Makes you wonder with the Swans having a 6 day break has made any difference. As the Cats deserved I don't have a problem with it but the Swans look flat tonight.

    Because tonights lousy Geelong MCG picnic atmosphere has been something you'd want in a prelim against GWS/WCE ?

    Interesting if that did happen how hard geelong would have pushed for that game to be at simmonds. 

    This is the worst the swans have played in a long time. Worse than last years gf. 

    Taylor does look better in the backline and hawkins again hasnt done much.

    Sydney have been rather paltry tonight.

    I dislike Geelong immensely.

    This has been a terrible finals series. 4 blowouts and 1 game decided by terrible umpiring.

    Yuck.

    an MFC win by a blow out is a different thing ... sublime almost.......... to sleep perchance to dream

    Was expecting a closer game tonight

    Other than the Port v WCE game last week the finals have been a bit of a yawn fest

    Was thinking exactly the same thing

    Last Years Final series was heaps better so far

    Next friday should be a classic though

    Cats look tired all year in the last quarter, then start kicking it around like sixteen year olds, in the last quarter. Something wrong here. Must have been in the vial. You know the ones that used to get handed out and not recorded by that other team.

    Thinking the same. Their manic attack on the ball makes one wonder. Supernatural.

    Well Sydney have a few finals bunnies don't they. Tonight Rohan again got found out in a final, Parker wasn't anywhere to be seen, Sinclair had 2 touches and sadly Jones who I rate spent all night fumbling and missing the ball. 

    We can never complain about turnovers and clangers again after watching Sydney completely butcher the ball and their coach continually  allowed geelong to play 1 sometimes 2 extras in defence switch and run the ball up the other side of the ground.

    Worst final I have watched in a long time.

    Did you note the similarities to our own game?

    They would say that they did not get buddy to win premierships, they say they got buddy because there in a transition period, but when you move on depth to get him that's just bull, ever time horse said that I never bought it, when they have needed him most in finals he has either claimed  mental illness, and left them high and dry or he has not fired a shot in GF and tonight. I know you can't help it with mental illness but I would be dirty as a team mate with the big money player,  when  it matters most he does not show up.

    They couldn't get the ball near him last night, Horse was out coached with the Cats basically double teaming Buddy.

    Their mids were thrashed and couldn't give the fwds any kind of service.

    Sucked in Sydney, COLA and Academy picks won't gift you a flag this year. Now for GWS to lose tonight and I won't care who takes out the flag.

    I stopped watching at qtr time after the duckers had 3 dubious free kicks:  Selwood faked a hit on the head (resulted in a goal).  Dangerfield who dived forward (kicked a point) and another to him for some unknown reason (goal).  Even the commentators were saying umpires should pay what they see and not what they think happens to champions.

    Meanwhile, at the other end Taylor (and sometimes Touy) were blocking Buddy or manhandling him eons before the ball got near them and at one stage Taylor got the free because Buddy jostled him out of the way.  Buddy got no protection whatsoever from the umpires.

    The die was cast in the first 20 minutes and the terrible umpiring gave Geelong all the momentum and the quarter time lead.

    The final score suggests Sydney were outplayed and outcoached so didn't deserve to win. 

    But that doesn't overcome the umpires' favouritism for certain players and noticeable lack of that for others.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
