Three-quarters into the game at Kardinia Park and it's following a similar script to most other Geelong matches this season. Tight, tough and a bit ugly. Dockers with a 12-point lead, if they hold on it'll create a more interesting finals race for both conferences. They've blown a few chances, including two just now from Hooker and Miller, so it's all set up for the Cats to storm home and make them pay... and jjjjjust before I post this thread, Freo extend the lead to 18.

Should be a good chance for North to test their resilience after the first loss. And I think Collingwood are in a weird situation where they are probably at season-high confidence levels despite slumping to 0-5, based on the vibe I got from Siekman's post-match presser last week.
 
Quite an enjoyable game from siren to siren, and the scoreboard summed up the story of the game pretty fairly. Kangas controlled it but were sloppy in front of goals, Pies efficient when they had chances in what was their best performance of the season imo.

Keeping an eye on the likely Cordner v Brennan and Spark v Cunningham match-ups, and of course the midfield battle between these two teams should still be hot even without Pearce and Kearney involved.
 
Eden Zanker wowee, what a kick. Cometh the moment.

Do Melbourne's shorts say "Love The Game: Not The Dogs" ??
It's a worthy cause. Might say "odds" instead of Dogs though.

Odds have swung in the Dogs favour after that Conti goal however. What can Melbourne conjure up with their season on the line this time.
 
With a minute to go what was that dogs player thinking, surely you just go to the top of the square.
