I suggest a lifetime ban for anyone who chooses Geelong as their preferred winner.

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.

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

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."

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
