I'm torn. 

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

Carn tiges 

Gaz already has a premiership medallion ... possibly 2.

Choosing between Richmond and Jee-long is like deciding between cholera and typhoid. I don't know whether I'll even bother watching. (If so, it would be the first time since 1968.)

Brisbane didn't choke. Just not good enough. They played their GF 2 weeks ago.

    Each to their own, but I'm thrilled to be seeing two Victorian teams in the GF. State needs a boost. At least this way it's guaranteed that one large group of supporters will be happy.

    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

     

     

    Bugger Ablett, he has two flags. And if he gets another one, that means Dangeflog is getting one. No one wants that.

    If I see that stupid smirk on his face plastered all over the place if the Cats win I will want to go and live in a snow cave in the Antarctica with the penguins.?

    [censored] or not, I’d rather a genuine champion of the game (Brownlow medalist, MVP, players association leader etc) cap off his resume with a premiership than some plodder like Jason Castagna win a third one.

    Point taken. We can only hope there are a few mishaps in training before Grand Final Day. I feel for great players who don't have any. RIP Robbie etc.

    This is the truth, Richmond would have so many ordinary triple premiership players

    There is plodders in every premiership team.

    Richmond and Geelong would be the 2 most experienced teams I am thinking? Big advantage in a season like this.

    I couldn’t stand the thought of Geelong winning yet another flag, and their supporters in regional Victoria getting to enjoy the win while us metro Melbourne naughty kids sit at home alone.

    Who wants Cotchin and Riewoldt to have 3 flags?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
