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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    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
