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.

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!

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???

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

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

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

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)

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

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
