Can anybody name the other Grand Final Coach who never played without looking it up?  (I couldn't)

 

28oC during the game

advantage to the Lions for sure

 

Cox will have to wear his sunglasses  😂

I hope his goggles fog up and he trips over himself, falls flat on his face, breaks his nose and never plays again.

 

Another year and we don't have to wonder where our post match celebrations will be held.

Can Collingwood still use Victoria Park and how about the Lions at Brusnswick Street Oval. Olympic Park does not have the same feel.

I see the Pies are trying a fan site at Olympic Park. These have never really worked in the past. A pity.... I wonder what would attract people.

I thought our post premiership day at the MCG was well done but I hope the next one is even better

Some returned tickets from the MCC ballot become available tomorrow. I'm not bothering. 

FWIW, I was again attacked by a freakin magpie while riding today. That's 4 times in the past month.

Death to magpies!!

Joyce and Hafey both played VFL footy.  It's a great trivia question!

so hard not to google it. certainly a cracking question 

it’s actually surprising there’s aren’t more coaches that’s haven’t played at the highest level. Jose Mourinho types

Anyone going for Collingwood?

Hell will freeze over before I ever support that club.

I looked it up.

Clue: he played in the VFA

The last one I can remember is Wayne Brittain at Carlton.

edit:  Add Brendan McCartney and Neil Craig (who did play 300+ SANFL games).

I didn’t know Chris Fagan never played VFL/AFL. Now I’m wondering why I oftentimes heard Brendon Bolton being criticised as a coach because of the fact that he never played at the highest level. I’ve never heard this sort of talk about Fagan.

Brendon Bolton

And there's another one!  Forgot all about him, even though he coached as recently as 2019.

I just hope it's Leigh Matthews presenting the trophy at the end of the game 

It is:

Another thing I won't see, then...

COS I WON'T BE WATCHING!

Edited by Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Dammit, this still hurts. We absolutely should be playing this weekend. Anyway. Go Brisbane, I guess. Purely because the alternative doesn’t bear thinking.

Cox getting a medal will mean the nausea going into effect.

Maynard getting a medal will mean a churning feeling in the stomach.

Howe getting a medal will mean chunks and bile all over the tv.

I'll watch it, but the TV will be turned off if the unthinkable becomes inevitable.

Ich bin ein Brisbaner!

Won't be watching. Not sure why anyone on here would. Picking up a new car then watching our 2021 finals. Will be a great day.

What car @Clintosaurus? Take a video of picking it up and put it on Demonland, I’d rather watch that than the GF.

Anyone painting? Good viewing (relatively) there, too.

Subaru Forester Sport. If only the XT was still a thing.

No, but I could always stream one of Bob Ross’ painting sessions

Had to look him up. Nice Catoggioid hair!

However, I had the drying phase in mind. Warm day, but I reckon there'd still be 4 quarters plus presentations worth.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
