Two things I don't want to see at the Grand Final,

Umpire intervention.

Hannan playing 2 good games in a row for the first time in his career.

 

Which channel?

Felt a bit crook yesterday. The doctor told me one of the thing I need to do is cut down on stress. Now that’s an impossibility 

Tell him he/she is dreaming!

Certainly a bump in stress as we passed the half way point of this ‘bye’. I don’t even want to work this week now!

Sorry, ABC radio - i'm listening on AFL extra, one of their digital channels.

But i assume it is one the normal radio 


Spoiler alert we won the 1964 GF. 

Froggy Crompton not only kicked the winning goal (wit the commentator saying how remarkable it was for a back pocket), he also took a saving mark deep in defence only a minute or before the final siren

Hassa Mann now being interviewed.

Saying our inaccuracy almost cost us.

The more things change....

Week long forecast showing next Saturday in the mid 20’s and barely a puff of wind. 
 

Ideal weather. 😎

I have this peculiar end of year sadness that in one more game this wonderful season will be over! 

Hopefully replays of next week will get me through

Whatever the result next Saturday, this football team we support has brought me more joy this year than any other year that I have supported them, including’64. The players , coaches and support staff have my greatest admiration and thanks for what they have achieved to date, for themselves, the Club and for us loyal supporters. That sentiment will not be diminished if the worst were to happen on Saturday night. I would also like to state that while I’d love to be able to see it live in person, that fact that I can’t will not diminish the shear joy and ecstasy I will feel if we win. It’s our time, I believe.


The brownlow feels like the proper start of grand final week.

For the first time starting to feel nervous.

I remember buying these with loose change from the train ticket. 
Is this made of gold paper or something?

Used to be $2 in the mid-2000s I'm sure.

That was expensive for me back then. Can't imagine how young kids from poor families could afford a footy record these days.

Yep it’s insane. 
I’ll buy one because we are in a grand final but that’s two less w@nker coffees for me. Unimpressed.

I'm pretty sure the GF edition has always been more expensive than the H&A season records.

No way, the Grand Final record from the late 80s/early 90s was more than $2.

Just referring to the home and away record. But I’m fully aware that’s apples to oranges. The grand final record is printed on the rarest of gold leafed paper and engraved with pure cold pressed baby octopus ink and must be marked up accordingly.

Look away @Jaded

 

I made the same point on the Brownlow thread, and I’m gonna do it here. It’s fascinating that ‘people’ place any kind of meaning in utterly irrelevant stats like this. I know it’s an MFCSS thing to need to find reasons for failure, a desperate search for some kind of self-fulfilling doomsday narrative, but please, this is just silly. Maybe just find another meaningless stat to balance it out, cos I guarantee there’ll be a squillion of them. 

 

The weather is looking very good for this Saturday in Perth.

25 and sunny with 0% chance of rain.

Same. It is a bit of a blur now.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
