@FinalsEssendon It is amazing to me that this post is as far removed in time to today as this post was to the leaglisation of gay marraige in the US and both are still a decade removed from Essendon's last finals win

@VLQ28 @piersmorgan It was not the wicket, neither side could bat

@piersmorgan As bad as England were with the bat, pitches should not be produced which support 2 day finishes.

BREAKING: Australia beat England in just two bloody days. Disastrous start to the Ashes. I’m going back to bed.

@sirswampthing @brisbanelions @HawthornFC @Adelaide_FC @GoldCoastSUNS @AFL How many did Geelong and Collingwood have under their belts last week?

Total #AFLFinals experience for this weekend's named 23s 246 - BRIS 108 - HAW 68 - ADEL 44 - GCS @brisbanelions @HawthornFC @Adelaide_FC @GoldCoastSUNS @AFL

@AFL I understand you want to be generating hype with posts, but this ain't it.

Hawks are calling to say goodnight 😴 #AFLHawksCrows

@tom_king79 Kid looks the goods

Fair to say the Oli Wiltshire debut for Geelong drums are beating very loudly.

@DJDanarchy @hex_bear @lions_by Would be awesome if you turned it into one. Banger

@hex_bear @lions_by Not a full length song as of right now, but I do have a few more sections that weren't used in the 30 second version which could easily become a full song if there is desire for it!

@3AWisfootball It's like they elected to make the hard decision, saw how hard it was, then decided to postpone the hard decision in the hope ot got easier. Twice.

Clayton Oliver still hasn’t shut down the prospect of a trade, according to Sam McClure. And Sam also had some STRONG words on the ‘unmitigated disaster’ unfolding at Melbourne. 👀 MORE 👉 nine.social/PT4

@IllusionsWake @Sammy__Edmund Olivers manager called them not the other way around.

@Sammy__Edmund Why was Geelong wasting everyone's time? They never had the pick to make a deal. Were they just stirring up trouble?

Very fluid situation but this is how things stand. Melbourne (and Oliver) had a look. But my understanding is the Demons are prepared to shut this down tonight, because A) They believe club and player can fall back in love and B) Because the deal was nowhere near fair value.

@adam_jordan @RCCSSocial You're paying Shultz and Perryman what?!

@RCCSSocial They don’t overpay average players like we do. Schlutz and Perryman take up 2 million a year for us. 🤷🏻

At some point we have to ask Geelong a serious question - how? 💰

@DryburghTom @Sammy__Edmund Cats will probably have more games experience retire end of year than North did in 2016 so it's hardly settled they'll be stronger

@Sammy__Edmund Would be better for the Dogs to send Bailey Smith to the pre-season draft than let the Top 4 Cats get him for peanuts and get even stronger next year when the Dogs are competing against them in the premiership window.

The Western Bulldogs are hell bent on a quality first round draft pick for wantaway midfielder Bailey Smith. Geelong’s first round pick sits at 16, but could slide back into the 20s. Dogs say that's not going to cut it, but Smith is out of contract and there's little leverage.

@BurnerWright I think you had the Delorean set to the wrong year

I’m from the future here to tell you the swans win the first quarter against port 27-13

@kanecornes @traderadio Lawson Humphries at pick 94 looks elite. Was this what you meant by "my bad"

@traderadio My bad

Arguing for 6 weeks over a 4th rd pick. Yep

@Marruso89 @Jasperc53 That's correct. It ended up being Mitch Edwards, George Stevens, and The G.O.A.T Humphries

@Jasperc53 Pretty sure the Humphries selection was the draft pick Geelong haggled all trade week with Port for in the Esava deal… obviously pick 90 odd got gobbled up with all the matching. Could be wrong, but seems a masterstroke early days

The Cats are playing Lawson Humphries as their spare man in defence. It’s his third AFL game. He was drafted at pick 63 after playing most of his footy in the Swan Districts reserves. This club simply refuses to be bad at footy. Unbelievable

@mattjcan Just checking mate but isn't the lowest cost state there the one with the highest renewables?

This is why we need nuclear energy. These are the wholesale electricity prices in Australia's electricity grid right now. Red is not good. These prices used to average $40 before we went mad on too much renewable energy. We need to build reliable power stations NOW!

@sirswampthing A dead rubber where they sent everyone out for surgery. Don't suppose you know the one before that? I reckon the only other dead rubber Scott has ever coached was 2015. Maybe then?

The named 23 for GEEL is their youngest team since 2023 R24 #AFLSunsCats

@teknokrat__ @still_oppressed They mocking him?

@still_oppressed Have you seen the one in Lebanon?😭😭

Looking at some of the statues of General Soleimani that have been built in recent years in Iran and it is imperative that they stop commissioning these

@nbc_cfc @cleary_mitch No it should not. This is the prime example that priority picks solve the wrong problem

@cleary_mitch Still haven’t received a start of first round priority pick which should have been given

In nine games this year, North Melbourne has five losses by 50+ points. It's the same number they had for the entire 2023 - a season the AFL decided to hand the Roos 3x end of first-round picks. #AFLSunsNorth

@grigg_d @3AWisfootball Yeah Dangerfield and Guthrie aren't very good anyway right?

@3AWisfootball Minimal injuries help

Matthew Lloyd couldn't be more impressed with what the Cats are currently doing. MORE 👉 nine.social/DM6

@KrockFootball Any chance at getting the final score/goals/best?

3QT - Cats lead 16.5 (101) to Essendon 5.11 (41)

Of Geelong’s emergencies for tonight, Mitch Knevitt, Toby Conway and Connor O’Sullivan have run out with VFL. Brandan Parfitt looks like the carryover for this evening.

@GeelongVFL Hey guys, this was supposed to be on kayo but wasn't. Is there any chance footage goes up online somewhere? Need a Wiltshire and Humphries fix.

That's that on that 🙅‍♂️ The match simulation will finish up early today in 37-degree conditions. #VFLBluesCats | #WeAreGeelong
