I want to see us win one first at the G (as opposed to watching lockdown in 2021) and experience it first hand before I start getting magnanimous.

After that, I'd choose GWS or Gold Coast as no one in Melbourne would really know or care it actually happened. A tumble weed went through the CBD on the night of West Coast beating Collingwood in the 2018 GF.

Then I wouldn't mind St Kilda finally jagging one for their supporters.

 

Who will win if not us: Brisbane. Rayner is back. Hipwood and McStay were huge outs in September. Zak Bailey is developing at the rate of knots.They got the Sydney GF 2016 treatment in those last few minutes against the Dogs. Their build has been consistent. Their coach is a grade A operator.

The only thing that will hinder them is if Zorko and Neale prioritize possession numbers over penetration and meters gained. That’s what shanked them against us. Plenty of the pill was gained but little was done with it.

Who I’d like to win: The Saints or Freo. The latter is pretty unlikely but I would like to see Brett Ratten get some form of redemption. Plus, the Saints on the ground would have to be the most unlucky team in AFL history. They’ve been self destructive on a scale probably matched by us and Richmond, but the bounce in ‘10 and Scarlett’s toe poke in ‘09 were 2 real sliding doors moments in the space of two years.

With the season just around the corner I thought this topic might be an interesting discussion point. Of course all of our desires would be to see us go back to back and hold up that cup for the 14th time at the rightful heartland of our great club and game. Having said that, I am interested to see where peoples thoughts are should we not be featured in the Grand Final.

 

I personally think Brisbane will be the one most likely (watch them fall off a cliff this year now), while I have a soft spot for St Kilda due to many of mates being long suffering supporters, something we can all relate to, and would prefer them over any other team to win.

Yep, the Sainters are due for some good luck, providence and greater success. However, it is difficult to imagine the Saints improving adequately in one season (almost) to play off - and win - a Grand Final. I feel strongly that the Dees will do it again in  '22, possibly in a GF against Brisbane. The horizon for the coming season is broad, scattered, lean in terms of depths of talent in general amongst 'other' sides and stewing in an atmosphere of cloudless, untold sky. The Dees, in comparison, represent that great, tall and enduring mountain ash in that distance between the Premiership of '21 and that of the '22 season.

1. Geelong 

2. Sydney 

I’ll be barracking for the Swans.

Geelong are always my least favourite team because they get such an arm chair ride to the finals, and every year I pray for them to finally fall off the cliff.

Collingwood. No. Obviously.

Brisbane have some players and a coach I like, but they are offset by Zorko and his pathetic attempts to manage his reputation after he clearly did the wrong thing. 

Go Swannies.


Anyone but Collingwood. The media [censored] is totally out of control. You would think nobody has ever won from outside the top 8 before.

 

Far out, only Swans and I say it with pain inside me.

Collingwood would make me spew, ditto Geelong.

Brisbane I didn't hate them before but with all the Zorko situation and the eye gouging they can get stuffed.

 

 


Would prefer to see Swans win it...

..then Brisbane 

Geelong but Danger gets injured in Prelim and can't play, Scott gets COVID & can't coach.

Collingwood but Howe misses due to injury.

Sorry for the bit of mean spirit but I couldn't take Howe or Danger holding up the cup.

I’m pretty sure nobody has ever won (the GF) outside the top 8 before! 😉- … but I do like your sentiments about the Ferals.

One day, only trivia buffs will remember that a team that finished outside the eight did play finals, although not the GF.

Swans and Brissy.  The filth and Geelong can get stuffed.


If you think Jack Ginnivan is already unbearable imagine him with a premiership medallion around his neck. 
 

Our only kernel of comfort being the likelihood that some of their team would o.d. in the post match celebrations. 

Lions ------------- Hate them but their better than the Swans

Swans ------------Hate them but their better than the Pies

Pies  --------------Hate them but their better than the Cats

Cats --------------Hate them but the  AFL won't call off the season.

Sad sacks

Pies vs Swans should be a little better than excellent and outside of Melbourne will moderate the fan noise.

BT is my biggest fear.

The winner against the Cats is the inevitable favourite I reckon and  if it's the Pies they won't die wondering.

Anyone who actually enjoys elite sport would enjoy them winning that game.

It would be like watching Gabelich running down to goal past the Northern Stand in fast forward and the Dee's not being in danger of defeat

They don't call us Demons for nothing . . . all four options are hell in my book.

There’s a reason for that QD… Scrolling through Demonland while at a Parent/Teacher isn’t a good look. 😁

I’m the parent, and my son is the moody teenage boy who would rather stick knitting needles in his own eyeballs than be seen in public with me. Apparently I’m embarrassing. 🙄

May of us have been through that - very difficult. Send him to the SCG this weekend with the knitting needles.

  • 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.

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
