Meth Coke have got to get their shite together or this could be a repeat of '99

Fond memories of watching that game in Koh Samui with an Essendrug supporter

Had already bought his Granny Ticket

Never saw him again... :)

I quite like Sideshow Bob, is a young player (30 odd games), but he had a shocking 2nd quarter, owes them at least 2 goals

He can do some fantastic things and look like a gun then he can be completely horrible.

Am torn ATM.

On the one hand, the potential of both WA teams failing in prelim and the subsequent mood in Perth makes me chuckle. Also a team winning from 8th is not bad.

On the other hand, I hate North, they were allowed to effectively cheat in the last round. Also can't see them beating Hawks, Eagles Breyer chance IMO. Finally did I mention how much I hate Norf

Afl will have to change the rules and give all teams the week off before the finals...

The North V WCE game is a clear advertisement of how poor the modern game can be. If I want to watch a tackle-fest I can turn over to channel 9 and watch Melbourne Storm. Ball-up followed by 8 players tackling each other, followed by pressu re d possesions and on it goes. I hate Hawthorn, but boy their football is really good to watch: contested ball followed by incredible kicking and team footy.

WCE are an excellent team and have played brilliantly this year so North bring that boring, slow, defensive footy that is simply carp to watch, bring the game down to a crappy game of who can win the tackle count.

Moments of good footy in this final series, but in the main it has been a snooze.

Indeed, it will be interesting to see who will prevail, still think it will be west coke.

geez it feels like nth have just dominated this game. Not sure how west coast are only 5 points behind. I thought Nic Nat left the ground during that 2nd quarter. Hardly saw him. kennedy needs more help from Darling and Lecras.

Didn't even realise Darling was playing.

Not surprising to see a clueless coach like Scott simply turning this into a tackle slogfest to prevent anyone from scoring. Shithouse footy.

Bloody exhausting for North to spend all 4 quarters just man-watching rather than ball-watching; I'm hopeful this breaks open in the second half and the Eagles kick away.

The Umpiring tonight is a joke. They seriously need to overhaul the entire umpiring department.

.....and instead the AFL want to dig deeper into the cesspit and add an extra maggot each game - ie a 25% dilution of the already thin pickings.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
