I feel sorry for everyone living in Victoria atm. It must be sickening with all the media attention. Go Lions!

 

Quite fitting that Kiss have the half time gig this year. Will be an absolute bogan fest. 

Probably the least excited I’ve been for a grand final. Very weak season and whoever is the eventual premier will be remembered as a weak premier alongside the Bulldogs 2016.

I agree with the sentiment, and that’s not really how it works in reality, is it?

Anyway, tin foil hat time ,- I sat with 5 people last night, 1 Collingwood - 1 Freo and 2 Geelong supporters, and another Dees supporters, who all felt the game was umpired with a strong bias towards confecting to a particular outcome. 3 in particular had never previously harboured a sense that the AFL attempts to manipulate outcomes - although all agreed they do it off the field, be it tribunals, or Essendon, or the umpire that was charged with betting, or HR issues, or… They were gobsmacked about the first quarter and a bit.. about the non calls being made, and even the Collingwood supporter could reflect enough (female!) that GWS did not get the ‘rub; in the final quarter the night before.

Anyway - your comment got  me thinking about the Dogs - and how simultaneously in EPL there was also the fairytale story of Leicester in the same year… HOW Convenient! and then the Dees, winning in an already compromised (financially) Covid year… yep - I think I’ve gone off the deep end

I'd have happily accepted a "weak" flag this year. it would go well with our 2021 "flash in the pan" flag. 

Maybe next year we'll have better luck. A "lucky" flag perhaps. I'd take that as well.

Je suis un Lion.

Marchons! Marchons!

Surely Brisbane have the stronger forward line. 

I just hope this time next week we are celebrating a lion's victory and laughing at another pies gf loss

I predict that the talking point after the game will be a debate about bringing in red cards.

I dont care if any Toothless feral players get taken to the cleaners!

At least there will be a fair few lions fans there next week.

I wonder who they'll get to present the cup.

All the ex superstar lions are coaches at other clubs. Maybe Jono Brown. Collingwood no idea. 

Monday   ----- Pies to reclaim crown as best side in AFL

Tuesday  ----- Grand Final sold out 97,000 tickets sold 85,000 Pies fans expected at game

Wednesday -- We have been best side all year and will win "Howe"

Thursday     -- I expect we will be at our best on Saturday "McRea"

Friday          --- Pies odds on to win flag, Bookie say can't be beaten

Saturday     --- Massive Pies crowd at MCG 

Sunday       --- Football world congratulate Brisbane on magnificent Grand Final win.

Monday       ---Maynard and Daicos sited by MRO

Be the other way around. Maynard will be taking heads. Nothing to stop him and he goes home with a medal.

bears better win

BUT

quite frankly, i think both sides 'need' to win

bears have been up and about for a solid five seasons now and this is their first genuine chance of winning a premiership in that time

the filth, on the other hand, i just don't see as playing a 'sustainable' brand of football

Edited by whatwhat say what

my wish is that fitsrroy take out the flag.

and zorko and maynard take out each other in a head-to-head clash in the first minute.


Unfortunately there will be a winner out of Lions and Pies.  Hate Zorko. Hate Maynard.  Unfortunately one of these grubs will get a premiership.  
 

Fortunately there will be a loser.  🤣🤣 Pies lose. Wasted year after finishing on top. Colliwobbles. 
Lions lose. Perhaps their last chance. Would be the MCG Hoodoo !!!

Isn't there some rule about doubling suspension lengths for GF indiscretions?

Can anyone recall a Grand Final where it was twenty-seven degrees?

In 1987, the temperature reached 30 degrees.  Michael Tuck wore a short-sleeved jumper!

It was the week after Melbourne lost that awful Prelim Final to Hawthorn (the Jimmy Stynes incident).  

 

 

 

Same thing SWYL, to not have that feeling that at least one team deserved to be there. 

By the way Collingwood not there next year will mean of course that Carlton will, as pre determined by the AFL cheats.

Anyone happen to notice that the two tacklers in the GWS game both involved unfair tackles by the Daicos mob.

Were they singled out to be given special "carte blanche" in their tackles, and they wouldn't be reported?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
