Change from those silly around the corners that are so trendy lol

They’re messy aren’t they....

Stevie J started it and he seldom missed. Now players are doing it to hide how nervous they are.

    Terrible game, terrible umpiring, obnoxious crowd and bloody freezing.

    We've been really lucky with our final weather this year. The two best nights for it both weeks.

    Toby Greene needs to go Kung Fu style and get involved in this game. Has done bigger all.

    Downhill skier. Think his form in previous year's finals has been similarly flat. Goes missing when the going gets tough.

    WTF was Sidebottom doing with his arm after that melee? It looked like a Nazi salute?! 

    Thought similar.

    Worst call of the season was burgoyne on brayshaw last night 

    Shiel was worse.

    The non calls not going to the orange abominations are glaring for mine.

    'Old school' so I want these imposters (GWS) out of our finals.

    I want our team to beat proper footy teams as we progress (hopefully progress)  Never said the same about the Eagles,  Crows,  Port & Freo ... footy states that deserved representation.

    I still hate Collingwood though - sheer unadulterated hatred.  Pure hate.

    I agree. I was just thinking couldnt imagine Melbourne playing GWS in a GF? How bad would that be. Reckon it would feel an empty event given what we would have gone through to get there. 91,000 Dees and 3 GWS orange people.....na no way. Hope the pies knock em out.

    Umpiring is disgraceful.

    GWS player should've knocked it over the line rather than get flattened on top of the ball. Although with this biased umpiring it would've been called deliberate.

    Either way, umpiring is ridiculously biased in Collingwood's favour. With the scores this close, they'll probably determine the outcome with a howler call (or non-call).

    One week at a time Wadda,  one week at a time!

    But if we can get that far (mozz factor deactivated) I'd much rather face the Tigers or Pies.

    And no,  I am not getting ahead of myself or any of that bathwater nonsense!  ??

    There was also the touched goal in the third.

    Was that kick before the last goal the required distance.

    I was just saying that! Barely 15m.

    Anyway, game over. Umpires and AFL get their wish.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
