I just want to wish Zak Jones all the best in this weekends GF. 

He is the first of the Jones boys to make to a GF. 

in saying that I am tipping the Bulldogs. 

Would like to see them win it after such a long drought. 

Next on the list to win it would be the Demons.

    All the hype about the Bulldogs this week has been insane, it could all end in tears very quickly.

    Agreed, they may [play the game before it starts, bit like us in 2000, we looked so good up to the GF and then we just went to pieces.

    Hope the Bulies win and then we win the next three like we did in 55, 56 and 57.

    On a side note....when is the Swans COLA finally phased out?

    BA, I think all clubs have the same salary cap next year. Lions, Suns, Swans and Giants are just left with the academy zones in which is just as much and if not more of an unfair advantage.

    Tipping the swans to win easily. The dogs sort of remind me of the Dee's in 2000. Having said that no one was going to beat Essendon that year.

    Great to see young Jones an important part of the Swans defence. He is a different cat that way he goes about it.

    I want the Dogs to win. No question.

    I think the Dogs are paving a way for our own set of youngsters. Effort is superior to top draft picks such as the Giants received.

    If the Dee's can develop a similar desire to 'do it for their mates' I reckon We'll be in for a few solid years.

    I should be happy for the Doggies supporters after their massive drought but I'm not. It's kind of like seeing your mate win tattslotto. Whilst it's fantastic for your mate, what benefit do you actually get out of it? 

    I hope Buddy kicks a goal after the siren to win the game as a result of a dubious free kick.

    I could've sworn they won the flag last week.

    I've never seen such elation and excitement after a game that wasn't a grand final.

    Recon it will be over at quarter time or they will go goal for goal all day. Haven't been this excited about a GF for a few years.

    Go Doggies

    ( Swans by 40 )

    I think the Swans are taking a huge risk with McVeigh, could come unstuck for them. Maybe he will pull out before the game.

    Along with Mills they could lose this at the selection table.

    I guess we will see how it pans out on the day...

    BA,  I vaguely recall you having a wager on the dogs to be premiers. Is that correct/still on? 

    It was correct mate but not it's not still on, I had :

    Coleman : Kennedy @ $2.75

    RS : Oliver @ $10

    Brownlow : Danger @ $9

    Flag : Dogs @ $12.50

    x $10 outlay = $30,937

     

    Would of been nice.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing....

    Next year I will take a few each way and mix it up. Need to have at least 3 options for the flag.

    Ok great, was thinking Swans COLA was just about wrapped up but was under the impression Suns and Giants has a couple of years left to run on theirs. Hopefully Brisbane's doesn't go back up.

    I think Sydney's is gone (there's probably still contracts in there that use it) but a few years to go for Suns and GWS.

    Dogs will keep the momentum rolling and win by 11 points with Bontempelli to kick the winner.

    would like to see this but think the swans will smash them

    I recon the doggies played their grand final last week.

    Be so hard to muster up that kind of desire again.

    That said,who knows what their coach has put into their heads.

    I really hope they win and it is a game that equals that of last week.

    That game showed me how far our team has got to go to rival that kind of determination.

    I don't think you can compare this GF with 2000. That Bombers side was absolutely unstoppable and had the greatest season in history.

    The difference between the Dogs and Swans quality is a lot smaller than the Dees and Bombers of 2000.

    There's no fairy tales on Grand Final day unfortunately. 

    What do you mean by this? The underdog has won before

    I thought the dogs played their GF, 3 weeks ago, then 2 weeks ago, then last week....

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
