The 2014 finals thread

Featured Replies

Been really enjoying this finals series so far, and over the last month of the home & away season I was totally over footy.

Just more evidence I reckon that they should reduce the home & away season to 18 rounds and extend the finals series to 6 weeks.

 

Freo have dominated for a poor return on the scoreboard.

Would be an injustice if Port were to get up but it's on the cards.

So James. Is it the right move?

The cat dynasty is over

7 years. With G Ablett could have been 10

maybe the right move is North to the Sun'. with gablettJnr

james, Dynasty has finished & Alexis has left the Bank.

we can always hope

Wines is my other man crush.

God that kid is a goer.


Was it the one where he said Crowley was going to Wines when he was clearly following Boak step for step.

Taylor called a no contest when 2 players were arm in arm going for it.

I just laughed...

Brian Taylor is such a fool....

The whole commentary team is such crap...full of predictable clichés

But they failed to apply 'scoreboard pressure' when they had the opportunity


Good game again tonight. God I wish we could play like these teams.

Great game - the finals have been terrific

This is finals footy! It's basically another step up from AFL.


I think the AFL would love it if Port or North won the flag. It would be just great for the game.

How about his call of O'Shea kicking out when it was Pittard and a kick later it gets to O'Shea in the centre and he reckons it was good running to get the ball again. He would have had to run the 5 sec 100 to get that.

Ollie Wines ripping again.

The best 2nd year midfielder of the modern era....

Thanks Mark.


Loving this game tonight... Loving Wines even more

What

A

Game

 

Who's #16 for Port? Wish we could get a player like that . . .

Get the f over it.

EDIT: Another goal from Wines.

Thanks Mark.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
