    bears are lucky they played the pear in week 1 of the finals; those two sides have a history of choking in finals under their current regimes

    at least we have 2021

    Or perhaps Gawn’s palm on the line…

    Or the ARC overturning the ANB goal…

    Or Melksham’s ACL…

    Or our own  inability to kick easy shots on goal…

    Yep. and all those you mentioned would not have happened if we had been given the goal and Finished 2nd

    What is happening looks like both sides that beat us will play off next week and we should have won both games, hope the players think about this over summer, completely [censored] the bed

    On paper, no.

    To beat them you need to out coach them. There's a reason why Goodwin is 1-3 against McRae (and barely got over the line in that one win).

    They are exceptionally well coached.

    Goody completely outcoached McRae on KB. 10 more scoring shots. we just couldn’t kick straight

    and i dont think we were out coached in the QF just didn’t get it done. again kicked poorly. we need to improve skills

    The entire Finals System would have changed…

    Coulda, shoulda, woulda

    Doesn't change my point. With a midfield full of crapp kicks and no dominant key forward, we don't win finals. The 2 x straight sets is absolute proof of that. The Carlton H&A game doesn't change our inability to win finals.

    Watson and Daisy doing special comments. It’s a struggle. 

    Special mention to the nincompoop who commented on the "finals-like atmosphere" at the Gabba.

    Um, yeah.  It's a final you goose.

    If Lions do win it somehow they have no hope next week. Blues do have a shot though. There is something in being dog hungry.

    Fitzroy at least look to have stopped Carlton's momentum with around 5 minutes left in that 1st quarter and will need to start chipping away at that deficit now. 

    Home crowd seem a bit stunned and intimidated by the large travelling contingent of a real football club instead of the  frankenstein outfit they follow.

    We tried all year with the goal kicking stuff.  Didn't work when it counted and also in a number of H&As.

    We need fresh blood that brings the skills / finish / finesse with them as well as a new forward coach.

    And of course a midfield coach now that Ooze has moved on.

    😂.. am laughing.

    Can’t we just have two commentators and maybe one boundary rider? Way too many cooks.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
