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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
