Feel it’ll be the Lions day. Daniher is the key, if he can mark and dominate and kick straight he’s unstoppable 

Pies have choked in GFs for decades 

they are 3 wins from their last 16. 

relax everyone. Maybe Bucks can give the pre match speech on how to choke

Cameron doesn't mind the dry conditions too. Loves playing the filth as well.

Did I just hear that [censored] Hamish McLachlan say about KISS  "world class act for the world's biggest sport?"  Pffffff. What planet is he on?  Soccer, basketball, tennis and cricket say hi.

Might not be the biggest but it's the best

Makes me sick to think of the monumental waste of money the AFL has paid to get KISS today when, for example, our AFLW players, if out injured or rehabbing etc. but wanting to go interstate to support their teammates, have to pay their own way there. That’s just one example. FFS, get a young Aussie band to perform next time.

haven’t been able to bring myself to switch the game on. 

not sure i will

the cheering of Maynard will make me want to murder someone 

I am turning off as soon as it looks like Collingwood has it won. I hope that never happens. I worry the umps will keep it close if the Lions are going well but let the Pies kick away if they can.

Fair to say it applies to all of us today. It's up to the lions to stop us getting too hammered.

Collingwood do often win by small margins, so often one might say it's a strength. 

They certainly dont throw away games and have supporters trying to turn that into how unlucky they were.

On top of that ,thuggery and all,they play like they are enjoying it.

Maybe Goodwins boys could take a leaf out that book and see if it helps their big game lack of composure.

Fmd! 

MFC arnt in the G/F because of  a dysfunctional forward line ,injuries  and lack of poise when the pressure is on.

They certainly try hard though

McRae leans into the 19th man. They are doing this "for the fans".

We won a flag in Perth while we were all at home in our underwear. 

In 2022 our own players were criticising us for not turning up. Then we choke in 4 finals in a row at the MCG.

McRae is a superb coach and their fans are fully bought in. They take them for the ride. I don't feel like I'm on the "journey" that Goodwin talks about. I feel like just an observer. That's the difference between clubs like Melbourne and Collingwood and it's why they've played in like 35% of all Grand Finals.

They’ve played in 20 of the last 80 grand finals but only won three of them. I think I’ll stick with Melbourne.

Kiss are appalling 

Just embarrassing…

Live lead vocals, the rest is backing tracks. Gene Simmons isn't even playing the bass in rhythm to the music.

Mike Brady is always great. Nice nod to RDB.

Gimme the all Australian 2021 pre match anytime.

Probable biased.

But Kiss is so Gill and AFL bombastic BS

I'm loving watching our girls play instead of this hyped up garbage

I can report the beach down on the Mornington Peninsula is superb. It’s pretty crowded so obviously there are a lot of people like myself who don’t give a rats about todays GF.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
