I dunno, even if Brisbane got through it'd gonna be hard. Don't want to watch it and get let down again, the stress bank account has taken a hit lately.

Might go fishing and get drunk on grand final day. I usually love watching it no matter who is in it.

Totally soured this year.

Thanks Gil

    Reading some of these comments... I am glad I have decided to ignore footy other than MFC games.

    Wouldn't surprise me if tomorrow there are some weird things going around the Gabba.

    Btw, I saw that they gave 15000 tickets to Carlton fans. How many did we get against WC back in 2018? I would be surprised if it was more than 5000.

    Yeah you are

    just every motorist trope everyone has heard before it’s boring and totally unecessary given what I said 

    jog on Karen 

    Would you mind proof reading before you post in future, not making a great deal of sense there... 

    Too busy thinking about men in lycra perhaps.

    Bedford’s been a bit overrated this year if you ask me. Kicked 12.17 for the year and missed a crucial goal early in the 3rd qtr tonight which would’ve given GWS some much needed confidence and ascendancy.

    Massive blue. He only had to run straight at the goal and kick through the ball. Tried a too clever by half screw kick.

    Regulation blue for a youngster. It's a prelim, only a seasoned pro straightens up and kicks it

    Similar to Sparrow's miss v Blues.

    I will be attending the Grand Final as an AFL member and if Carlton beat Collingwood  then I’ll reluctantly take it.

    I think you're speaking in riddles BBP.

    If it ends up being a filth vs Carlton GF we all know where you'll be taking it!

    I hate the filth. Sydney beat the filth by a point in last years prelim and then got flogged in the granny. Hope the same happens to the filth this year.

    The most infuriating thing about Collingwood making the Grand Final is that they’re not even that [censored] good.

    Yep, so peeved. Give us Melks and Petty back and we would have had it in the bag.

    You  know who I blame for this. The players from our team who couldn't kick straight to save themselves. 

    It's easy for them. They can escape by going overseas next week. We can't.

    Good enough to get there tho

    We just weren’t (noting injuries and very poor kicking and cacking our dacks last 2 mins v Blues)

    This really is the one that got away

    GWS lost because of 2 bad mistakes in the third quarter, the turnover kick and then the player who didn't bodyline the ball. Both resulted in goals and gave Collingwood back the momentum

    They also missed their first 4 shots at goal. 

    Did Toby go up on the ball in those final minutes because he could have been the experienced one to wrestle it out

    Don't know about that. Last night's game was seriously high quality. I felt at half time, given the Giant's aerial dominance that they would have the edge on us. They were very impressive.

    Collingwood's chaotic style undid them in the third quarter. Giants could not slow the game down and reassert control which is all a bit sad really.

    Very much hoping the Lions get it done for Chris Fagan.

    That was Callum Brown. He was otherwise terrific and a few minutes later kicked a ripper goal, but that was a costly mistake that undid some of his good work.

    Still treated as a minnow club

    and we roll over and accept it (like getting sent to Kardinia Gulag every year since 2000)

    Is this why Carlton got 15,000 tickets at the Gabba for today's game?

    How can that happen unless it was mandated by the AFL?

  • Quote

    If we take  away the crowds and close finishes i think the game is at sn all time low in standard. The amount of time players have to get rid of the ball is not as the game was intended to show of kicking and evasion skills.Again we have too many players around the ball and players are not tiring in the way anticipated at end of games for it to break open. I think thats with 23 including sub but more to do with game plans

    what do other think please

    Really peed off that Cox and Maynard get to play in a grand final. Only consolation will be watching them with their heads in hand when they lose next week.

    what a joke

    Especially after the gws have flown interstate for three games in a row. 

    Hard not to believe it's all about the filth.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
