Why do it on the river? Horrible decision.

Also, Papley posting that on his social media just shows you what a prat he is.

I always liked Sydney tbh, never really hated them. I just want to see Scotts face if Geelong lose lol

The outrage of Scott after a loss - and such an important game, at that - is what I am patiently waiting for as an end-of-season pick-me-up. 

 

The filth need to get over it. Been a long time since I've heard whinging last this long. It wasn't even a clear push, no-one can prove the amounting force used. No hands in the back rules anymore either. We mostly just think it was a push because it looked bad from our position watching from a million miles away. LET IT GO.

I hope someone punches him in the face.

I hope he kicks 5 and receives that gesture 

 

Would prefer to see Syd win but realistically given them no chance. Reckon Geelong by 10+ goals.

Geelong are a class above everyone else this year, and I think the Swans are the last standing of a pretty ordinary cast of contenders this year.

Paddy McCartin, 5 years at the saints and 8 concussions, out of the game, career finished. 
I want the swans to win for him. (And cos I really loathe Geelong and their self satisfied, smug coach)

How come they didn’t ask Wayne Carey?

Maybe he was busy crushing up his Neurofen and sorting it into small ziplock bags?

Having a couple beers & watching the 2021 GF at the moment... Savouring the last hours as reigning premiers!

Just did the same. It will make me happy forever. We just want more of that feeling.

Tend to agree with your large margin.

8 of the last 12 grand finals have resulted in that comfortable 5 plus goal margin as the winning team gets on wave of momentum and the loser loses the will to remain in the game.

There is that sense of destiny and inevitability about Geelong this year, while I was very unimpressed with Sydney’s second half last week. They played to not lose the game rather than winning it. That won’t cut it today. 


No doubt that Geelong and Scott are terrific operators, kudos to them. Now, with that out of the way, I detest the armchair ride that club get from the AFL and hope that the headrest catches on fire about 4/5 into the GF and the whole thing falls off the tracks. 

I’d be more relieved than happy if Sydney won.

The guy who got my ticket for the grand final is staying over to watch it with me. There was one positive light to it being interstate or we’d never have met.

We spent last night watching the 2021 grand final and he told me all about the experience of being there *sigh*

My dreaded incontinence has returned.

Cannot stand seeing all the home-town fanfare, joyous people in awfully mismatched colours, all descending on our own dancefloor. May the heavens open up today again & add a Dan Andrews-type misery to it all.   

Game day.  Last year i was confident but nervous.  Stuck in lockdown and couldn’t go.

this year its Geelong and Sydney.  I dislike Geelong, but admire what they have done this year in taking the [censored] gameplan and improving it (we did nothing of the sort).  I hope they lose.

Both Sydney and Geelong get armchair rides from the AFL in different ways. 

We were not good enough this year, but until about 5:30, we are still reigning premiers.  After that, I hope we win the off season…

Swans by 11 points (“Luke {Parker}, you are my only hope”!)

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
