What should the AFL have done, willmoy?

It was a Preliminary Final that turned out one-sided.  So did last year's involving Geelong.  It happens.

Ok but riddle me this: A lot of people think we underperformed this season. So how can we, a team that made top 4 twice in 2 seasons with a flag be more of a faker than a team that has top 4'd 3 out of 4 years with 2 prelim appearances and no flags? It's backwards.

Give Brisbane credit but not too much, brilliant win last week but how do you explain their performance last night? Fagan 3 wins and 6 losses in finals, serial chokers on the big stage. For the talent this side had they stunk up the joint.

Geez The current year,the current opponents  and the current teams are all that is relevant at the seasons end.

The Dee's earned 5th  the 4 that finished above them deserved to do so on current performance.

No riddle it speaks for itself.

You may want to argue that next season may be different. 

Last season was

 

The Filth by 3 to 5 goals unfortunately

Why is the game at the SCG? Surely a prelim should be at a ground with 80k if possible?

Selwood...kicker, pusher and stager.

Hawkins...stager,pusher and sucker

Danger..."general all-round award" winner though good footballer, like Trac though kicking could improve.

All three, instinctively look at umpires as do all wobbles for frees.

Simply pathetic..

 


Howe on Franklin

Smart move perhaps..  Franklin is not the danger player

We fell into the trap of wasting May on Franklin

Now being picked up by Maynard

Edited by Diamond_Jim

!00 point hiding to the Pies or a one point confessional free not paid to Ginnivan type loss. which would I rather see, 


Swans looking pretty sharp early

Hodge saying May played a ‘decent’ game on Franklin. Oh, you mean when he got 10 votes from the coaches in a losing side?

Hodge offers nothing.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
