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

doesn't he??!?

cracking first half of footy

 

Watching last night and tonight... we’re a mile off competing.

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.

Agreed!

 

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.

Yeah, I know, but you know what I mean.  


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. 
 

No Lynch

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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
