    anyway lets hope Goodwin decide to review the Collingwood and Carlton matches

    I’d say this time it's not a hope for our coach penal to do it, but a strong demand for them to do it if they had no intention to. Despite our loss in these two games, there's a lot to learn from them. In my opinion, the three finals matches we participated in the finals series in 2021 didn't pose much of a strong challenge because we were too good. We have our weaknesses and shortcomings, both among the players and the coaches, which haven't been exposed at crucial times or, when exposed, didn't have a significant impact and didn't receive much attention. In the last two minutes of Carlton's game, to be precise, 43 seconds between Lever’s mark and Acre’s goal, some of our weaknesses and shortcomings were exposed big time, and Carlton seized the opportunity, scored, and won the game. Thank God, that wasn't the GF, or I'd be furious. I'll discuss these 43 seconds and other issues in detail next month.

    3 and a half hours left until Collingwood are in the Grand Final. Really enjoying a nice dinner with my remaining freedom.

    Collingwood in a grand final is like being under a dictatorship.

    I can't believe the Blues dropped Kemp.

    I would get into his ear about coming to us.

    192 cm defender/forward. He would look better in red and blue.

    Cwood supporters constant booing just shows a real arrogant sense of entitlement.

    I do hope they bloody lose.

    They’re collectively a horrible horrible supporter base with no redeeming features.

    Garry Lyon making me want to throw-up:

    'Collingwood smacked Melbourne off the park'

    In a joking manner 'Maynard won't be far away, wanting to feel body on body.'

    Not sure I can watch this. Watched 5 minutes of coverage now 10 minutes before the bounce and I'm already over it.

    Sad to think that could be us out there if Gus didn't get bushwhacked. We can just hope gws bring a small amount of justice since the Afl won't.

    I emailed our president about this today. The AFLs failure to properly prosecute, Gleesons conflict of interest (or appearance of), Gleeson’s shocking comments, the AFLs manifest failure in appealing, the clubs failure in very clearly rejecting the victim blaming of gus and condemnation of the media bias. Sick of being the good corp citizen.

    It’s going to be tough watching both games this weekend and so much worse if Collingwood and Carlton both win.

    Well done Su.

    Got a feeling tonight will be a close one.

    Pies are seriously overrated.

    Not the team they were earlier this season.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
