom MacDonald’s career is having a finale like renaissance but must say your 3 word player analysis is very much on song. Personally l would have blown up Clayton Oliver’s saddle bags a little more. Pivotal role in… his second half was excellent IMO. Great to see Ed Langdon in terrific form as well. Harry Petty admitted his last two games had been ordinary. He had a cracker game. May the fourth be with you. After tonight’s team performance dare we dream of another flag. Bloody oath!

Geelong will be on the Karma bus traveling down to Sleepy Hollow Rab. Chris Scott is the coach captain. Should be a barrel of 😆 laughs.

Defibrillator not required fortunately. Some brilliant Demons’ goals in the last quarter after the drought broke. Loved it 🥰! Tom MacDonald proved JC doesn’t walk on water.
