Somehow appropriate that the last score of the game was a behind to us ..... very very disappointing game .... but there is some upside (I hope !!!)

Yeah... I tipped the cats by 24 but my caveat was that I did not want to dent our confidence going into the next three important weeks. Will be interesting to see how the team deals with this loss

From the AFL site Another set shot miss from the Demons who have kicked 6.11.(47) compared to the Cats 10.2.(62) from set shots at goal.

just noticed they missed one..... had to happen some time ... pity it was not a little earlier and on a few more occasions

17:2 ..... unbelievable and us 13:17 .... also unbelievable

4 straight goals to Geelong and we are now 9 points down ..... I think we found a new way to lose a game today

Unbelievable ... two great quarters and we are less than a kick in front Hard to see us winning this ... the Footy Gods just don't give you that many chances !!

From the AFL site: Since quarter time, the Demons lead in scoring shots 23-7, for a return of 10.13.(73) to 7.0.(42). Go Dees

Harmes !!! and one more please before 3/4 time

12:2 (GFC) to 11:17 (MFC) need the next 2 goals !!!

And they get the quick reply .... seems that the footy gods are not on our side

Ah... the synchronicity... consecutive misses by our Co -captains .... what can one say

we have probably done that already

10.2 (62) GFC.... 9:15 (69) MFC

9.2 (56) Geelong to MFC 7.11 (53) at Half time PS.. we just scored the first goal of the third quarter and are now in FRONT !!!!

we lead the inside 50's 31-18 but we are behind ... amazing

Much improved quarter ... if only that cross breeze was not so strong to the end we are kicking to !!! C'Mon Dees

It's that Docklands wind !!!

Need to kick the next two and go into half time in the lead One senses we are close but not quite there

regulation MFC quarter.... unimpressive

North are starting to remind me of the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail Black Knight: Come on then! King Arthur: What? Black Knight: Have at you! [Kicks Arthur] King Arthur: You are indeed brave, good Sir Knight, but the fight is mine. Black Knight: Oohh, had enough, eh? King Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left! Black Knight: Yes I have. King Arthur: Look! Black Knight: Just a flesh wound

25 goals in a game... wow.. wonder what the official record is. .... Can recall some 100 goal wins but not the individual goal scorers After some googling sounds like it might be 48 or more... http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1509140

So... the out of contract youngster goes into the draft without compo to Brisbane at a gazillion dollars which means he probably ends up elsewhere anyway or they deal with Richmond. Sounds like what is going to happen to any lower club who cannot deliver the goods... money and success Mind you the Boyd example was different... take the money and then chase the success... just so happened he got the early success as well

Not much flowing football Hard to say what that game meant but because it was so close it was very entertaining Collingwood definitely closed down Sydney's traditional run. Sydney v GWS in a week or two will be a season defining game for the Swans. Still.... when I opened this post I asked for a close game and we certainly got it. Could not see that free against Zac Jones.... ball up at best
