    As much as I dislike Collingwood they have played in some pretty entertaining grand finals over the past 15 years.

    Their losing ones have been entertaining 😀.

    Fagan would be frustrated with those 2 goals on the siren after each quarter. Can't let it happen again.

    With Murphy off surely that hurts there backline & the Brisbane forwards should dominate

    I think it’s time for the AFL to ditch all pregame and halftime entertainment.

    King Stingray would have been awesome.

    Or Amyl and the Sniffers

    Richo agrees with you. He was wearing an AatS T-shirt while interviewing KISS.

    Mark Seymour and the Holy Grail AGAIN.. I love Hunter and Collectors, but the AFL need to learn from the NRL.

    Brisbane’s defensive system (or lack of it), just can’t get their head around Collingwood’s corridor game run from transition. It’s like they’ve paid zero attention to the way Collingwood play. Then again, apart from Quaynor, Maynard and Moore, Collingwood’s defensive 6 are bog ordinary, and Bris get to score frequently from inside 50 entries. So what we have is a high-scoring GF. Anyone’s game from here I guess, but if the umps keep paying high tackle frees for Nick Daicos, that’ll get them there.

    Surprised we haven’t seen Eddie’s fat head so far 🤔

    All about him and timing

    Hate to say it but the ducking player is bloody good.

    Will this be the Hill or Cameron show?

    Hill by a fair way so far.

    Have to stop young Daicos or else.

    I don’t mind them either but that performance and Kiss pre game did nothing to enhance the match day experience in my opinion.

    Kozzi had an average year but has still kicked 10 more goals than hill

    Yep, Hill turns it on beautifully on his day but the thing about Pickett is even on his poorer days he still matters.

    Goalless games: Pickett 3, Hill 5

    Multiple goal games: Pickett 12,  Hill 7

    Pickett brings double the tackles inside 50 and goal assists, too.

    By recognising Hill as an excellent small forward, we can remind ourselves that Pickett continues to be an absolute top shelf small forward even in a season he was a bit off his best and our forward structure resembled a live pig through a bacon shaver.

    Hodge: “that’s a poor decision”

    umpires are having a mare

    Hodge seems to be the only one who’ll comment like this. The others go silent even though you know they agree with him.

    Jesus they have done it again. Maybe an after the siren goal by Brisbane to win it.

    Time to step up, Bailey.

    Re Daicos, we had to listen to all the experts explaining why Toby Green didn’t get that head high free all week, you know he bent at the knees etc.  Then in the first half we have watched Daicos picking up head high frees at will as he drops the knees and leans in to the tackle!

    Will yhe heat and a player down catch up with the pies. 

    I imagine big Joe will take a few marks inside 50 from here on. 

    Can't see a blow out though.

    But pies haven't been the strongest of finishers.

    Good point. Umps keep rewarding him though.

    • REPORT: 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
