AFL Finals - Week 2

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. 

 

We'd be getting absolutely towelled up by contested marking if we'd produced our tough contested win of the century against Sydney last week.

Swans 2nd to the ball all night J

They've got no excuses. 


Sydney have been rather paltry tonight.

I dislike Geelong immensely.

Money well spent

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

Yuck.

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.

I thought Zac Jones played well.

 

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.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
