Should be an option for nil all draw or COVID cancellation (kidding --- sort of). 

Pains me to say but I think the Cats will roll the Tigers. I can't pin my finger on it but the Tiges haven't shown the same hunger this year. Cats just keep keeping on. I'll turn the telly off at the siren as I refuse to watch Scott's smug face hold up the cup. 

First Goal? Mitch Duncan for some value for money at $34. 

Norm Smith? If the little Master even has a sniff of a decent game and the cats win he is a shoe in. Paying $21 too. Lock it in Eddie.

    Don't really care but I'm hoping Brisbane wins

    I was pinning all my hopes on them as they were the least offensive options of the Prelims.

    You get the feeling the Cats have their name on it this year.  easily accounting for teams recently and in great form.

    its one last push from the old brigade selwood, Hawk, Taylor, Danger etc.     hopefully they fall off a cliff sometime soon

    couldn't give a rats though. at least its a night game so I'll be so drunk I either won't watch the game or won't remember it

    Don't be surprised if a few cats suspended after the game- Selwood being one of them!

    Hopefully the rain is insane and they lose the ball.

    the sprint race might be the highlight of the day

    as long as not won by cats or tigers

    That being the case dc it suggests the rest of the day will be crap.

    I usually look forward to the Grand Final but this year it is not there. I feel flat about it. The whole year has been a [censored] up.

    Must say I'm quite hoping for lightning and the game is postponed.

    Very 2020

    8 finals appearances and first GF for danger. Terrible record. 

    Part of me wants the Cats to lose as if they win, it would vindicate all the glory hunters that have joined them over the years. When I say part of me, I mean 99.9%

    Much more than a part, I would love nothing more than for them to lose by 100+ points and be utterly humiliated.

    Will be the start of my 6th decade of no flags & watching other supporters celebrate.. hve only experienced gf twice which ended poorly by 1/2 time.......

    I really want to see both of these teams plummet to the depths for a decade or so.  Would have preferred a port/Bris GF rather than these two teams. Whatever happens, the outcome will be insufferable.

    Highlight of the footy calendar. 

    No. It’s definitely not.  It’s another sad day and year that we count to say it’s 56 years since we won a flag. Now the longest drought of the AFL clubs.  We see others celebrate and this year, have two clubs with multiple recent premierships. It sucks !!!!! 

    Surely the Demons (and Saints) supporters  deserve the chance to experience Premiership glory.  
     

    One thing to always take from the grand final is the players that succeed in grand finals.  They are not soft, light footballers.  It’s the blokes who love the game. They lift.
     

    There’s no rebuild garbage left.  It’s now. It’s 2021. It’s no excuses. It’s running through brick walls.  Bring 100% intensity or get out.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
