My favourite part of grand final day

Recommended Posts


The best thing about the grand final is that its over and now we can get down to the happy period of the year, drafting. Where every demon supporter is filled with hope and promises of things that could be. This is not to be confused with the start of the new season where hope usually gets a serious battering if not completely flushed down the toilet.

My least favourite thing today was seeing some blind drunk, hobo-resembling Eagles supporter verbally abusing Ross Lyon as he walked away from the G by himself.

In true Ross Lyon style he just kept walking while muttering under his breath.

An interesting stat was Nik Nat's 3 kicks, 1 handpass for a total of 4 possessions. Plus 3 tackles and 37 hit outs which were mainly sharked by the likes of Mitchell and co. No marks. Imagine what Jack Watt's critics would be doing if he produced such miserable figures. NN is highly overrated in my opinion and some Eagles supporters I know.

His first kick was in the first ten seconds of the game too.

Agree with this. I thought NN was exposed on the big stage. Eagles fans will tell you that his stats aren't important, it's the other intangibles he brings. Pressure, tackling, ground ball knock ons etc. Yesterday the Eagles were screaming out for a marking target as they brought the ball out of the backline & they got nothing.

He is a media darling which is not his fault but I'd suggest if he looked like Sam Jacobs you'd never hear about him.

Anyone see how Bernie went at the kick the footy over the river thing?

He looked horribly hungover and basically said as much when asked how he was feeling.

Love Bernie. He and Tex would've been up to some serious mischief on Friday night.

Something about having cab drivers in the sprint at the expense of seeing a Dees player for a few seconds really irks me with the way everything is for sale with the AFL.

Sure we would have come last but with the loss of the u19s that we could once watch on GF day followed by the ressies, then the main game and then the sprint, there was always something there that showed the world the MFC did actually exist.

Now what little bit of possible tiny exposure on the biggest day of the year was sold to some cabbies?

Have I got it all wrong? Did the MFC refuse to participate?

Meth Coast getting beat was the best part, they will improve as will others and they missed a golden opportunity today froze like rabbits in the headlight and nobody in the middle stepped up when Priddis was targeted as the go to man. Thank Christ they didn't win it would have been unbearable and now a large amount of their fans who are mostly fair weather supporters will disappear again, hopefully for a very long time

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
