Finals Week 2 - Non MFC Game


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

I wanted gws to win because I just didn't want to put up with another week of the filth and there fans. Now they could beat richmond and I could not stand it to see them in a gf. If we got through to play them it would be the most nerve racking day ever. I couldn't' stand losing to them. 

At least if GWS got through I could have enjoyed watching them play Richmond. I doubt they would have beaten them. 

Gee they just got off to a terrible start. I also noticed in the beginning the giants players would look at the pies player when a contest was about to happen. Instead of just focusing on the ball. 

I bypassed the final term because I could see what was baout to unfold, but in that 3rd term I saw Jeremy Cameron mark outside 50 and instead of going back just played on and blazed away. 

Toby Greene did nothing except flop all night.

Nailed it. 

Theres a lot of people here that are happy to flirt with Collingwood potentially winning a flag for the possibility of us playing them in a Grand Final and that’s fair enough. I can’t do this.

Cannot "get" Cameron as a player or person, but i reckon in the right hands he would be a gem. The rest of them would appear to be too spiritually minded for my liking....

Ha ha!  You are right Layz but If we are to win a flag I want to win it against a despised opponent who have a strong following.  Let's make it memorable.

But of course,  it's one week at a time (slaps oneself - back on the straight & narrow)

Well done to the pies a truly beautiful thing. ( Of course they will burn at the stake next week , but no matter)

GWS a basket case of course,  but also no matter .( Scully manoeuvre possibly the AFL and the individuals , greatest disgrace in AFL history and  both are  now woefully exposed as a result. Truly magnificent also).

GWS in great difficulty now like GCS and meanwhile Tassie  still plead.

Gill maybe you should call someone to help.

I hope Richmond beat Collingwood by one point and Eddie the [censored] is left wondering what a 7 day break might have meant...

I hope that Collingwood beat Richmond and play us in the Grand Final. At least we get the opportunity for revenge for the 1958 Grand Final when they prevented us from winning a record six consecutive Premierships (viz. 1955, 1956, 1957, xxxx, 1959 &1960)!

To beat Collingwood by a point with a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren would be a wonderful sight (especially if the cameras were all trained on Eddie McGuire)! ?

It seems Eddie's rant last week about a missed free to Cox has paid dividends: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/a-number-of-touchy-free-kicks-against-gws-prove-costly-early-in-semifinal-against-collingwood/news-story/c8f3688c1ee1a1a1ff2b9e84aee8bfd1

"Collingwood received eight free kicks to the Giants’ two in the opening term.
Those included a number of contentious, “soft” calls — while the Giants appeared unlucky to miss out on some calls of their own... The most controversial fell on the stroke of quarter-time".

No wonder they raced to a 3.6.24 to 0.2.2 lead.  At the end of they day they deserved to win but that sort of umpiring can give the momentum to one team and can be energy sapping to the other.

Yes a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren, but as a result of a miss-kick out of the goal square by Jeremy Howe.

There would be nothing sweeter. Nothing sweeter at all!

Just hope I could make it to that point!

Oh God - my husband and I have already discussed this possibility. I don't know if our marriage would survive.....

Seriously though wouldn't it be great. For my general health I would rather have the game won well before the final siren though.

I’m with you.  Give me a 60 point thumping to the Dees.  No heart attacks needed.

Write GWS off at your peril, they were massively stuffed with injuries this year. I am glad we are making hay this season because they could be a bloody big road block next year. Reading about the new talent they have coming in kills me.

IF Norm just heard the name, and not the club for whom he is playing, he would turn in his grave like a rotisserie.

But if Weed could pull it off, would it be the final exorcism?

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
