The Grand Final Thread

Featured Replies

Yes i hope the Coach watches that GF a couple of times.

The real stuff for him & our club starts on monday.

We must recruit some players who are ready to go round 1.

New blood who couldn't get regular games at other clubs for reasons out of their control.

Yes we do need kids. But we need experience more.

2013 the respect of the MFC must begin. At present we have none.

But Norm now watches over his MCG.

 

Comiserations to the umps; they gave it their best but couldn't get over the line.

They were lucky Swans won.

If Hawks won that free kick count would have been a controversy.

The next best feeling after a Demons, win is a dawks grand final loss. Absolutely hate that team with a passion & at the moment I'll cherish the night. Might even watch the replay.

it was good ripping in to Hawks supporters today.

They expected that cup all year.

My facebook page has gone feral. Love it.

Apparently Goodes did his PCL today. I doubt he will care for a while after kicking that late goal.

Never say die.

Seems funny that the shite and wee didn't see it coming.

I hate them all-worse than the Filth.

Lets hope a spiral down the ladder follows.

The only thing wrong with today was that I wasnt surrounded by the usual mob of arrogant Hawks supporters so I could rub it in...at the very end if the truth be known.

My son had to tell me to stop looking around.."there arent any here,just watch the game".

The place was full of fellows who had brought their wives for their one game of the year.

MCC Reserve?

Its the players who need to watch the game.Neeld has seen the Pies play committed football for years.

If they were in town and werent there they are a disgrace.

Can you imagine Watts playing loose down back today? Even when he was 20 metres back Gibson looked dangerous, not like he was waiting for a free ride on a reality bus.

Its the only place I'm 'brave' enough to abuse the 'enemy'.

Pathetic I know, but true.

point taken & i do agree, but it is Neeld who must mould this list. He must identify the talent. Because we do need some results next year.

But yes i hope the boys were watching & not scared by it.

Today was real footy, as most Grannies are.

I'm sounding like a broken record but don't forget they have almost just under one million dollars more per year to spend on players.

I'll say it again, they have recruited and drafted very well but I don't get excited by it when they have an unfair advantage.

True... But they are up against the ridiculous home ground advantage that Melbourne teams have when the GF is played at the MCG. It's a horribly unpopular thing to say but I think that it's time for the national game's big event to lose its Melbourne bias.

Besides, I lost patience for this argument when Eddie bleated about it while losing to the Lions (who waited for their time longer than us).

And for the record, I'll go anywhere to watch MFC play in a GF.

I'm pretty certain Neeld was at the ground somewhere and that all the Assistants were watching it as well.

yes. I was interested today at the pub i was in, that everybody has absolutely no time or respect for the MFC when i mentioned who i followed.

We are on our own. Which maybe a good thing.

My Martin Luther King moment: I had a dream today - a guy, number 10 named Morton - two vital goals and some important heavy lifting in a winning GF side. Then I woke up!

Trouble is, BW - the GF doesn't just get set up in the week after the PFs; it takes months. So if not at the G, where the greatest number of teams play and where the greatest number of spectators can fit in, (and where the Dees have their ancestral home) then how do you decide where?

You may argue for the city of the reigning premiers, but say for example that Sydney don't even make the top 4 next year, then HM would attend a game at Homebush?

The GF won't move. The interstate clubs have a very good record on GF day.

I was suprised when i looked it up a while ago.

The prelim finals get set up in the week after the semi finals, so it should be possible for the GF to be set up in the week following the GF. All of the extraneous pieces of the GF get in the way of the actual game. It might even allow for more members of the relevant clubs to attend.

The biggest problem with the salary cap has only just begun, Free Agency.

If they aren't a top four team each year for now on their List Manager should be shot.

is the 10% advantage locked in infinitum? Or is it dropping each year?

As far as I know it's permanent (happy to be corrected on this).

Like I said, the justification is the cost of living, but that would mean Adelaide teams should have a lower salary cap.

yes it is an interesting one.

But we just have to get better. No point bringing up excuses.

We have done too much of that.

Did Neville Jettas mum put in a word for Lewis after Neville was drafted?

Yes and she should be on our recruiting panel.

Recruiting......... nobody knows!

but she knows.

Words to the effect of ........'but there is a better one coming'

OMG; our recruiters were over paid nobodies and that is one reason why.

Yes and It wasn't so much the free kick count as the number of missed frees that the Swans didn't get.

Also I see that the Dawks have the privilege of being allowed to flick pass and even throw the ball.

GFC!!!

the AFL are going to have to allow umpire bashing now or there will be a revolution.

Edited by skills32

Cant believe the Swans won. They won't go down as a "great team" in history, but to be honest this season was a bit lacking in 'great teams'.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
