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

    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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
