32 touches, 3 goals, 12 marks and 771 metres gained.  It's not a bad day's work, let's be honest.

Fair call.

I noticed the goals, but not so much the other stats.  Didn't really jump out at me amoungst the overall routing which the Swans were given, probably because I lost interest and was only half watching the game.

    No.  At Gate 2 The only turnstile to leave without scanning, which is open around 3/4 time each game, was padlocked closed on Saturday. With security only allowing staff in and out withour scanning.

     

    Are you sure? That would have been a potential fire trap if gates were locked. 

     

    Have never seen it before at the G

    You know what's making me laugh, all the collingwood fans saying we would have out up a better effort and given a closer gf. you gave up the first 4 goals at the start of the prelim, you can't do that.

    If we had fit players and tom in our team we could have probably won. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    It's the easiest thing in the world to say after the fact. They may well have but we'll never know, I personally thought Sydney were the best matchup with high pressure and run and I'm not backing away from that. 

    Collingwood had a great season but I'm not sure anyone could have touched Geelong on Sat. A fit Melb would probably have been the best bet but I could see Collingwood getting smoked the second time round.

    checked it out personally.

    Heavy duty chain and padlock

    Presumably they would simply open all turnstiles to allow exit in an emergency

    Very poor by Sydney to let Hawk get one goal like that, never mind 2.

    Had to laugh at Titus O'Riley's description:

    "Sydney fans held their faces in their hands as they watched Tom Hawkins pluck the ball out of the ruck, not once but twice.

    It appeared the Swans players had never seen this before, even though everyone in the stands predicted it was going to happen as the ball was thrown in."

    Collingwood supporters at my work don't just think they would've gotten close.

    Collingwood supporters at my work thing they would've beaten Geelong,

    .....just Coz they led Geelong at times during the qualifying final.

    Solid theory.

    Just got an email from the MCC

    What a wonderful AFL Finals Series we had this year as we finally welcomed back September action to the MCG.

    Are they serious?  It was a terrible series and the GF was a shocker.  Someone obviously slept through September.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
