I'd like this scenario too actually. Rematches are always fun.

We had to do it in 1990 against Hawthorn. Won both games, but they were brutal and we had nothing else left in the tank.

    What would make me laugh is if carlton beat GWS tmmrw and then go on and lose the elim to the dogs.

    That's still one of my favourite finals wins. I was so scared that the mighty Hawks would roll us in the 2nd half but I was just a dumb little kid at the time.

    In other news sure to stir the pot I'm happy to see Tex Walker take the lead in the Coleman. Gives us something to watch if our game is a dead rubber.

    Gee, Tex is so good to watch when he's on. 

    9.4 tonight takes him to 76 goals for the season. Sam Taylor has a big job on Curnow tomorrow.

    Some good players exiting West Coast in Hurn, Shuey and Nic Nat. All great to watch over the journey.

    The game was on youtube a while ago

    It is played at Grand Final pressure

    Curnow has not been held goalless all season and last time Carlton played GWS in Sydney, Curnow kicked 2 so I would say the odds are in Charlie's favour for Coleman Medal No. 2. He needs 1 goal to draw level with Tex, 2 goals to win it outright.

    I hope he's kept goalless just quietly.

    Same. I like Tex and I’d love to see him take it out instead of Charlie.

    I could see it happen too. The Dogs have heaps of finals experience and are a different side in September. Carlton have started to dip and are finals virgins-so-to-speak.

    One of the only times you'll find me barracking for Footscray.

    It's been an awesome resurgence and I'll be happy to see him finally make the AA team. Was hard being a key forward in the time of Buddy, Hawkins, Jack R and Josh Kennedy but he's had s great career.

    Such a shame the Croms have been denied Finals, purely because of AFL Pig Headed incompetence 

    Adelaide would be far more entertaining than Footscray

    Brisbane faced a very determined St Kilda to day but the maggots ensured the Saints didn't really have any chance.

    In so doing Brisbane, i think, have two consecutive home games.

    Likewise. The umpires’ darlings from 2016-2022. Had almost 50 more free kicks to their opposition in the 2016 finals series, the Grand Final itself being the tip of the iceberg, especially in the last half when the game was on the line. The one Premiership I genuinely look back at and think, that wasn’t just.

    I would love the Dees to have such a goalkicking key forward. 

    Tex was very getable too at the end of 2022. No club wanted to touch him though for PR reasons after that incident which saw him banished and publicly shamed. We should have offered him a contract, he would have come knowing it was a more likely route to success in the final stages of his career.

    That wouldn’t happen.

    The Dogs struggled to beat Geelong’s VFL side last night.

    It was probably only match fitness of Cat’s younger guys in the last quarter that gave Dogs the win.

    They look an unhappy team.

    Saints supporters would be barracking for us today.

    If we win, they’ll get a home final in Melbourne.

    If we lose, not only do they have to go to Sydney in week 1 (unless GWS win by 11 goals) they’ll also have to travel to the loser of Port or Brisbane in week 2.

    How much would Port have to win by to take 2nd off Brisbane?

    250 points me thinks.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
