Can't believe the negativity on this site for just a SENSATIONAL LIVE ACT IN KISS?? Seen them several Times, DEEP PURPLE 15 Times, URIAH HEEP, ALICE COOPER, NIGHTWISH, JETHRO TULL SEEN THEM ALL seeing GHOST in October, and lets not forget HAWKWIND!! 

Man, I’d love to see Hawkwind play the Grand Final! Their most recent album is mint. (I might be wrong but I doubt the same could be said for KISS.)

Ran out of media to listen to at the gym and made the stupid decision to listen to first crack from a week ago..

    I'm confident Mason Cox has a single instruction for the game - inflict as much damage to Max, so I hope when Cox is in the forward line and Max drops back, he can return the favour.

    Pies are spooked. Watch Cox come on and doing something early to get the crowd going before fading out.

    I've gained confidence as the week has gone on. They're talking big to compensate. This is going to be a tougher game for them than it is for us. I'll actually be surprised if we lose.

    Probably two good ins when it comes to experience. 
    Im just so keen to watch Trac and Viney. 
    Finals Trac and finals Viney are just built different!

    I would add Brayshaw to your duo. His 'get the ball forward' style of footy is just made for finals

    This is first class analysis of the four finals games.

    Some of the best analysis I've heard - clear, makes sense and well articulated.

    Davis is very impressive. 

    He does the dees game first.

     

    That just makes me more anxious

    Anyone else feeling sick?

    Never had more confidence in this team. Pies will start quick and slick. Once we steady it's over.

    Like our selections. I would go for Jordon as the sub. 

    We need to win the centre clearance and kick straight.

    Actually don't have issue with Hibberd returning to be honest.

    Being of an expense of a tall forward is my biggest issue though. We've gone from a system that has completely worked to the most where all purely numbers back to what they were in 2021 to now potentially throwing that put of wack.

    I think that is a completely reasonable concern. 

    My take is they would have been loath to not go with three talls, but did so because:

    - slippery conditions mean Cox and Cameron are unlikely to clunk many marks inside their 50, so neither are a huge threat because once the ball hits the deck they offer nothing 

    -  Lever will probably get mcstay, but with the slippery conditions mcstay wont clunk many marks so lever can still zone off without too much risk and isn't going to be exposed one on one the way he would in dry conditions 

    - Elliot is key, a big game player that we need to contain. Hibbo is the perfect player to take him 

    - we have two tall forwards in smith and tmac who can go back if it becomes clear we need a third tall defender

    - tomo is too slow, and Turner a risk given his inexperience (but I reckon he'll play in the prelim should we win and it's dry)

    - hibbo's experience, strength and attack on the ball will be super valuable in a game that may prove to be the decisive, and most intense final we play - a huge 50 50 crowd (unlike the gf which is 30% theatre goers) against the old enemy and flag favourites

    Reckon you could just about justify anything in long form Binman

    Not a criticism btw

    Really!

    After our round 2 2021 win over the Saints I was daring to dream about finishing 8th.

    On a stats level too basic to be mentioned in the Stats thread:

    Since round 10 (21 May) Collingwood have played 4 games only against teams in the finals.  They had a good 2 point win against Port in Adelaide and have lost to Melbourne, Carlton and the Lions.

    Over the same time frame, Melbourne have played seven games against each of the fnalists (excepting Port) including Carlton twice and have only lost to GWS (somehow) and the conttroversial loss to Carlton.

    I reckon that is pretty good form coming into the finals.

    I can't stop looking at the hurt someone went through to merge those excel columns together in those very specific, ugly ways.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
