Sorry but Iā€™m simply not one of those people that hates a team for all eternity just because they smashed us yesterday. Iā€™d hate about 17 teams if that were the case. 

Which is why I can hate 17 clubs.

    Equally? So youā€™ve never barracked for another team in a game? Ever?

    I have this dilemma as well.

    My very nice, sympathetic Collingwood supporting but Melbourne member husband tells me that he is trying his best to get me a ticket to go with him to the GF.

    I really, really do not want to go as I really despise Collingwood and dislike that American bloke plus I really dislike WC. I have a zero care factor about this game.

    We go overseas the Monday after the GF so I am going to invent a crisis at work that needs my undivided attention all day Saturday and give the game a miss altogether. Think I will take myself shopping a buy a consolation prize for our team not making it.?

    Sigh....I am going with my collingwood supporting partner...I was at Perth & saw eagles supporters up ā€œclose & personalā€ ....however I cant abide collingwood..in fact after attending many GFā€™s....I just donā€™t care

    It is really hard to get excited. I feel bad for a couple of people that I know who are Collingwood supporters and cannot get a seat. I wish I could give my ticket to one of them but my husband wants to take me and that is that.

    I have only ever been to one other GF and that was Pies vs Geelong which they lost. My most vivid memory of that day was Meatloaf?. Not sure if the Black Eyed Peas will be any better...

    The things we do for love.

    I just wish the boot was on the other foot and I was going to see the Dees play in a GF - then I would be beyond excited.

    This is a really strange thing to say on a forum full of hardcore MFC fans who were still gutted over the result. Sound more like an all round fan of the game than a die hard Melbourne fan.

    Trust me Iā€™m both. Iā€™m a diehard (shattered) Melbourne fan that just loves watching anyone play, particularly a grand final.

    I was bitterly guttered when I missed out on a grand final ticket via AFL members. last Sunday. First grand final Iā€™ve missed since 2003.

    Iā€™ve never been to a Grand Final and had no interest in going after what happened last week but I think if youā€™ve built up a sort of tradition of going for 15 years straight it would probably hurt to miss it.

    No, not equally.
    Essendon and Collinwood top the list.
    And I barracked for St.Kilda in the 2010 GF. 
    Doesn't mean I didn't hate them and the way they were coached at the time, just means I hated them less than Collingwood.

    Yep, fair enough. Think weā€™re on the same page. 

    I wish this GF was cancelled.

    you can usually count on the colliwobbles - so near, so far, so sweet

    but congratulations for beating their own record for the most lost grand finals and pushing it to the amazing figure of 27 - outstanding effort

    Is there an icy atmosphere in the @jane02 household tonight?

    Believe it or not I actually feel sorry for my husband. He was very gracious in defeat. I know if it had happened to Melbourne, I would still be lying in fetal position wailing on the ground. He is a much better loser than I would be.

    I can say the WCE supporters near me were obnoxious.

    Bah to being gracious. Far better  being nasty, resentful and petty in defeat.

    And Jane ā€¦. stick some knitting needles under your fingernails for feeling sympathy towards a filth supporter.

    I didn't give a toss. Until the last quarter, and started supporting WC. The brain will do what it wanna do. But I won; hoorah!

    It was good when Darling dropped the ball in the goal square with a minute to go.

    Made the last minute and the final margin even more agonising for the filth ...

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win ā€” something they havenā€™t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, theyā€™ll need to exorcise the Demons of last yearā€™s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
