I'm proud to say I picked the GWS renaissance before we played them in Round 15 or whenever it was.

However at quarter time of Carlton v GC at the MCG in June, I thought Carlton were more likely to finish bottom 4 and sack Voss than get anywhere near this far.

He was probably only 1 or 2 more losses away for that.

It genuinely is a game of fine fine margins. Careers are built and lost on it, both players and coaching staff.

100 bucks he'll target T Greene 

Greene plays better when the oppo try to intimidate him. Maynard will go to work on someone else

The Giants were excellent last night (other than goal-kicking in the second half). I wish we could play like that.

We definitely need some new assistant coaches who can help evolve a more corridor-based plan. The game has moved on and i fear we're getting left behind.

Ha. No-one has mentioned that GWS beating Port, puts us at 6th, instead of 5th and improves our draft hand by one spot. That's enough to barack for the Giants (and my daughter likes their song)

 

maybe we should have lost more games

Preferably on an incorrect score review.  Karma.

" getting " left behind?..anyone who stopped being silly and watched the Pies LAST season saw MFC was already left behind.

Absolutely, love their game style and have a massive soft spot for Hoges and Bedford.

Surely he has another friend there he 'loves' that he can knock out?

They’re a highly skilled team 

They take the first option, like a top premier league team.  We are always stopping and propping with no options upfield.

Lions v GWS GF coming up hopefully! I actually think it’ll happen. Don’t mind which of those sides wins, as long as the other two don’t (who showed they were inferior to us in the finals). I still have a soft spot for the Lions because they knocked off Essendon and Collingwood in the 2001-03 GFs, something I’ll be forever grateful for.


YES

Desperately want a Lions v GWS grand final and wipe that smerk of disbelief off  Voss's face.

No  way Maynard goes after Mr Toby or any other player. They'd rip that dogs head off.

 Melbourne are still  considered soft in some aspects otherwise Maynard wouldnt have slaughtered Brayshaw. Why didnt Melbourne make his game hell?

MFC have to shutdown all this social work nonesense. Ben Brown spent most of the season hanging with children. Hes the highest paid social worker in Australia on 650k ?

Shutdown Alice Springs and all that feel good nonesense that goes with it.

We look soft. Its  just a fact so get over it. If we dont toughen up we'll go out in straight sets again.

It took Scott a long time to change the Geelong game and they had footy IQ superstars in their team.

Can we wait 10 years for the penny to drop?

They’re also super clean. It was nice to watch a team play with such crispness. Especially the second quarter. It looked elite.

Can the following words be banned moving forward.....

learnings

elite

 .....theyre meaningless rubbish.

Zoned to the Giants at birth (Bankstown Hospital) so hope they win it. Moreso so Gil, the media, Pies and Blues all have faces like dropped pies at the end. 

I can’t stand the plastics but gee I hope they cremate the filth in the prelim. I reckon they will do it easy too.

It’s an obvious choice. Go the orange. 
 

I agree with all of this but still have a beef with the afl syndicated team and the grief we copped through the draft when they came into the competition. 
My vote is for a night grand final and a massive power failure as a result of the Kiss concert at half time which will take 6 months to fix

What? Let's state the actual facts here. Melbourne should have won both finals this year. The problem wasn't our game style. It was purely and simply execution (plus injuries to key players at the wrong time). If Brayshaw had played against Carlton & Collingwood (he played the first 5 minutes) we would have won. If Van Rooyen had played against Carlton we would have won. If Melksham & Petty weren't out we would have won both finals. If we had kicked remotely straight and had a decent amount of luck we would have won.

What exactly have Collingwood achieved so far? Didn't make the Grand Final last year and are in the Prelim this year when they don't deserve to be. We have absolutely nothing to learn from Collingwood's game style. Other sides have now worked them out. A good team but not a great one.

Total BS. Melbourne aren't a soft team. We didn't lose either game because we were soft. Poor execution, yes. Lapses in concentration at key times, yes. What an idiotic comment about social work. Ben Brown clearly has chronic injury concerms and I'm happy he's making a difference to the world if he's not playing. Have his social work activities caused his inability to get on the park? NO. We play in Alice Springs for purely financial reasons. If we are there why wouldn't we support the local community?

if your cheering purely based on not wanting someone else to win well that’s how Donald Trump got in power 

The Giants and Donald Trump have got one thing in common ... they're both orange.

Obviously every Melbourne supporter is going to support GWS against Collingwood. I'm not entirely convinced about GWS yet. They've beaten probably the weakest 2 teams in the finals in their 2 games. Having said that, Collingwood were extremely lucky to beat Melbourne. They will be strengthened by the return of Nick Daicos but he could be underdone. Collingwood aren't a great team despite the media hype so I'm hoping GWS can take it up to them.

A Brisbane/GWS Grand Final would be fantastic. Also justified as Carlton are in a Prelim because they've won 2 games they should have lost (in both cases they were outplayed but their opponents couldn't convert when it counted), and Collingwood also should have lost against Melbourne.   

 

Yes, yes and yes my family are riding GWS like Sea Biscuit lol.!!! I love the way they play they have a bit more height, pace and skill through the midfield, the very thing we need to stock up on this draft period. Dare I say it, Go Giants and please leave a calling card with Maynard.!!!!

Amazing what good kicking can do. Although they missed a few as well overall they have some elite kicks in Kelly, Whitfield etc.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
