    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.

    Lions have a toehold now. Kick another one and they're right back in it

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

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
