Two minutes of the third quarter is enough for me, Spectre it is.

I'm really sick of being told how incredible Heeney is. Yeah, we all know, that's why in an open draft he was the best midfielder available.

Sydney, just the endless charity case of the AFL.

 

Adelaide still keeping it interesting, but I'd be very surprised if they could get it under 20 points for long. Sydney is just doing enough after that massive first 15 minutes.


There's that 20 point margin. Let's see how long the Crows can maintain this pressure on the Swans' lead.

Commentators just said Eddie Betts is the first small forward since Jeff Farmer in 2000 to get near 80 goals.

And there's that 20 point margin obliterated again in short order by the Swans.

11 seconds before halftime and he does his knee. Just terrible luck for a fella who's had his fair share already.

He?  Who?


 Geelong or Sydney will be in another grand Final. zzzzzzzz

It's their own fault they blew a top 4 position in the final round (or second final round, I forget).

It's amazing how close their numbers are at the moment.

Wiz: 249 games / 483 goals

Eddie: 253 games / 479 goals 

Adelaide's season ended when they choked in Round 23 against West Coast. Went from two guaranteed home finals and the double chance to one home final and three road trips.

Four different preliminary finalists this year compared to last year. That's a good thing, no matter who the teams are.

Unfortunately, a Geelong-Sydney prelim means one of them will be in the GF and the risk of having 10 out of 12 premierships going to the same three clubs remains.

Easy to forget what a champion the Wiz was.

Was the greatest showman we've had in my lifetime. Brought people through the gates. So many big goal hauls. I Remember 10goals in 2nd half V collingwood. Great childhood memories

Another match with rampant throwing.

It boggles the mind how the umps dept can't work out that having been so red hot on calling frees for anything remotely resembling deliberate out of bounds, that the same approach would work for throwing. As in, if it's not absolutely a clear cut handball, call it as a throw. Then watch as throwing is eradicated in less than one round.

Why they decided they needed to crack down on this "scourge" of deliberate OOB when we routinely have throwing, short kicks, and holding off the ball on a weekly basis beats me.

It's a bloody sad state of affairs when I would actually rather [censored] GWS to win a premiership over either alternative (Geelong or Sydney).

I can't stomach either of these teams winning yet another bloody premiership.

Ugggh anything but GW$ winning the Cup please!!!

 

I don't know any GWS supporters.
I know more than enough arrogant Geelong & Swans supporters.
Guess who I'll hear the most gloating from?

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • 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.
