    Neither port nor brisbane deserve to be in the final. Both had home advantage and couldn’t get the job done.

    Agreed...I’m pretty sure that Brisbane  played outside Qld twice & had a very healthy list & ditto Port who spent most of their time in Adelaide with 2 home finals & a full list to pick from. Both teams will never have this advantage again & yet neither are playing in a GF. We on the other hand travelled all over Aust & played at the most stadiums. Hopefully this will hold us in good stead next season. Go Cats (not sure I mean that but anything better than Richmond)

    I think the Lions bottom eight players are even worse than ours! And that's saying something.

    Stefan Martin should hang up the boots with Mitch Robinson, Zorko and Birchall.

    will be going for the tiggas next week; not a fan of the cats

    i reckon the bigger story is what will happen if cats subsequently get cameron as a free agent

    richmond win premiership; get lynch...cats win premiership; get cameron?

    free agency undermines the competition

    I’ve cracked the Channel 7 commentary formula...

    ‘Recognised player x almost does something spectacular, but ultimately fails to impact the contest. Commentators talk back and forth about what was almost done, and completely ignore the action of what’s happening. Wait for the next stoppage to rejoin the action. Immediately comment on what a good job umpire (insert umpires full name) is doing. Wait until a player breaks free of the contest and immediately call their kick either a ‘chiseler’ or a ‘squeezy one’. Rinse and repeat.’

    How’d I go? Do I get the job?

    When can you start?

    The Lions ruckmen have sh-t for brains. At every throw in they are behind the Cats ruckman, who is  getting the tap or grabbing the ball every time. The commentators have finally twigged to it. Dumbest football you could see. Hawkins in front, in the forward line throw ins,  has got the ball every time. 

    That oscar boy is a horrible player

    At least you guys have stopped complaining about the umpiring. 5 frees to 1 in the third Q to Geelong. The AFL want the cats in the GF. Blah blah

    Well, they probably realised that the side they were pumping for were effing useless and they were pushing a lost cause!

    We need gun forwards ... both cats tigers have them include most of the finals teams look at their forwards it’s chalk & cheese

    Thats why relying on tom mcdonald for the first 5 rounds as a sole tall forward was absolutely bizarre and an indictment on just how cooked simon goodwin is

    It was on the cards the moment Richmond lost to Brisbane. If the Tigers had of won, we'd have Bris v StK to face Port. And Geel/WCE/Coll/Rich all in their own filthy group.

    I don't think I'll watch the GF. Bugger it

    Sounds like I am in the minority here, but I’d love Ablett to finish with a flag. He has been an unbelievable player for so long now, still having an impact in big finals after 350+ games.

    Grew up around the time him and his group started in the cats VFL side, have always followed them from afar since.

    Plus, I absolutely do not like Richmond. They are a real smug bunch and their two big forwards would be in my top 5 most disliked players in the comp. 

    Go the Catters

    I'm torn. 

    Although, gaz finishing without a flag is a delicious thought.

    Ablett is a legend no doubt. But I reckon he will look back on his career and Regret going to the Gold Coast for a lot of his prime. If he stayed at the cats I reckon he could have 4 flags and be shooting for his 5th. And still be a millionaire 

    bizarre decision. And in my opinion will stop him being considered as the greatest ever

    i really liked the Cats team of 2007 with guys like Bartel Enright and Chappy etc. now they are a team of arrogant posers

    I'd be on board with a cats win - Ablett certainly has been something special, but I wouldn't mind Dangerfield pinging a hammy in training - I'm not sure I could handle a premiership medallion around that neck.

    Not really, he has been good this year. He played poorly yesterday but was well ahead of Martin who is finished IMO.

    I'm with you Steve but there will be a decent measure of misery for the loser.

    Geelong will definitely go in as the undercats.

    This isn’t bragging because I feel for you poor buggers in Vic, but I’m having a dozen mates over for the GF to sink beers and burn some meat over the coals. All served by a special waitress we’ve ordered the services of for the afternoon.

    I think the outcome of this game might be quite irrelevant next Saturday. 
     

    Okay, I’m bragging.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
