Too small bodied and slow....

Are we really too small bodied between Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney and Gawn?

We might not have won today but we would not have done this.


We certainly need more active small forwards and flankers. Close, Guthrie and Stengle look incredible at ground level. They are always at the right spot and clean 

If i was a Swans fan i would have left 15 mins ago.

Absolute stinker of a grand final day. Hollow in every way and an atrocious game of football on display.

 

AFL website is laughable. Homepage has no link or clickable icon to the match centre of the only live game on. Oh it's just the GRAND FINAL!

Say what you like about the coaches, the players, the game plan, the fitness, we never lost a one-sided match like this - including against both these teams.


Played their GF's before today against us and colliwobbles

On another note, why do all the Primo ads show people not eating their hotdogs or produce….? Lots of groaning, but no ingestion

Really you would have stayed that long.

This has been an embarrassing effort from the Swans. They’ll be mentally scarred from this belting on the big stage. Clubs who get belted in a grand final rarely ever make it back. Plenty of young talent there, but they’ll be mentally shot now.

Do you remember us losing to the swans A couple of weeks ago ? 

This is good in that I’ll have a great sledge for those smug Swans fans (oh the bloods the bloods) - give me strength. A good knock back for their supporters who think their players have more heart than others.*
 

(* I also hate Geelong though)

One thing that Geelong have done brilliantly is that they shift their zone across and setup beautifully down the line, but that is only useful if you block the kick into the corridor and restrict the switch. They have given teams no switch outlet and have defended the corridor. 

I think we got too cute with our defesive structure this year. I heard some players, when questioned about why we let teams switch and just walk the ball up to center wing, say that 'there are times when you want teams to switch'. I guess the coaches know best, but it just didn't look like allowing teams to advance so easily to the halfway mark was going to work for us. Really opened us up to the ball getting brought back into the corridor too.


Watch Rohan the dud kick a couple in junk time to be hailed as a JEELONG GREAT🤮

Worst GF since ‘88 The Swans should be ashamed of themselves today. 
 

Franklin seriously should retire 

My Hate for Jeelong will flourish 

 

Swans lost to Port and Essendon in the back half of the year 2 powder puff sides.

Our club is to blame for this years GF debacle. 

I hate it.

I hate it that this team deserves this.

I hate you Isaac Smith. I hate you Joel Selwood. I hate you Patrick Dangerfield. I hate you Tom Hawkins.

But more than anything, I hate it that you deserve this.

  • PREVIEW: 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.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    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.
