Worst possible outcome. GWS vs Pies. Has there ever been a worse final? 

Gutted for Brisbane.

    The soulless GilWS into a prelim, how boring. 

    There will be room surely for them to fit both their supporters into the G?

    At least it isn’t at their home hole with the amplified canned cheering  ?

    3 of the 4 preliminary finalists are playing very average football.  So many clubs will be looking at this years as a big missed opportunity.  

    (Richmond will win at a canter)

    Tomlinson ???  Gee, I dunno.

    There is literally no one to root for next week. I probably hate Richmond the least but knowing that at least one of Collingwood/Giants and potentially the Cats are in the GF is nightmare fuel. Eagles, Bulldogs and Lions were all far more tolerable options and they're all out! [censored]!

    Brisbane forwards have been a disgrace this quarter

    They kept bombing down the line to the area where the Circus had a spare.  Silly strat.  Then when they finally switched the ball across HB (on one occasion only in the last), they got it to a free in Robertson who instead of keeping the ball live and bouncing up to the Arc,  launched it from the wing resulting in a shallow ball inside 50 which was easier defended and that was that.

    He looks VERY ordinary at best.  Another list clogger.

    He was complete rubbish. 7 possessions and had a direct turnover which resulted in a Brisbane goal.

    Full credit to GWS at the end of the day. Showed composure when it mattered.

    We identify a need for outside run and the bloke we identifies plays in the ruck.

    Can't believe Fagan didn't get Martin back on until about a minute and a half to go.

    Was a little proppy with about 10 to go and went to the bench but you need to have your best players on the ground, especially the followers, in that last 5 minutes.

    Nice throw by the Circus which got the ball going forward for their winning goal.

    $600k... puts him into the top ten at least pay wise. Is he worth it ????

    Brisbane have had their chance... remember when we sold them wins

    Go Giants

    Played ruck for about 20 minutes approx SK.  Looking at the rest of his game he had little to no impact unfortunately.

    Our last 12 seasons, bar one, have ended even quicker WWS.

    Yeah, I did hear that RN , just watched the last quarter and I am being a bit dramatic but I was underwhelmed.

    Ugh so the premier will come from collingwood, giants, tigs or cats. I might just build a bunker somewhere and come back out half way through October. This is the worst possible outcome. 

    I do not want any of them to win. 

    But watching brisbane dominate in that final quarter was like watching melbourne. Had the ball but could not convert. What was with the players kicking to the boundary, why did the forwards all lead to the boundary. 

    Chris Fagan would be very frustrated.

    One of the worst umpires finals I can remember. They really lost control of it in the first half and Lions did a Dees in the second

    Richmond and GWS granny. I hate the filth and Geelong. I give GWS a good chance next week.

    Brisbane like us also got too many players sucked into the contests and leaving a GWS player to get free over the back in their virtually empty forward line with a couple of minutes to go was very callow. Back line should have been packed solid. Enjoyed Stefan Martin’s game though. Monstered the Mummy.

    Notice in the first half at least the number of times the ruckman took possession at the centre bounce.

    Duhhhh..... Goodwin

    Frustrated for a couple of weeks maybe..

    Bloke would be rubbing his hands together with the team he’s got on his hands. This years achievement was premature.

    Id kill to have what they have. They play for keeps...something out players don’t do. It’s all too hard..

    Luke Hodge retires - what a career he’s had. Looked tonight like he could have gone around again!

    What a game by Charlie Cameron after getting that injury in the first minute. 

    Hyper extending the elbow. Wow that would be so painful. But he played a cracking game

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
