i think jeelong should rightly be the favourites

i think the swans can make a close game of it

i don't really much care who wins, but if pushed, i'd prefer a swans win 

i just hope it's a close game to watch

    The music is gone. 

     

    So much better to hear the crowd after goals. Having loud music then just ruins the atmosphere, blunts the emotional ebb and flow of the crowd sounds in the game.

    Now that the AFL have seen the light will they also logically cut the music in the lead up to the first bounce? Music is also ruining that period of crowd cheers...

    I don't believe Sydney can win if Sam Reid doesn't play, crucial to their structure.

    Interesting if they go for Amarty or McLean as subs - that means they may play and underdone Reid and hope.

    Ugh it just sucks. This time last year it was all about us, I just keep thinking if we got there Saturday how great it would have been being in Melbourne.

    So we have the GF back at the G for the first time in three years but no free-to-air coverage of the GF parade.  Well done Gil!

    Sydney beat the filth by a point in the prelim so it would be fitting that they beat the moggies by a point as well. The 2 most hated teams done by a point in the finals. Nice.

    I feel very conflicted towards this grand final

    In the not too recent past I always watched the granny with mates or family, had the BBQ going, beers flowing. We were never too close to making it so didn't feel any sense of resentment towards the teams playing. I was able to watch neutrally 

    Not the case this year. I know we were good enough to be there. I kinda begrudge both these teams. I don't think i can watch and enjoy as a neutral. Not this year

    Pretty well sums up how most are feeling. The post Queens Birthday season has been abysmal from an MFC viewpoint.

    With the Storm exiting from the NRL finals so early there's not even any interest there

    Grand Final day is always treated as special by me, no matter who is playing. It happens to be the anniversary of the day I first met my future wife. So definitely not feeling conflicted.

    Sounds like the river parade could have been better organised

    "Thousands of footy fans have lined the Yarra River to watch the players pass on boats for this year’s grand final parade, but many have been left disappointed by a decision to turn the flotilla around before it reached a key vantage point.

    Fans who gathered on the Princes Bridge on Friday for an up-close view of Geelong and Sydney players on the river have been left frustrated that the boats were turned around well before reaching the bridge.

    Spectators had packed the bridge up to five people deep only to watch as the pontoons turned around earlier than they expected."

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
