As lame as this might sound, I reckon if it wasn't for Goodwin finally addressing our failure to make it into the finals, I would not be giving too much of a stuff about these games. He added some closure to my frustration, enough to allow me to lift my spirits and be interested in watching a finals series that does not contain the MFC. I'm not going to do a Taylor Adams and say "we deserved to play finals" because we clearly didn't.

So it starts tonight in Adelaide with what should be a win to the Crows. I'm still holed up in Orange in central NSW so given that the Giants are playing it'll be televised on regional TV. I'd be skeptical of watching any footy out here if there wasn't a Sydney team playing tonight.

Anyway, I'm hoping the Crows get up tonight because I just do not ever want to see the Giants win a flag.

In other games:

Tigers (yeah I hate them but Cats have had too much success of recent times)

Swans for obvious reasons.

Power.

Agree on all except the Richmond result.  I want to see Richmond go out in straight sets and hence, the balance of the universe restored.  Geelong will not make it to the Grand Final regardless, so I won't begrudge them a win this week.

I won't be watching a minute of the finals, but will be getting in the betting side of things. Do like Geelong head to head and Essendon at the line. Port should win but a little too short for my liking.

I want the crows to win, port, sydney to smash essendon or just beat them. Please sydney just do it. I want the cats to win tomorrow night just to give the tigers fans a reality check and quieten them down. 

Im looking forward to tonights game though. Should be interesting.

The AFL will want a Sydney team and a 'fairytale'.  Watch the umpiring assist on this basis.  If GWS get through, watch the Bombers get a ride.  If Adelaide get up, the Swans should get the lollies from the maggots.

Personally, I want the Bombers to get such a flogging that Daniher thinks he is in the showers with Jobe.  Adelaide let us down last week (bastards), so would be nice for them to pay the price for dropping form.  Port are pretenders, and the [censored] away from Symons lose their three best players (usually wearing Yellow) and will require Dangerwood to be prolific.  

WCE are flat track bullies and likely straight set losers, even though Port have no chance in later rounds.

Richmond are an interesting case study.  Ninth last year, flag this year sounds like a trend I could follow...

So, GWS, Sydney,Richmond, Port.

Hope Sydney get smashed.

Hope T Green does a knee.

Hope geelong dont win a flag . 

Not against the tigers for the same reason we all whinge about how long its been.

GwS can wait their bloody turn. Its a rent a team.

I hate Geelong with the passion, but I hope they contribute to a very black fortnight for Richmond. Richmond going out in straight sets will ease the pain of round 23 oh so much.

If Adelaide lose tonight, I think the criticism should be heaped on them. As in no Sloane no Adelaide, which would be a poor reflection on them as a side.

Promises to be an interesting finals series. 

My prediction - GWS win tonight and go all the way to the flag.

Hey, better them than Geelong.

Admin - shut this thread down, it's too depressing

Two thIngs

1. I am still really annoyed at the way we finished off the season. Normally I get over it but this time it's different. 

2. Because of the above I really don't give a stuff about th finals and I'm not even sure if I will watch any of it. 

Im just so sic of not being there and to finish the way we did just added salt into our wounds.

IMO Adelaide are not very convincing as minor premiers. They're vulnerable against GWS tonight. 

Would love the tiges out in straight sets, sick of Geelong but I think they'll come unstuck in the prelims. 

Sick of Sydney having everything, finals , flags, buddy , cola , coming back from 0-6, they will go deep though

Hoping esssendun get thrashed , they were gifted a dream run home into finals. 

Wanted port to smash meth coke , might make me feel a bit better about us missing out

i kinda could find a reason to be annoyed at anyteam winning this year, the dogs last year were a novelty even then I was envious they broke their drought

whilst GWS are a facelesss corporate entity franchise, at least if they win then it maximises the number of disappointed supporters of the rest (share the pain with us I reckon )  ... the only winners really from a GWS flag will be that gill will surely land his bonus next year and the local Pizza Hut where they'll have their after party for their 25 paid up members

As you can see I'm not bitter at all about not making it this year

Why the hate for Geelong... as opposed to their coach? Some people can't differentiate...

Geelong finished second and quite frankly can match any team ...aside from Sydney...I just don't see how you can see they are not good enough...

What a friggin soft off the ball free to JCameron 

So many frank punches before the bounce, then that!!

Agree.. Gws for the win.. It will actually hasten their irrelevance I believe.. Not to mention see a few players leave for big dollars

Adelaide is dead to me this finals series. In fact now that I think about it, footy is pretty much dead to me for the rest of this year.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
