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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
