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.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
