We have made 6 preliminary finals since 1964 (1987, 1988, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2018) and we have won 2 (1988 and 2000). Weย are due to clean up our record.

Yep. Prior to the pre-finals bye, the QF winners are 28-4 in prelims.

The four losers are:

  1. Fremantle in 2015 - beaten by the threepeat Hawks
  2. Adelaide in 2006 - beaten by West Coast, who had lost their QF by a point to Sydney during the peak Sydney-West Coast rivalry era
  3. St Kilda in 2005 - beaten by Sydney, who had lost their QF to West Coast by four points during the peak Sydney-West Coast rivalry era
  4. Sydney in 2003 - beaten by the threepeat Brisbane

A bit of a trend there. The only four sides from 2000-2015 to lose the QF but make the Grand Final were either three-peat sides or lost their QF by a tiny margin as part of an amazing rivalry. 2021 Geelong does not fall into either of those buckets.

(Note that all four of these sides went on to win the flag, though...)

Great research that fills me with confidence. Something has to.

But your point that the cats are not close to the quality of the outliers is valid. If anything, the Dees quality and talent is more a match to those earlier chamion teams.

We do have a rivalry with them. Lots of close games

Tbat means we have only lost 4. Geelong have lost many more.

The two we have won are i think are the 2 we made from the top 4. Stand to be corrected but if correct a good omen

So since 1964, 3 of our 7 prelims have been played in Perth!

I don't think Gawn scares Stanley either.

Stanley won't sleep for months. Darryl Cullinan vs Shane Warne type scaringย 

They built a stadium and they need to pay some of it off so it was imperative that they stayed in contention so they money from members would keep rolling in.

They were incredibly greedy by trying to buck the system in topping up year after year.

They are well and truely finished and we were the club that finished them off once and for all and i feel really good about that.

I have a sweet sense of justice for that 2011 game and 10 years on we have wiped the floor with them on a Friday night in a Prelim, it feels sensational.

Now they will reap what the have sowed.

Suffer in peace.

Someone do the rounds tomorrow please (later today). Not to enjoy it.

No, not to enjoy it, to ensure that they know that this is the end.ย

Couldn't be bothered trawling 24 bf pages.ย  A small sample from the first few pagers:

The gracious:ย ย 

beaten by a younger, harder, more skilful and simply better team - happy for the demons, and im looking forward to watching them in the GF....theyve made it there the hard way, and all the best to all their supporters on here...great to see from a team that has gone through everything they have. i hope they have one more in them.

Well played Melbourne. Sensational performance. I hope they go all the way.

The good:ย 

Boy o boy what a game that was!...for Melbourne

Nobody cares about the "making finals" window.ย ย Play horrid joyless football all season to finish high enough to get flogged in finals. What a ride.

The bad:

Everything was in their favourโ€ฆskills, midfield, lucky bounces and ricochets, umpiring. Every time they slipped over they got a free kick, but umpires ultimately irrelevant after half time.

The Ugly:

In response to the first listed 'gracious'ย  item above:ย ย 

By the hard way I assume you mean being so sh*t they get gifted half a team worth of very, very talented players.

The Melbourne love from the media is giving me the [censored] .ย ย Go port or doggies .ย ย [censored] gary Lyon and the rest of the flogs .

The Funny:ย 

I think we should trade Narkle, Clark and Constable and load up with Burgoyne, Mumford and Mundy. Surely we can reach another Prelim in 2022?

Scott has the Ross Lyons about him. Good coach highly credentialled, just cannot get the big one. I've always thought it's over coaching

Gotta give it to the Dees - Viney is a sh*t stain and Fritzel has a very punchable head, but other than that they're a very watchable side. Class everywhere.

Time to step down, Scotty. You failed.

The best thing about Geelong making the 4 is you get to see them lose a final twice.

Thanks @Sir Why You Little, that one was doing the rounds last night and before I read this thread I'd posted it in another thread; wasn't trying to steal your thunder.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

    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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
