    My OP was just at a specific emotional level, DD; the boys finals are dead to me now (unless Collingwood and Carlton both crash and burn...) I've moved on, very happily, to the girls' very entertaining campaign.

    I’ll feel better if GWS and Lions win, not just because I hate the other two sides, but because we should have beaten both of them, and it’ll leave the continued feeling of ‘what if’…

    GWS by a point after a controversial disallowed Collingwood goal deep in the last quarter, the camera then panning to Eddie McGuire’s stunned mullet, triple chinned beetroot face in the crowd. Our straight sets exit would almost be worth it just to see that.

    I hate the filth.

    3 magpie attacks in the past month have deepened my hatred. I reported 2 of them on magpiealert.com.

    It should be us playing tonight and the pies tomorrow night against Brisbane. But it's our fault we can't kick.

    Really hoping the giants start well and shut the ferals up. I just desperately want them to win and obviously Brisbane tomorrow night.

    I'll however be mainly watching the storm tonight in their prelim. 

    A giants/storm would be great

    I'll be cheering on the boys in orange with great gusto tonight. We're terribly disappointed after our [censored] the bed performances but if there's one thing that can cheer us up its the sight of the orange boys silencing the MCG. 

    Blues fans have very low expectations so won't be as much enjoyment if they lose. A 100+ point shellacking might sour the euphoria they've been feeling though.

    Hard to see any result aside from Pies v Lions GF.   Lions to win by a point of course - camera cut to Bucks 😂

    Giants are not great at the G and will be intimidated by the crowd surely

    This twilight kick off for a prelim is bizarre. as if sleeping in your own bed after the game matters as opposed the Blues relaxing in brisbane for the night and flying back in the morning. After a huge game having the ice baths and recovery would arguably by preferable to being cooped up on the plane.

    If Jesse and Bedford can kick 6 goals between them (and GWS win) we should offer them life membership.

    There's s "special report" in The Age on the magnificence of Nick Daicos. I can't bring myself to look at it and I'm certainly not posting a link. Go Giants!

    There have been so many news stories about the Blues' cheer squad travelling to Brisbane. They were/are so excited.

    I feel so sorry for the Demon Army (WCW et al). It should have been them.

    Pies and Lions are certainly the most deserving at this point. If GWS wins tonight we absolutely want Brisbane to win because Carlton will beat GWS in a GF.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
