What a ****ty, ****ty morning! 

At the start of this year I was dead set certain I'd finally be putting my GF guarantee to use and heading off to watch the Dees defend their crown.

What a [censored] up of a season.

As to the outcome today. I'd be physically ill if I have to watch Scott arrogantly soaking in the victory  .  Go  Swans!

If Geelong win, I will stop watching on the final siren (or earlier if they have it sewn up).

My fervent hope other than a Syd win is that Dangerfield does NOT win the NSM.

This GF is a real struggle because it brings back the pain of not experiencing this live last year.

Its fantastic that we won last year but it hurts to have been denied that joy and seeing what the GF fans have this week makes me jealous.


I’ve NEVER cared less about a grand final, ever.

Greatest season gets the greatest Grand Final as the greatest of all time gets his first premiership medal in the last game of a Buddy long contract.

Perfectly poised to complete a brilliantly orchestrated campaign.

The dominant side of the competition all year with the weapons to get the job done.

Glenn McFarlane 

Geelong 16

First goal Lance Franklin

Sixteen wins in a row would be fitting end for the most consistent and best team of the season.

Jay Clark

Geelong 15

First goal Tyson Stengle

Cats will play with a spare defender to take sting out of Sydney pressure. 

Lauren Wood

Geelong 16

First goal Tom Papley

Norm Smith Sam De Koning

Experience counts for plenty and these Cats have it in spades. It’s Danger time. 

Mark Robinson

Geelong 28

First goal Tyson Stengle

Perfectly balanced between offence and defence. Will make it 16 in a row and end one of the more dominant season by a club.

The Cats have been the best team all year and don’t have many weak links.

Jon Ralph 

Geelong 9

First goal Patrick Dangerfield

Cameron and Stengle the game-breakers despite Sydney’s pressure turning this into an old-fashioned scrap.

Tim Watson

Geelong is in great form, fit, and has been the master of all. Sydney may be unbalanced without Sam Reid.

Kath Loughnan

Sydney 15

First goal Tom Papley

Norm Smith Luke Parker

Sydney’s elite pressure over four quarters coupled with their dynamic forward line and underrated backline will deliver the Swans an earlier than expected premiership.

The Grand Final is back where it belongs in Australia’s sporting capital. The city is the winner.

Geelong 22

First goal Tom Hawkins

Healthy, too much experience, too many match winners forward of centre.

Mick McGuane

Geelong 15

First goal Will Hayward

Geelong’s defensive mechanisms will disrupt the Swans ball movement and their attack is potent.

I’d love to see Joel Selwood - a champion on & off the field lift the cup.

The best team all year prove why, with the best player in the competition firing.

So lucky me got tickets in the MCC ballot, don't get me wrong I'm very thankful but just can't help but feel a tad disappointed it's not us today.

As I stated in another thread it would be good if some of the boys got to the G today to make them realise what they've missed out on playing at the G gf day.

Based on the poll results it looks like there will be a lot of upset Demonlanders on Saturday.

I'm already upset with 9.38% of you.

And deeeepressed we're not there.

Maybe Robbie Williams will cheer me up...pffft

Yeah I've found myself not watching or listening to as much media surrounding this game.


Geelong to lose by big margin or Geelong to have big lead and get over ran. Hmm decisions decision.

14 straight wins coming into the game

Cats down by 2 and Danger marks on the siren

 Hits the post!

*the only thing that would make me happy today 

After loads of rain it is an absolutely stunning day here in the northern Rivers.

I never thought winning a flag would lead to feeling so hollow today.

Thoughts with everyone today.

I hope this burns our club to come back harder next year.

Gardening, beach then coffin bay oysters, prawns, champagne and beers.....and some OxyContin if the cats get up.

See you all at the big dance next year. 

Go Dees.

Changed my mind, a dodgy score review over-turning the goal after the Cats celebrate. Then Scott’s head explodes

Jealousy aside, it is so great to see Grand Final back at the G. Seeing some of those MCC people waiting since Thurs and the old door buster sale thing. Fantastic.


I just feel so frustrated. Dees should be there.  Such a disappointing end to the year.  I’d be happy to play either in the GF. We owned the Swans until the umps changed the course. 
I think it’s the Cats this year.  

Apparently Holmes will be a late out according to channel 7.

Heading to the game today. Nothing could possibly go close to seeing the boys play a GF at the G, however after no grand finals here for 2 seasons it’s still exciting to see one live.

Gary Rohan Knocks it though for a point works for me. .


Cats by 6 goals.

Mind you I have under rated the Swans for the lst 10 years.

Decent chance Cats kick 7 goals to 1 in the first Q and it’s game over 

Swans need to play a massive first Q

 

I'm genuinely debating with myself;

"Watch this grand final or use the time to go shopping for vitamins and supplements with my wife, ready for her visit to overseas family."

The only positive, so far, today is that we are reigning premiers for the next 6 hours

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
