Had a listen to SEN this morning, they played a bit of Fagan's media conference from yesterday. When asked about Neale and possibly Harmes tagging him I'm sure I heard he said we used questionable tactics to nullify Neale last time we played them. He then mentioned it's up to the umps to watch that sort of stuff. Just what the ump lovers on this forum wanted to hear.

Go Dees!!!

 

As long as they give Oliver and Gawn the same consideration.

    Pretty sure he was sooking not long ago about the GC tactics against his forward line which was analysed with behind the goal visions where there was absolutely nothing to be seen. 
    The guy knows if we play anywhere near our best we are a 5 goal better side at any ground.

    Did he add what they and other teams do to Oliver...

    He has played that 'poor Neale' card a few times now this year.  Probably trying to get the umps on side.  He should show more public belief in his team rather than sook.

    Wonder what he would say about Oliver if he was a Lion.

    He is in a wresting match nearly every contest to get free to go after the ball and rarely free kicked.

    Listening to it my initial thought was Fagan is trying to manufacture some kind of 'edge' last minute. If our tactics were dodgy back in round 15 he had plenty of time to complain to the umpiring department.

    If anyone wants a ticket in Bay 222 let me know and I will send to you by SMS.

    Would be our biggest H & A win for a long time if we can pull this off.

    Similar to the games in 1998 against Sydney and Richmond.

    So much 'redemption' and impetus on road to the Premiership, in that after the siren win.

    Flew into Coolangatta last night, 25 degree day up here. Now, looking out at the sun nudging above the horizon on the Coral Sea at Currumbin 15 storeys up. About to go for a run around Burleigh Heads headland and then a dip. Geez I'm glad to be out of the miserable sodding Victorian weather.

    Way to rub it in mate, jeez! 🤣

    It's a beautiful sunny day in Melbourne today, not a cloud in the sky and sub 10 degrees 🥶

    Agree ... that win = 2021 premiership

    Win tonight = 2022 premiership

    Interested in some DL opinions on what reasons Brisbane are so much better at the Gabba than anywhere else?

    Geelong you can attribute to the dimensions of the ground, but the Gabba is similar in size to the 'G, where the Lions' recent record is terrible.

    For this year it is because they have played weaker teams.

    Haven't looked at prior years.

    Exactly, a loss will be considered a choke of the highest order. We are the reigning premier coming up against a team we’ve had little trouble disposing off in the past. Top 2 is still achievable.

    My theory? 

    Day games are often much more hot and humid than opponent are used to - the lions train in such conditions so that probably gives them some advantage.

    And night games are often slippery with the dew and humidity, and again opponent are not used to those sort of conditions.

    As much as it is frustrating to see the attention  that the likes of Oliver and Gawn has received all year it makes me feel proud that Goody never seems to play the ‘woe is me card’ in the public media to try and get the umpires on side.

    We'll win comfortably tonight. Not a belting like last time, but 4-5 goals. We've got the wood on Brisbane, and as much as the media want to make out we're in poor form, Brisbane are in the same boat and have stumbled over the line at home against weaker opposition.

    We also travel incredible well and will be on the road again first week of final to play Swans at the SCG. Get it done Dees!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
