3pm on Sat for the 2nd final, wtf?

I hope Hawkins gets a 2nd week for having the audacity to appeal

good to see Garry Lyon and co saying he should take the week and run. Most in the media thinking he was lucky to only get one week. imo Hawk has zero chance to overrule the decision

    Call me a cynic, but I'm inclined to believe the AFL has shown how tough it is by handing out the 1 week knowing he can have a no risk appeal and will then get off.  History would indicate I'm right, but you never know I guess.

    Just got an email saying guest passes are available in the AFL members for both preliminary finals.

    Understandable for Collingwood v Giants.... but Richmond v Geelong ... where are Richmond's 100,000 members??

    Oh God - not sure I could handle another Collingwood GF. I get back from overseas on Tuesday and if Collingwood get through I will subjected to torment both at work and home??. Good reason to stay away for another week.

    I hope for my sanity, GWS do the right thing.

    I can kind of see why gws are disappointed, and also Id be pretty annoyed if I saw one of the people that sat on this case in the collingwood rooms the week before with the scarf on. I know Shane Wakelin wouldn't be thinking oh Im going to decided to rub him out because he is playing collingwood but it would still annoy. you.

    Sent a text to SEN this morning asking whether they thought Blicavs would tag Martin, has him covered for run and not a problem when he goes forward...Lyon thought not, I think so...

    It's the right move to my mind and something that Scott would try.

    Let's watch what happens.

    I still think it will be close on Saturday Arvo

    Greater Waste of Space have absolutely nothing to lose, they will be feral. 

    Could be most entertaining!!

    My feeling is that GWS will be blown away by the crowd, umpires and Pies team.  Greene is so important to them and with no Coniglio, Ward and now Whitfield, a win is unlikely.  Imagine us missing Clarry, Harmes, Viney and Gus.

    The other game will be closer.  Geelong aren’t being given enough respect by the media.  The week one winners have only played one game in nearly four weeks so Tiges no certainties.  

    But we’ll see...!

    Downright disgusting how much of a free ride Collingwood have gotten this final series. A total joke. They should never have been top 4 in the first place if not for a totally pointless upset by Hawthorn in the final round that achieved nothing. Handed a double chance and a golden ticket straight to the Grand Final as a result of the Giants' poor luck.

    I hope GWS just come out and massacre them physically. They have nothing to lose, might as well make the bastards hurt.

    Giants saying the whole match review/tribunal system is favouring Coll. Greene suspension

    The MRO was Michael Christianson, a Collingwood premiership player and Shane Wakelin, Collingwood player on Tuesday night's Tribunal.

    If it was a Melbourne player I would be also be arguing the system is rigged.  The AFL should never have allowed that much potential bias in favour of Coll, GWS opps in the Prelim.  Poor 'optics' to say the least.

    And, fails 'the pub test'!

    The AFL's moral compass is completely askew.

    They should never have allowed Wakelin to sit on the tribunal after hanging around the C'wood room with his scarf. He should have been removed from the panel at that point.

    But a long time ago, they should have told him upfront, part of being on the tribunal panel is that you may not be seen wearing any club's colours or hanging around any club's facilities.

    They don't seem to understand any of this. They seem to grapple (unsuccessfully) with why this might be an issue at all. Any why should anyone worry, when there are record crowds!!!

    When it comes to refereeing and officiating, they don't have any course charted. They don't know where they're going or why. They just drift with the currents and only react when rocks hove into view.

    End of the day: the only optics they care about are the TV screens, ie big audiences looking at big crowds.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
