    With all due respect, the last thing those guys need to get them pumped is to review the 2018 PF thrashing by a team not in this year's fins race. There are far better was to get them ready. Watching Rocky IV would be better

    Jeez, watching Scott's presser, he's such a poor loser and an ungracious winner. 

    Hope we smash them

    Ump No 1 was relentless in awarding frees to Geelong. God help us if he plays for them again next week

    i think i have them all on cd still tho!

    pj, soundgarden, and nirvana the only three i still regularly listen to (admittedly via streaming)

    You must be a fan of Temple of the Dog in that case? Hunger Strike, what an absolute gem.

    yeah, for sure, all the music i grew up listening to in the early 90s - plus all the great local bands to go see on the regular too

    100% for sure. Great times. Was the same in Bris. Slamming every Thursday and Friday night to the best music. All of those bands just took music to a whole new level. I'm not sure they've been mentioned yet, still catching up with the thread, but I was a massive Faith No More fan as well. Saw them at Festival Hall and was just speechless in awe until the rumbos kicked in

    However, the clash with the Giants failed to live up to the intensity expected of finals football and AFL pundits believe the Cats will struggle to challenge the Demons.

    “I don’t think Melbourne are quaking in their boots right now based on what they’ve seen,” St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt told Fox Footy.

    Never seen Tool, timing was always out. I'd probably list them as my all time favourites. Maynard's a legend, A Perfect Circle is magic as well, and other things he's been into, Puscifer etc. Passenger, a song he did with Deftones. Wow.

    You and me both. It’s the field I work in. Or as many of us now put it, worked in.

    Dogs and cats are the 2 most 'looked after' teams in the comp. Cats going through to last 4 is dangerous. If dogs go through as well anything could happen.

    True. This is the very reason why May came to us so he’ll be pumped, Lever missed our run in 2018 due to ACL so he’ll be up for it. As for Bayley, he’s in the best form of his career so that doesn’t hurt.

    But the engine room is where it will be won and lost.

    Are you serious?

    There's no meaningful difference between 13 days and 15 days off. They're obviously going to give Geelong and the Dogs/Lions winner 7 days each rather than give Geelong 8 days but Dogs/Lions 6 days.

    And Port gets the "lower ranked" finals team in the prelim because they already had to beat the higher ranked finals team in their QF.

    Are you seriously complaining about this?

    For god's sake TU it's an observation. Not everything on DL has to be taken as a complaint, seriously.

    I thought Meredith was far worse , number 21, in giving the Cats about 5 pathetic frees right in front and then ignoring obvious Giants ones. Razor was the bets of them by a mile. I would be happy with Razor next week and hopefully Stevic.

    The reported crowd last night was just over 44k.

    Certainly didn't look like that many but if there were I'm impressed by the Perth public's support

    Kudos to Lachie Whitfield who I thought played a great game.

    We should get a full house next week. Optus is a fantastic stadium and a pleasure to attend games there. Still no MCG but light years ahead of Docklands for spectator ambience.

    If the doggies make it to Perth they'll have travelled more than any other grand finalist. Melbourne to Tassie to Brisbane to Adelaide. It's too much.

    Not sure who wins tonight. Either way their journey will end next weekend in Adelaide I reckon.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
