I want the dogs to win, as I know we can beat them and they are down on form.

And

I HATE the bombers!!!!

If we lose a final, that will be bad enough, but if we lost to the Bombers, I would be so so so so shattered and angry!

Agreed Yokozuna, definitely hoping for a Bulldogs win on the weekend.🤞🤞 But if by chance the bombers happen to unexpectedly  win a couple of finals, I would gladly welcome the chance and opportunity for the Melbourne Football Club to completely bastardise essendon during a preliminary final. Young and inexperienced team gets on a roll and wins a couple of finals, then gets rogered by the eventual premier on the penultimate day. Where have I heard that before🤔🤔🤔

    I reckon Geelong would be internally seething at losing to us. They have many old players that need a rest and Duncan and Touey that are due back soonish. The pre finals bye would have been huge for them. That’s gone and now they have only a six day break and play away to Port.

    we are younger and in form. Port and Lions in form also so things are turning against the Cats. Cats are also 1-7 in their last 8 week one finals games. 

    once they are gone, I will really start to believe we can do it

    Nah. Both games are in Launceston (3 hour drive each way from my place), I’m busy on Saturday and don’t want to spend my only weekend day in the car. Would have gone if it was in Hobart though.

    Bombers have a pretty solid following in Tassie so that was expected. I’m pleasantly surprised the Sydney GWS game sold out so quickly too though.

    The real question is would you make that trip for the Demons? 😜

    The similarities between Melbourne of 2004 and the Dogs of 2021 are quite amazing.

    Both sides were on top of the ladder late in the season.

    Both sides fell off the cliff losing their last 3-4 games.

    Both sides finished 5th and played/will play Essendon in their respective years.

    Will Essendon end their finals wins drought, which ironically commenced the year after they beat the 2004 Melbourne side.

    Huge in for Geelong, assuming he's match fit enough. 

    Tuohy would've been really handy for them as well.

    I give the Cats a white hot chance on Friday night as they'll be stinging from last weekend. Then I can see them making the GF without much fuss.

    I think all games are hard to predict. Can throw a coin in the air about geelong and port. Probably Essenscum over dogs                          ( unfortunately ). I think gws over sydney. Swans have goodplayers like millls and Kennedy injured.

    Can't see Geelong making the GF.

    They have a few players who have recently come back from injury: Rohan, Cameron, Duncan, Miers and Atkins.  Dangerfield was ill  for part of the last qtr (or maybe rested?) and Selwood played only 64% of the game (carrying an injury?).  So they aren't at great levels of fitness.

    After the Port game the rest of their finals will be on the wide open spaces of Optus.  A challenge as they have played 4 of their last 5 games at the much smaller GMHBA. 

    Just can't see them winning at Optus. 

    Out in straight sets, I hope?  And Scott's legendary finals records of losses continues.

    Ha, just saw this. 

    No wins from 4th in 26 years is remarkable.

    Port seem a lot more dangerous with Fantasia in over Georgiades (injured). Our small forwards did well against Geelong.

    I have no idea who to support tonight or put more accurately, who to barrack against. I have a greater dislike of Geelong but that doesnt always translate to who you end up barracking for game night...if that makes sense?

  • Quote

    Man I sick of seeing Geelong in finals - 15 bloody years.  I hope Danger never wins a flag and I hope Selwood doesn't win one as captain and I hope Scott doesnt win his first real flag (the canteen lady could have coached them in 2011).

    Glad I'm not being too emotional or childish about this. 

    In summary, I don't like the Cats

    Reading between the lines I'm guessing you are no fan of the Cats - don't really say I blame you Chris Scott is a bit hard to warm to

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
