This is not Melbourne. If they lose this from here it would be the worst choke in the history of the game. 

I would have thought the Pies choke in 1970 grand final - where they were 7 goals down at half time (I think) against Carlton - would be worse. Let’s hope history repeats.

    Reid should never have played, especially when they had other talls like McDonald and Amarty fit and ready. Swans weren’t strong enough in the air to cover him if he struggled.

    So 1970 and 44 point adrift when Barassi said Handball Handball Handball. But they were playing the Pies so it was a lot easier.

    It was a pretty bloody important game!

    True. But Sydney don’t have it in them. 
    I hope I am wrong because nothing would please me more than a Geelong choke honestly.

    It’s interesting to see sides fall away from one game to the next.

    - Reid has been huge lately, massive loss

    - Swans pressure being nullified by Geelong accurate kicking and dominance in the air

    - Heeney hardly sighted, having a mare

    Buddy Buddy Buddy. The most over rated footballer over the past 2 seasons. There I’ve said it.

    Jeelong haven’t given the Swans any space to move. That has created the Dominance

    Lucky he signed that contract last week. On the plus said Sydney has been so bad there is only one way they can go.

    Clearly blew 99% of the entertainment budget on Robbie

    Might have something to do with our game plan vs the frenetic attack at all costs stuff Geelong dished up to them in the first quarter, I suspect. 

    Yes man v man almost everywhere in the first 10 minutes or so Mr Hood.  Think the bigger taller bodies of the Cats plus the all ground pressure unsettled the Sawns.  Especially their younger brigade.  The Swans have a few more sub 50 gamers (effectively rookies) than most finalists i believe.

    Yep, that temper trap song wasn’t the best. 

    It’s a great song. It was just brutally murdered in cold blood.

    There is more talent on Robbie's left buttock than pretty much that entire bunch other than the drummer (not bad!)

    Yeah agree with WCW it is a good song that was just a meatloaf type performance sadly.

    The half time entertainment started as poorly as the Swans.

    Pathetic would be overly generous

    So, even after feeling OK having had at least made the semi-finals, and the Swans being in the GF, it now looks as though I have to endure the Cats winning.  There is not enough Shiraz in the whole of Victoria to make that thought palatable. For the love of all things sacred, please no...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
