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.

    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?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
