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.

Marchons! Marchons!

Surely Brisbane have the stronger forward line. 

I just hope this time next week we are celebrating a lion's victory and laughing at another pies gf loss

I predict that the talking point after the game will be a debate about bringing in red cards.

I dont care if any Toothless feral players get taken to the cleaners!

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. 

Monday   ----- Pies to reclaim crown as best side in AFL

Tuesday  ----- Grand Final sold out 97,000 tickets sold 85,000 Pies fans expected at game

Wednesday -- We have been best side all year and will win "Howe"

Thursday     -- I expect we will be at our best on Saturday "McRea"

Friday          --- Pies odds on to win flag, Bookie say can't be beaten

Saturday     --- Massive Pies crowd at MCG 

Sunday       --- Football world congratulate Brisbane on magnificent Grand Final win.

Monday       ---Maynard and Daicos sited by MRO

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

Edited by whatwhat say what

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
