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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
