    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.

    Having said that the premiers often struggle in the preliminary final.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
