    Can someone please tell Bruce to shut up!! He doesn’t have to repeat everything twice or keep asking rhetorical questions. 

    doesn't he??!?

    I’ve loved watching both teams at stoppages, the amount of blocking they do to support/release their teammate is fantastic.

    Just shows how easy we could make it for ourselves with Max and our Mids with some quality coaching.

    Great 1st half. Would not write off Richmond yet. Maturity of the lions will be on show in this half. These 2 make port and geelong look ordinary.

    Collingwood won't go out in straight sets.  They'll only play (lose) one match.

    On the subject of Bruce - what the [censored] is a "hat trick" doing in the lexicon of our game?

    @Rab D Nesbitt?

    @Skuit?

    @Wobbly Bob?

    Gents, doyens, pedants,  is it appropriate language?

    A dusty martin turnover! That never happens in finals time.

    Well done Lions. Have applied enough pressure to allow the game to be decided on talent...and they have plenty.

    Tigers have won a lot of games by pressuring more than their opponents...the Lions wore it and look the better team on pure talent.

    Will take a huge effort from Richmond to win from here. 
    they can’t take a mark up forward tonight.

    Gee Brisbane missed 2 easy shots in the final minutes. Hope they hold on. 

    But it is good seeing the lions fans back at the gabba making lots of noise.

    Lions just left the door ajar at the end of that Q, should have put at least one of those opportunities away.

    Hope it down't come back to bite them on the a...

    Don't ask me EO. As soon as I discovered Brayshaw was commentating I turned the sound off on the macpro I'm intermittently watching it on. If somebody has scored one though they usually get to keep the match ball once the game has finished. Don't know if that'll catch on in the AFL however. Maybe CH7 could get BT or some other donut to present it in the rooms after a game.

    Lions seriously at risk of throwing this away with 4 behinds in a row.

    How depressing to think us and Brisbane were both bottom feeders not long ago... look at them and look at us. Good coaching is just so important.

    10.9.69 to 8.6.54

    Horribly irrelevant fact but that was the exact score that we beat Hawthorn in June 1989 out at Princes Park. Massive win by the boys at the time.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
