    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: 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
