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?

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 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
