The only good part of us being out is that we deny Geelong gloating over a revenge PF mauling.

    Half way though Friday nights game I thought we were going to win but I realised we would not beat Geelong. They looked tired, injured,

    Swans to bring Pies down to earth!

    Cats to tame the Lions.

    I just hope that the swans will chew up the filth and spit them into the gully trap they belong in. Hope lions win as well but it hard to imagine it will.

    If the Pies held on against Geelong last week, I honestly think they’d be in the box seat to win the 2022 flag.

    They would’ve faced and beaten Brisbane in a prelim and gone into a grand final with absolute sky high confidence.

    As it turns out, they’ll be playing in front of a pro Sydney crowd at a venue that probably doesn’t suit them as much as the MCG.

    Geelong 16.7.103 - Brisbane 9.9.63

    Sydney 11.13.79 Collingwood 9.12.66

    Looks like the airlines have jacked up the cost of tickets to Sydney.2022-finals-ticket-prices-for-swans-vs-collingwood-magpies-melbourne-to-sydney-airfare

    I wouldn't be too impressed with this:  "The SCG holds 48,000 fans, so only 28,0000 tickets are available for club members. The 50-50 split means Collingwood members have been allocated 14,000 tickets, but that could increase should Swans members not take up their entire portion".

    100,000 fans trying to get 14,000 tickets!

    I thought the PF had become the Final for club members.  Bit ordinary that 20,000 tickets have been reserved for corporates, sponsors etc.  I suspect that is more than is held back for the GF.

    It’s really hard to care. I wish nothing but pain and misery to all 4 sides remaining

    An embarrassing night tonight for the Melbourne Football Club - this contest will be akin to the 2019 GF or maybe even... the 2020 prelim💡 A ridiculous one sided spectacle that will only do nothing more than highlight our poor 2nd half of the season and the 'what could have beens' of an epic prelim clash between a defending premier with the highest ceiling, and the best team of the current season.

    Of course I'll watch, and I'll hope the Lions win - but it will be with very little fanfare and it will be akin to watching NM try and beat WCE in an away prelim in 2015 - ie a lost cause that will barely last a quarter or two - a story that we all know the ending to, even if it is close for 3 or 4 quarters - one team will always have the other at arms length, ready to flick that switch and win easily by a few goals.

    And even if the Lions were to get up in a Hail-Mary-Cats-Choke of epic proportions, it will do nothing but fuel even more Coodabeen Champion fantasies on DL

    Absolute Lose/lose situation. 

    I hope this prelim stings the players.

    What does it matter if they [censored] the bed tonight. As long as they beat the Magpies tomorrow night.

    Use to travel down to the Aust Open and watch Hewitt loss in a tough five setter,  only to see the player that won go on and win the title. Would rather see The Lions or The Swan take the title now but know I feel the same way after. Should have been us.

    A prelim loss for Geelong would make my Friday night guzzle all the more enjoyable.

    Would almost feel like a win. 

    And to see Howe out tomorrow night would just be icing.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
