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.

    One match suspension upheld, sucked in Flogkins.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
