    Nick Daicos should be sent off for a concussion test everytime he drops his knees and gets tackled around the head

    It was a hard fought game, but I felt it went long.

    Well anyone who blames the AFL for our missed scoring opportunities is imbecilic. I cbf reading back through the thread so I’ll take your word for it that there are some people on here who are imbecilic.

    It was one of the best games of football in years.

    I for one am shocked that a contentious umpiring decision at the end of the game helped gift Collingwood a premiership.

    A few Lions players were below their best today.

    Even Zorko as much as you hate him, really disappointing.

    Add Hipwood, Cameron, Neale, Dunkley.

    Bet we all have someone at work we aren’t looking forward to seeing 😤

    Lions played slow boundary line football like we do.

    Collingwood probably should have won by around 20 but they didn't really take the game on either.

    Not sure I would call it a great game. Tentative close game more like it

    I know a lot of people are disappointed with our flag being won in Perth rather than on the MCG, but the way we won it is undeniably much more satisfying than what Collingwood dished up this September. Fair play to them though, best team in it all year and there is clearly method to how they win so many close ones. Flat that they won today but not as flat as Geelong winning one and life still went on. No Zorko medal is a bonus.

    I hope this result burns in our guts.

    We should have beaten the Pies in the first final. Not sure we would have beaten a spirited GWS but if we had our kicking boots on, maybe. And probably would have beaten a pretty effective but boring Lions outfit today. 

    The Pies are a good side obviously but I think we’re better, even without our forwards (as shown by some of our best missing terribly in that game). 

    Anyway, huge missed opportunity. Hope the boys know it and practice kicking over the summer, and maybe we pick up a new forward coach and think of some. We ideas to capitalise on the team.

    Would love to be there in 2024 to win it at the G.

    I just wanted to knock off Collingwood so then they would have had to go to Brisbane. Brisbane would have knocked them off at home. It's all what ifs and buts but Collingwood just believe and never give up

    Go and get Naughton its that blatantly obvious, this team needs some separation that Tmac and BBB gave us in 21.

    Friggen fix it while you have the draft capital.

    This club that won the flag 1 hour ago were on the ropes and hanging on for dear life against us.

    Kicked 0.2 in the last quarter of the QF because we had 1 tall playing his 1st year as a marking forward inside 50. 

    Get busy Dees do something constructive, don't just sit on your hands and this is the problem 12 months down the track.

    #FFS.

    I reckon the only part of this that is correct is that Collingwood should have won by more. 

    How you reached the rest of your conclusions is beyond me. It was fast, skillful, aggressive and exciting.

    Wow.. I think that's on you then.

    That was one of the best grand finals I've watched in years in terms of how incredibly close it was and the pressure from both teams.

    I wonder if Fagan will say anything to berry about that dumb 50. 

    But again they let there opposition kick the first 2 goals. Then let De Goey respond after daniher kicked that goal.

    Take a look at the third quarter

    Last quarter only marginally better

    (put the scores out of your mind as that was the thing that kept it interesting)

    • 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.
