Nice work, and all Lyonball except the reduced time game in 2020 due to Covid.

Probably the hand that allegedly touched Close's goal against GWS a couple of weeks ago.

Jack 'I only ever turn up against Geelong' Lukocious again doesn't trouble the scorers since I picked him as an anytime goalscorer in today's game. Yet when there are blue and white hoops against him it's like seeing Gary Sr again. Absolute Lyon-esque snore-fest scoreline, 7.9.51 to 7.6.48...

Ultimate example of that was Rd 3 1985, St.Kilda were spiflicated by 100 pts in the opening two games, but the Tigers winning 211-98 managed to increase St.Kilda's percentage from 27.5 to 34.7! In Rd 6 that season, Geelong's enigmatic side under Hafey managed to also achieve that feat, Geelong...

I know they are not 'In season' losses, but Geelong lost the two Finals in 2014 (to Dawks and norf) and the opening two games of 2015 (Dawks and Freo). So his coaching has now had two runs of 4 successive losses.

Oh, the umps said it was a throw, which tends to happen when you're pulled by the thighs/legs...and then thumped to the ground.

Bit sus isn't it. We're castigated for J.C's on-field check by the doctors, but this bloke plays with two apparent head high hits, plays out the game with a lump on his face, but not a syllable in conjecture. Bit of horsearse to be honest.

Judd though I reckon was somewhat frustrated at the constant drug allegations and the Cousins situation at W.C.E, and that would have made him think it best to move away from there at that stage. Then again he was only 24 or so at the time, so quite young, same draft as Ablett, Bartel, Stevie J etc.

I'd be stoked if Geelong can get three in four years for 2027, 2029 and 2030 like those Blues. Essential to get some run in the team and focus on cutting down our intercept marks we concede.

Lost the two finals in 2014 (straight sets) and then lost the opening two games of 2015. But this is the first in-season loss of 4 in a row for Geelong under Scott.

I guess now at 7-4 we're better placed than 5-6 last season, but we're now needing to get a couple of unexpected type wins to get back the losses at home. It's just that feeling we left the points on the table at K.P with periods of uncompetitive footy, as for a reasonable part of those games we...

Just knew blokes like that would come out, bloody Lukocious has been diabolical, in supercoach he was averaging about 40 in his previous three games, but oh no, against Geelong he becomes Gary Sr. Riccardi too, a frustrating bloke to pick as an anytime goalkicker in other games, but against the...

We really need to focus on getting the ball to ground more. Tyson is one of our smallest players but of recent times maybe our most reliable mark. Reminds me of times we'd bomb it to Matty Stokes at times. But at that stage of the game conceding intercept marks was crucial. And Leek Aliir has...

Ominously watching the game last night, the Tigers finally put their most dangerous and talented players forward (Dusty and Bolton), and no surprise they kicked a few goals between them. Last year the aforementioned two and Cotchin also kicked a bunch, and we were beaten by 5 goals. The way...

I reckon Geelong right now seem to be a bit stiff with smothers and ricochets. Even if we effect a smother it will probably 70/30 wind up with an opposition player. But we aren't all that good at doing what some club's players can do and kick 'underground' type passes or rolling handballs that...

I still rankle at the John Hendrie Goal in 1978 when malarkey's fingers were stuck in the ball, and it was given all clear, although no reviews back then. Touched off the boot ones really suck, one last night was given the all clear because the replay had a players head covering the hand and ball.

We need to. Not working now, two losses at home. We must go all out to win against the Tigers as i fear we will get monstered by the Swans, and certainly sides like the Pies and Freo. We must develop any sort of speed that exists in the ressies and introduce it to the seniors. The Pies had a...

Might be a good omen for the Pies, last season they had two draws was 2010, a Premiership season. Albeit the second one was the GF.

It would be worthwhile, but given the extraordinarily long time since these new accusations (1967-68!), some who may have provided cover for any accusation or offence then may well be dead, Cable is almost 81. To put that into a historical context, it would be like now doing a full investigation...

Collingwood and Geelong have actually had the most head to head meeting in finals in VFL/AFL history, 26 meetings, with it being 14-12 in Geelong's favour. Probably because both sides (Particularly the Pies) are perennially up there competing, hence it's logical to wind up playing each other...

What is Naarm's record? They'd be nearly on a par with the Dean Bailey or Paul Roos incarnation of the Redlegs wouldn't they?

Probably after Sydney's peak in the '05-06 era, but from the Rd 12 game in 2006, Collingwood won 12 in a row against Sydney, who under Roos couldn't lay a glove on the Pies in that time. But there was only one final in 2007 that was involved in that streak. Indeed a little like with Geelong and...

Meh, yep 2008 and 2013-2014, but we can cling onto 2011 QF and 2016 QF. Indeed Isaac Smith must have been a secret Geelong plant, as he joined us a few years later and won another Flag and a Norm for us. The late Ron the Bear confirmed in a question I asked him a few years ago, the Dogs of...

In one sense it shows how good Geelong has been since the spoon years of '57-58 that Farmer's record is looked upon in this light. I was only 3-4 y/o in Bill McMaster's time, but after Peter Pianto left the job in 1970 when Geelong finished 5th with a 12-10 record, under McMaster the Cats won...

I read that having 13 sides with a percentage over 100 is actually a first, might have been a Swamp Thing snippet I saw or Useless AFL stats, sometimes they come up on my facebook feed. On another note, I was perusing the 1996 season specifically to see what sort of win percentage the Lions of...

You are, we couldn't beat those Lions in a blue fit in that era, even losing by almost 10 goals in '98 when they finished bottom! A draw in 1996, five defeats in a row before the 'Only Lappin' Gaz Jr goal inspired 2004 win, which was a bit of a moment of belief for some of the young Cats then...

Dawgs had a great run at K.P against us in the early 00's....actually checking AFL tables, we lost 5 in a row at our home ground from 1998-2003. Won in June 1996, drought broken with a win finally in May 2005! The Dogs also won that late season game at K.P in '95 when Ablett did his hammy early...

If he's a small forward we'd find a way for him to kick three. But I like referring GWS as GSW.

Hopefully Sydney get tired as the season progresses, vital we beat GSW next week to get back on the horse. But to think we've not beaten them at KP since 2018!

I must have put a rocket up Frisch, but he genuinely is your best forward. The Petty that played Geelong isn't playing today.
