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

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.

Fugging incredible hey!

The filth need a gps to help find them the airport, didn’t travel the last 5 rounds & McGuire complained about playing the lions @ marvel in rd 24! All other top 4 teams travelled twice, in a tight competition how can one team have an advantage???

Told you all this season is rigged.

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?

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.

Why is one team given a 6 day break in a 4 team competition?

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
