    2 goals 6 behinds for Sydney in nearly 3 quarters of footy and not one “ How did we lose to Sydney?” post.

    Impressive!

    That said, Melbourne has shown this year that interstate travel and hostile crowds hold no fear for this team.

    Agree entirely, though I am absolutely certain that instructions from HQ,  +/- intimidation from the crowd, +/-  maybe some brown paper bags will guarantee that the umpiring will not be equitable like it was when we beat them over there recently.

    Never thought I would say this but Comon the Pies!!

    I feel dirty but I agree.  (Maybe something to do with getting excited by a Weideman which couldn’t even be considered when we last held the Cup).

    What idiot signed off on these two guernseys? Can barely tell burnt orange and red apart on the AFL app (albeit lower quality than watching on TV). Shouldn't the Giants be wearing their white away strip? 

    What idiot? Who is the head of AFL?

    A handful by what one can see on TV, and who knows, some of those wearing orange may just be Irish Protestants.

    I’ve got nine and a half fingers, and when I counted, I had a couple left over. 

    There’s a ripple of polite applause each time they score, if that helps answer your question.

    Failed scoreboard pressure when we dominated early.

    Thankfully the ? did not take advantage yesterday

    For all they do well..the Hawks played a less than brilliant strategy... against a marauding team...in the WET !!

    Strange stuff up by Clarko really.

    We'll beat them next week ;)

    I wouldn't get too confident yet.

    Rumour is next week's guest on Open Mike is Garry Lyon. And if Mike can't finish us off then and there, he has Cameron Schwab saved up for later.

    I’m at the game (if you could call it that)... I can’t recall being at a more boring game. Nothing like finals footy... where’s the frenetic pace, where’s the risk taking?  If Buddy doesn’t wake up soon, the Swans season is over.

    That's their problem ... only time they look like scoring is when it goes near Buddy, and that's not often.

     

     

    Meanwhile ... I'm enjoying this new game called "watch the other finalists and imagine how we'd go against them". It's a lot of fun.

    Sydney loves to run over the mark .... got away with it all day against us. 

    Nice to see them humiliated as they exit

    Well played GWS! Losing to us R23 so they can go to the SCG in an elimination where Sydney suck.

    Sydney and Geelong out of the finals in the first week.

    The tide is turning at last.

    Frankenstein really relies on great delivery.  Cut out their mids and he is bloody near useless.

    How many more years on his 99 year lease?  Looks past it really, and not particularly interested.

    How many Premierships have the Swans won since Buddy joined them?

    It's a lot better than the game of "Watch all the finalists and shudder at how much they'd smash us by" that I've been playing for the last dozen years.

    Zac Jones nothing like his brother - faux tough with cheap snipes but doesn’t put his head over the ball when it counts.

    Damn it, Sydney just managed to score more goals than Weideman.

    How embarrassing were the Swans?  4.6.30 losing to 10.19.79.  WOW! 10 scoring shots to 29.

    So, two recent AFL 'heavyweights' now out of the finals race.

    Up to us to eliminate the remaining 'heavyweight' next week.  Very confident we will get the job done.

    Surely more than sufficient reason that they should never ever play a GF.

    Blloody awful.

    That was definitely a different Giants side... Glad they are on the other side of the ledger (until the GF of course).

    Swans were flattered by the scoreboard... probably should have been over at half time like our game should have last night.

    Now for the battle of the Birds in the West.

    PS. I can see a new rule at the end of next season about use of the boot to fend off a player... not a good look

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
