I reckon it's been gripping. Turnovers galore and not much scoring, but it's absolutely intense. 

I can't imagine our skills being slick on a night like tonight. Every possession would be 'wobbly'

    Hard to believe we're watching 2nd vs 3rd. Pressure is intense but skill level and gameplans are absolute horseshit. This match should be used as an example of what is wrong with the modern game.

    This is what makes my blood boil. If this is the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the comp, the competition is [censored]. Even St Kilda have played more scintillating footy at times this year.

    If we'd shown up, this could easily have been our year of making it all the way. The comp will only be more even and more difficult next year.

    Cats fans annoyed about the home crowd advantage here for Tigers, might want to blame the city of geelong for not planning to expand the population to 3 million over the last century :D

    Tigers have a big enough lead to hold on here. Must feel sweet for Tigers fans after all this time. Hope it's our turn next!

    Has Dangerfield hit a target all night? He is choking worse than a porn star.

    That was a great individual effort by Bikie Jnr to set that up.

    Martin's disposal and decision making shits all over Dangerfield's.

    Are the tigers that quick? Or are the cats just that slow?

    No way, Geelong are one of the only clubs that can kick 4 goals in under 5-10 minutes in a final. They can't do much else though.

    The latter.

    I'm saddened that our record of winning a final more recently than Richmond looks set to expire, but credit to them. They've turned themselves around while we continue to wallow in the misery that is Melbourne. We are the new Richmond.

    This game shows we need to get more speed through the middle and front half of the ground. Outside of Jeffy we've got bugger all.

    Dion Johnstone, and another? Less inside midfielders in the forward line hey. We need players who have natural manic pressure and can do it all year

    If Motlop can kick 3 or 4 and help get Geelong over the line, will we finally consider him as a RFA worth a punt ?

    Yuk.

    I can't recall a kick of his tonight that hasn't gone directly to a Richmond player.

    Dion Johnstone is a long shot to make it at AFL level. Our current 22 lacks speed and skill. It's too heavily weighted towards grunt. The finals matches last night and tonight showed what wins in the modern game. Speed and skill.

    We should be making quick outside midfielders and quick half forwards our priority over the off season. We are overly stacked with inside midfielders, and midfield types such as Neal-Bullen and Harmes who float between roles instead of nailing one down.

    Jeez Motlop has been awful tonight. Wouldn't bother with him as a Restricted Free Agent.

    Tigers have smashed them in the end. What a weird and rubbish match this was. Enjoy the win Tigers fans!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
