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.

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?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
