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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
